Karkala: “Sri Rama Sene, Bajrang Dal, Go Raksha Dal are responsible for several mysterious deaths in the country which is in rise day by day. These organisations are not saviours of the religion, instead are guardians of politics,” said Former MLA H Gopala Bhandary here on Sunday, April 30.
He was addressing a massive protest organised by Youth Congress and Block Congress condemning the role of Sri Rama Sene leader in the death of Surekha Poojary of Kanthavara.
The real face of Irvattur Roshan Kotian and the entire team of Sri Rama Sene who are involved in mentally forcing Surekha, a mother of three-year-old daughter to end life must be revealed to the people of Karnataka. Fake pro-Hindu organisations like Sri Rama Sene, Bajrang Dal, Go Rakshak Dal have involved in anti-societal activities. Culprits in Praveen Poojary case, Kukkundur gram panchayath former president Praveen Shetty suicide, Sharath Shetty who is involved in Neere-Bailur case of impregnating a woman are all having links with the Sangh Parivar and the BJP.
Former minister Abhay Chandra Jain addressing the protesters, said, there needs to be a new law to stop atrocities against women. Kanthavara Surekha Poojary is daughter of Moodabidri. I appreciate the action taken by state government against all the culprits in the case.
