Dakshina Kannada BJP holds meet against Pulwama attack in Mangaluru
Mangaluru: Dakshina Kannada BJP Unit, on Monday organised a condemnation meet against the dastardly Pulwama attack, earlier last week that killed 44 CRPF soldiers and injured several others.
The event was organised outside the Deputy Commissioner’s office, and was attended by several party leaders of Dakshina Kannada, including MP Nalin Kumar Kateel.
The event began, with several anti-Pakistan slogans . While addressing the event, ex-MLC Monappa Bhandary questioned the move by police for restricting them from anti-Pakistan sloganeering.
“Why are we being asked to not speak about Pakistan, even when we know what they’ve done?” He went on and while pointing at officers present at the event for security, asked them “Don’t you have love for the country in your hearts? You say law and order situation will arise if we speak against Pakistan, if it happens, then what are you for? Has our police department become coward that they are afraid of some Pakistani agents who call themselves secular and speak in favor of Pakistan?”
“We don’t want such police department, we are enough to handle these people who speak in support of Pakistan, and we can protect our Motherland from such goons, better than coward police department” Monappa added.
“These so called secular people are questioning, what Narendra Modi has done after the attack, I want to make it clear that, Narendra Modi has done, that was never done before”. Taking a dig at former India cricketer and Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu, without naming him, Monappa said “Those who say that the Pakistan PM was a cricketer and their friend, and speak in favor of Pakistan, they have no place in India, they should go to Pakistan along with their other such agent”.
Moodabidri MLA, Umanath Kotian in his address expressed his solidarity with the martyred soldiers and called on all those who were present at the event to maintain one minute of silence in martyrs’ solidarity. He then added that the citizens of this country have absolute faith in Narendra Modi, and will stand by the Prime Minister’s side for any retaliation action he plans.

Silver heist: Three detained in Chikkaballapur
Chikkaballapur (PTI): A gang of unidentified men struck a jewellery store here and decamped with around 140 kg of silver ornaments valued at nearly Rs three crore, police said on Wednesday.
According to the police, the burglars broke open the shop’s shutter and door locks on Monday night and carried out the theft without leaving behind any immediate clues.
The burglary came to light on Tuesday morning when shop staff arrived to open the showroom and found the locks broken, following which the police were informed.

Officials visited the spot and conducted an inspection.
“Special teams were formed to trace the accused, and efforts were intensified after it was found that the thieves had also stolen the CCTV DVR from the premises,” a police officer said.
The burglars entered the shop at 12.10 am and spent over three hours. Initially, they attempted to break open the lock using an iron rod, but later cut it using a cutter to gain entry.
The accused reportedly filled three bags with silver ornaments and fled the scene at around 3.10 am. The entire incident was captured on CCTV footage.
The police have detained three suspects in connection with the case.
Further investigation is underway to ascertain whether they were involved in similar crimes elsewhere, police added.
