Mangaluru Police Commissioner 'biased': Campus Front of India State President
Mangaluru: Campus Front of India State President Fayaz Dodmane on Friday slammed Mangaluru Police Commissioner Dr. PS Harsha alleging that he was biased in his job as the Commissioner of Police.
Speaking at a press conference in the wake of Wednesday’s incident in a leading Mall of the city wherein a man was assaulted by a group of students, Fayaz added that the Harsha did not file case against Manjunath, who was attacked for provocative speech when he said India is a ‘Hindu Rashtra’.
“The police did not file case against Manjunath for provocative speech. When the complaint was submitted the police did not accept it. Police Commissioner is not allowing CFI to speak on the issue too. He is taking to twitter to write that the accused in the case have been arrested” Fayaz told reporters.
Manjunath, a resident of Bantwal was on Wednesday attacked by a group of college students in a mall when he reportedly said India was a ‘Hindu Rashtra’. Police have arrested five people including a Juvenile in the case so far.

Congress using hijab issue to pacify minority anger, alleges Karnataka LoP R Ashoka
Bengaluru: Leader of Opposition in the Assembly R. Ashoka has accused the Congress government of using the hijab issue to placate what he described as discontent among minority voters after the Davanagere by-election.
In a post on X on Wednesday, Ashoka alleged that the state government, instead of addressing issues such as price rise, corruption, farmers’ distress and law and order, was attempting to retain its minority vote base by reviving the hijab issue.
Referring to the 2022 dress code introduced by the BJP government, which prohibited hijab in schools and colleges, Ashoka said the Karnataka High Court had upheld the policy and emphasised the importance of discipline in educational institutions.
He questioned the Congress government’s move to revisit the issue and asked whether setting aside the court-backed policy to benefit one community could be described as secularism.
Ashoka further alleged that while the government was willing to permit hijab, it continued to prohibit saffron shawls.
He accused the government of dividing students on religious lines rather than treating schools and colleges as spaces of equality.
Drawing a comparison with Mamata Banerjee’s government in West Bengal, Ashoka claimed that excessive appeasement politics had harmed the state and warned that the Congress in Karnataka could face a similar political response.
He said voters in Karnataka would teach the Congress a lesson for what he termed “vote-bank politics” and for compromising constitutional and judicial principles.
