Mangaluru: Sangh Parivar group accused of barging into Holi party, destroying banners
Six members of group identified, investigation on: says top cop
Mangaluru: A group of Sangh Parivar activists allegedly barged into a party organized in Maroli on Sunday, destroyed things and also engaged in a verbal duel with the organizer.
The party, ‘Rang De Barsa’, was held in Maroli for Holi and youngsters were participating in it, splashing one another with colour.
The Sangh Parivar activists, who arrived there on learning of the ‘DJ Party’, pulled down the ‘Holi’ banner and destroyed the stocks of colour kept for use during the celebration.
The ruckus is also said to have led to an argument between the activists and the party host.
Mangaluru City Police Commissioner Kuldeep Kumar Jain, when asked about the incident, said, “Six activists have been identified from the group that raided the party venue. We have also received information about the banners being torn down. The matter will be further investigated and an FIR will also be filed.”

Priyanka Gandhi takes oath as LS MP after big win from Wayanad
New Delhi (PTI): Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra took oath as a Lok Sabha MP on Thursday following her thumping victory from Kerala's Wayanad in a bypoll.
The 52-year-old, who joins her mother Sonia and brother Rahul as an MP in what is a rare instance of three members of a family together in Parliament, took affirmation in Hindi while holding a copy of the Constitution soon after the House met.
Ravindra Chavan (Cong), who won the Nanded bypoll also took oath in Marathi in the name of God. The bypoll was necessitated following the demise of his father Vasantrao Chavan recently.
Priyanka Gandhi took the plunge into active politics in 2019 and was later appointed Congress general secretary. Five years after that, Priyanka Gandhi begins her journey as an elected representative of the people.
With a winning margin of more than 4.1 lakh votes, she surpassed the tally of her brother Rahul Gandhi from Wayanad in Kerala.
Priyanka Gandhi's entry into Parliament comes at a difficult time for the party, which has been jolted by electoral defeats in Haryana and Maharashtra. It would be interesting to see if she is able to give a much-needed fillip to the grand old party and help put it back on the electoral track.
Often drawing comparisons with her grandmother Indira Gandhi for their similarity in looks and way of speaking, Priyanka Gandhi has been the go-to campaigner for the party since her entry into active politics and even before that when she campaigned for her mother Sonia and brother Rahul.
Congress leaders from Wayanad handed over the election certificate of the Wayanad parliamentary by-election to Priyanka Gandhi on Wednesday and conveyed their best wishes.
Priyanka Gandhi on Saturday won the Wayanad Lok Sabha bypoll with a thumping margin of over four lakh votes, defeating Sathyan Mokeri of the CPI(M)-led LDF.
