Mangaluru: Udupi, DK Muslim Central Committee's January 4 protest postponed
Mangaluru: The protest against organised by Dakshina Kannada and Udupi Muslim Central Committee that was scheduled to be held on January 4, has now been postponed. Speaking at a press conference in Mangaluru on Thursday evening, Mohammed Masood, the President of the organisation informed about the latest development.
According to Dakshina Kannada and Udupi Central Committee president KS Muhammad Masood the protest was postponed after Mangaluru Police Commissioner, Dr. PS Harsha denied permission to the protest citing law and order situation.
“After Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai’s recent visit to the city, the Police Commissioner asserted that allowing protests at Nehru Maidan will create law and order situation in the region and hence has temporarily rejected our request adding that we can select any alternate venue for our protest. But we will only organise our protest at Nehru Maidan even if it means delaying it for some time,” Masood added.
The organisation also condemned the State Government’s move to withdraw the ex-gratia of Rs 10 lakh announced to the families of the two deceased killed in police firing. It added that the government after announcing the ex-gratia should not have withdrawn it.
“Honoring the reasons of law and order situation given by Police Commissioner we have postponed the protest, we will wait for another 15 days and will decide our further course of action,” Masood added.
