Moodigere: A provocative and at the same time a controversial statement has come from the Taluk Bajrangdal Convenor Avinash. "If Hindu outfits take up machetes then they are capable of  eliminating the Muslims here in no time,"  Avinash   said while addressing the VHP and Bajrangdal protestors who staged a Rasta Roko  at the Lions Circle here condemning  Deepak Rao murder at Katipalla near Mangaluru.

M K Pranesh, MLC who also addressed the protestors alleged that the PFI activists were  resorting to killings of Hindu activists and demanded a ban on PFI and SDPI. "The Chief Minister  who was touring the state was sowing the seeds  of hatred," he further alleged and  dubbed the CM as communal.

 Former MLA M P Kumaraswamy  accused the state government of   not releasing  even a penny for the development of   Moodigere constituency. It is shameful on the part of the CM to inaugurate the projects  for which funds were released during the previous BJP rule, he added.

The activists  later submitted a memorandum to the Tahsildar.

Taluk Panchayat President K C Ratna, Vice President Savitha Umesh and many others participated in the protest.
