No links between Sri Rama Sene and Gauri Lankesh murder: Mutalik
Hindu advocates convention on August 12
Bengaluru, August 9: Sri Rama Sene president Pramod Mutalik said that the Sene has organized a Hindu advocates convention at Pai Vista Hall at Gandhi Bazar in the city on August 12.
Speaking to reporters here on Thursday, Mutalik said that in order to constitute a legal aid cell from the Sene to assist the Hindus who have been undergoing exploitations and harassment, the Sene has organized the advocates convention in which more than 500 advocates from different parts of the state would take part. The Hindus were being deprived of various facilities in various states including Assam due to Bangladeshi Immigrants. So, they should be expelled immediately. With a special decision at the Parliament, Rama Mandir should be constructed. All these issues would be discussed in the convention, he added.
Mutalik said that there was no relationship or link with the murder of journalist Gauri Lankesh and Sri Rama Sene. But efforts were being made to drag the Sene in the issue. Though the state government has never pointed out any particular organization over the issue, the Sene was being targeted, he said.

B'desh: Lawyer killed in clash between security personnel, followers of Hindu leader
Dhaka, Nov 26: A lawyer was killed on Tuesday during clashes between the security personnel and followers of a Hindu community leader, who was denied bail and sent to jail by a Bangladesh court, according to local media reports.
The victim was identified as Saiful Islam, a 35-year-old assistant public prosecutor and a member of the Chattogram District Bar Association, the Dhaka Tribune newspaper reported.
Citing Dr Nibedita Ghosh, a duty doctor at the emergency department of Chittagong Medical College Hospital, the paper said that six others were injured in the clashes that erupted after Chattogram’s Sixth Metropolitan Magistrate court denied bail to prominent Hindu leader Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari, arrested on sedition charges.
Nazim Uddin Chowdhury, president of the Chittagong Lawyers' Association, said that protesters dragged a lawyer from beneath his chamber and hacked him to death.
As Das was being taken away in a police van, he addressed the crowd through a hand mike, urging them to remain calm.
Around 3 pm, the law enforcement agencies resorted to sound grenades, tear gas shells, and baton charges, dispersing the protesters.
Deputy Commissioner of City Police Liaquat Ali confirmed one death but said they were still investigating the cause.
The Daily Star newspaper reported that at least 10 people, including journalists, were injured during the clash.
