Mangaluru: The government has withdrawn the security and bodyguards given to me. The BJP state president is behind this. Also, in order to keep my mouth shut, there has been an effort for two to three years in a row, Satyajit Surathkal, the leader of D.K. District Hindu Jagran Forum, alleged in the press conference.

Satayajit stated that he had brought up the matter with the Home Minister and Minister Shobha Karandlaje. He warned that the BJP state president and his team will be held directly responsible if any harm comes to him.

The government had been providing security to satyajit through a gunman for the past 16 years, but in a recent letter, he was ordered to pay for his own security personnel. He alleged that a BJP leader had offered to pay for his security in exchange for his silence, but he refused.

Dakshina Kannada District Hindu Jagarana Vedike leaders Raviraj B.C. Road, Nagesh, and others were present at the press conference in support of Satyajit.
