Mangaluru: Biruver Kudla Mangaluru questioned Sharan Pumpwell saying, “Bajrang Dal Leader Sharan Pumpwell is okay with the money of the Muslims. But, why can he not stand the Muslim youth?” they questioned.

On Monday, speaking at a press conference in the city, Biruver Kudla’s Convener Laxmeesh said, “Sharan Pumpwell had once said in a gathering that was done recently that Biruver Kudla is an organization meant for only one caste.  Biruver Kudla is an organization that came into existence to serve society. In 7 years, without seeing caste differences, this organization has offered the help of 3 crore rupees to the poor”, he said.

“Sharan Pumpwell has spoken about the Biruver Kudla in a defamatory manner. Therefore, Biruver Kudla will undertake a legal course against him”, he said.

Biruver Kudla’s Deepu Shettigar addressed the media saying, “With a lease in hand, Sharan Pumpwell has earned by collecting a considerable amount from several Muslim Centres including City Centre. For a man such as him, who is known to fight in the Hindutva cause, the money from Muslim institutions is okay, but Muslim youth are not. How right is this?” he questioned.

From carrying the dead to building houses, we have been serving society. Unlike Sharan Pumpwell who does work to break/divide the society, Biruver Kudla has only done work for people’s welfare in Ballalbagh”, he said.

Kishore Babu, Vidya, Rakesh, Uday Kumar, and others were present during the press conference.

Mumbai, May 5: The BJP has written to the Election Commission of India seeking action against Congress and the opposition leader, Vijay Wadettiwar, for allegedly peddling lies and defaming its Mumbai North Central nominee and ex-26/11 prosecution lawyer Ujjwal Nikam.

Wadettiwar, the leader of the opposition in the Maharashtra legislative assembly, purportedly called Nikam an "anti-national" and accused him of hiding the information that then Maharashtra ATS chief Hemant Karkare wasn't killed by Kasab's bullet during the 26/11 terror attack, but fell to a bullet of a policeman affiliated to RSS.

His allegations were based on the book "Who Killed Karkare" written by retired police officer SM Mushriff.

"As a responsible leader, the opposition leader should desist from making such comments that can help the enemy nation," Nikam said.

Terming Wadettiwar's statements as "false and not based on facts", Mumbai BJP president Ashish Shekar claimed they were aimed at defaming Ujjwal Nikam and inciting emotions.

"We have written to the Election Commission of India seeking action against Wadettiwar who is a star campaigner (of Congress) and also against the Congress party for peddling lies," he added.

Shelar further said (Ajmal) Kasab was sentenced to death for killing innocent people after following a due process of law.

Kasab was the lone terrorist who was captured alive by Mumbai Police during the 26/11 terror attack by Pakistani terrorists in which at least 166 people were killed and several others were injured.

Shelar wondered whether Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray supported the statement made by the Congress leader.

A former special public prosecutor, Nikam had represented the state in high-profile cases like the Mumbai serial bomb blasts and the 2008 Mumbai terror attack.

He is making his political foray from Mumbai North Central seat on a BJP ticket and is pitted against city Congress chief Varsha Gaikwad.
