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.
