Pratibha Kulai to add Kathua victim’s name with her daughter’s name
Mangaluru: Congress’ women’s wing leader Pratibha Kulai, who has stronlgy condemned the Katua rape case, wants to add the victims name to her daughter Prithvi.
Speaking to reporters at the DK District Congress Office on Monday, Pratibha Kulai, accompanied by her daughter and other Congress women’s wing members, said "Though I am a Hindu, the present situation is such that I feel ashamed to call myself so in front of the BJP Hindus.
“The Indian women are in great apprehension due to atrocities committed by self-proclaimed BJP and Hindu workers across the country. Mangaluru is also haunted by such elements,” she said.
“I was assaualted when I went for campaigning at Kodikere during the Lok Sabha elections in 2014. My Hindu brothers had passed urine on my feet,” she claimed.
Latha Salyan, Jisinta D’souza, Sakuntala Kamat and others were present.

Neeraj Chopra wins Golden Spike meet
Ostrava (Czech Republic), Jun 24 (PTI): Indian javelin throw superstar Neeraj Chopra on Tuesday clinched the title at the Golden Spike meet in his maiden appearance here, his back-to-back win in a top-class competition.
Fresh from his Paris Diamond League win on June 20, Chopra emerged on top in a nine-man field here though with a modest effort of 85.29m in the World Athletics Continental Tour Gold event.
He had skipped the last two editions of Golden Spike -- an event that his coach Jan Zelezny won nine times in a storied career -- due to fitness issues.
The 27-year-old Chopra has had an impressive season so far, having won his first Diamond League title in two years in Paris after also breaching the elusive 90m mark during his second place finish in Doha DL in May.
