Sangh activists in Vitla raid educational workshop alleging religious sermons, provocative speeches
Vitla: Sangh Parivar activists allegedly raided a workshop being held in Adyanadka, of Kepu village, Bantwal taluk, on Saturday evening, accusing the organizers of conducting an Islamic religious convention for SSLC and PUC students in the pretext of a workshop.
A case was also filed against the organizer at the Vitla Police Station, following a complaint that provocative speeches were made at the workshop to incite communal violence.
The Nusratul Islam Young Men’s Association of Vitla has been organizing educational workshops for SSLC and PUC students annually, and a similar workshop was held in Adyanadka on Saturday. Students from local educational institutions attended the workshop.
The activists, objecting to this, raided the hall, reportedly ordering all Hindu students attending the workshop to leave the venue.
Madhava Moolya, a resident of Nekkaremane in Kepu, filed a complaint with the police, accusing the organizers of ‘mentally harassing’ the students by getting them to attend the workshop where provocative speeches to incite communal hatred are made. He has also complained to the police against the head of educational institutions.
The organizers, however, have clarified that, contrary to the allegations against them, no religious sessions were held for students.
“Nusratul Islam Young Men’s Association has been hosting such workshops for 15 years now, when eligible students are given free books and other study materials. The workshops are conducted in Adyanadka to help improve the performance of SSLC and PUC students in their examinations. No religious class is conducted on the occasion,” the organizers have said.
