Mangaluru : An incident wherein Sangh Parivar activists assaulted a young woman right in the presence of the police, has been reported from Pilikula Nisargadhama near Vamanjoor on the outskirts of the city on January 2, Tuesday.
The Sangh Parivar activists who had arrived at the spot on gathering information that students of a college located on the outskirts of the city were making merry at the Pilikula Nisargadhama, reportedly chased a young pair and took them to task.
By the time the police rushed to the spot and took the young pair to custody, a Sangh Parivar activist reportedly assaulted the woman in front of the cops themselves.. The video clipping of the same has now gone viral on social networking sites.
There is widespread anguish against the assault on the young woman by the Parivar activists right in the presence of the police. There is also a grouse among members of the general public that the police have failed to launch a crack down on the vigilante forces in the Sangh Parivar outfits who have been unleashing fear through their immoral policing since the past few days.

CM Siddaramaiah to withdraw all cases against pro-Kannada activists
Bengaluru, Jan 27 (PTI): Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah announced on Monday that all cases registered against pro-Kannada activists will be withdrawn.
The CM was addressing a gathering at the unveiling of the 25-feet-tall bronze statue of Bhuvaneshwari, the goddess who represents the Karnataka state identity, on the premises of the Vidhana Soudha.
The statue of Bhuvaneshwari, which was sculpted at an approximate cost of Rs 21.24 crore is 41-feet-tall including the pedestal, and weighs around 31.5 tonne.

While speaking at the event, although he acknowledged that one must love and embrace all languages, the CM said, in Karnataka, Kannadigas should follow the culture of speaking and interacting with “their brothers and other speakers” in Kannada.
“Instead of speaking incorrectly in other languages, we should speak our own language. In all our neighbouring states, the language spoken by the people of the respective state is sovereign. This should be practiced here, too,” said Siddaramaiah.
Insisting that everyone in the state should develop respect for the Kannada language, culture and art, the CM called for more learning and teaching of reading and writing Kannada.
“Only then will Kannada become the sovereign language,” he added.
