Mangaluru: A Facebook post claiming that “no government has survived after provoking Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat” has sparked outrage online, with many demanding legal action against the author for issuing an indirect threat that could disturb communal harmony.
The controversy follows the registration of a case against RSS leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat at Puttur Rural Police Station for an alleged hate speech delivered during the ‘Deepotsava’ event held at Uppaligadi, Puttur.
In the aftermath, a Facebook user named Vasanth Gilyar posted, “No government has survived after provoking Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat! I hear there’s pressure to arrest Bhattaru. The coastal region will turn fiery. It’s safer not to take the risk of testing his influence. Let coastal Karnataka remain peaceful.”
The post has drawn sharp criticism across social media, with users accusing Gilyar of issuing veiled threats and attempting to intimidate authorities.
One user, Divyath K. Poojary, commented, “People like him don’t respect women. I once attended his speech and walked out halfway. We have nothing to learn from those who preach hatred in the name of religion.”
Another user, Musthafa M F, rebuked Gilyar, saying, “What kind of journalist are you? Learn to respect the law. Do you even know what the Supreme Court has said? Anyone spreading religious hate should be arrested, including the organisers. No one is above the law.”
Yadava Kuntalapady wrote, “If someone is arrested, nothing will happen. If violence breaks out, those who incite it will be directly held responsible. We have honest police officers who will act accordingly.”
Meanwhile, Anand Kumar Halagere commented, “Don’t overthink. Let Hariprasad become Home Minister and watch what happens.”
A user named Sanatan Dharam warned Gilyar, saying, “This post may pose a risk for you for the inflammatory content! Try to modify the post.”
Another user, Prasanna Hegde, wrote provocatively, “If that is the intention of Naveen Soorinje, let it ignite once. Maybe then Hindus will wake up from their slumber.”
Others used the thread to issue further political and communal remarks. Shivappa Gowda referred to it as “Child Kharge’s advance farewell signal,” while Prakash K.T. suggested that if the government mishandled the case, sectors like transport, labour, healthcare, education, and hotels could teach the government a fitting lesson.
In a disturbing comment, Shashikanth B.C. wrote a direct threat mentioning, “First, finish off that boy Priyank. Jai Bhim.”
