Gauri Lankesh murder case : Hindu Janajagruti Samiti members shout slogans in favour of accused
Bengaluru, September 5: Members of the Hindu Janajagruti Samiti staged a protest in the city on Wednesday alleging that the image of the Sanatan Sanstha is being tarnished in the murder case of journalist Gauri Lankesh and shouted slogans in favour of arrested accused in the case Parashuram Waghmore.
The agitators who took out a protest march from Bannappa Park to Freedom Park, shouted slogans in favour of arrested Amol Kale, Manohar Yadave, Parashuram Waghmore, KT Naveen alias Hotte Manja and others along the roads.
Addressing the agitators, Samiti president Mohan Gowda said that the SIT police have got the statements as they wanted by torturing them and now, decided to take action against them under the Karnataka Control of Organised Crimes Act. All the 14 arrested were the activists of Hindu organizations. But none of them were from Sanatan Sanstha or Hindu Janajagruti Samiti. Even then, the names of those organizations have been linking to the crime, he alleged.
