Moodigere: A provocative and at the same time a controversial statement has come from the Taluk Bajrangdal Convenor Avinash. "If Hindu outfits take up machetes then they are capable of eliminating the Muslims here in no time," Avinash said while addressing the VHP and Bajrangdal protestors who staged a Rasta Roko at the Lions Circle here condemning Deepak Rao murder at Katipalla near Mangaluru.
M K Pranesh, MLC who also addressed the protestors alleged that the PFI activists were resorting to killings of Hindu activists and demanded a ban on PFI and SDPI. "The Chief Minister who was touring the state was sowing the seeds of hatred," he further alleged and dubbed the CM as communal.
Former MLA M P Kumaraswamy accused the state government of not releasing even a penny for the development of Moodigere constituency. It is shameful on the part of the CM to inaugurate the projects for which funds were released during the previous BJP rule, he added.
The activists later submitted a memorandum to the Tahsildar.
Taluk Panchayat President K C Ratna, Vice President Savitha Umesh and many others participated in the protest.

Imphal (PTI): The Manipur government on Saturday extended suspension of mobile internet services for two days in seven districts of the state, according to an order.
Amid escalating violence, the administration suspended the services on November 16 for two days to prevent anti-social elements from spreading content that might create law and order problems. It has been extended several times since then.
“The state government after reviewing the prevailing law and order situation has decided to continue suspension of mobile internet services in Imphal West, Imphal East, Kakching, Bishnupur, Thoubal, Churachandpur and Kangpokpi for another two days in public interests," the order issued by the home department said.
Internet services were suspended on November 16 after violence broke out in the state following recovery of bodies of three women and three children.
The Manipur government had lifted the suspension on broadband services on November 19, considering the hardships faced by common people, healthcare facilities, educational institutions and other offices.
