Hundreds of people took out a rally in Mangaluru on Tuesday protesting the incidents of students being asked to remove ‘janivara’ (‘sacred thread’) before the Common Entrance Test (CET) in different parts of the State recently.
Converging under the banner of the Akhila Karnataka Brahmana Maha Sabha (AKBMS), Dakshina Kannada district unit, the protesters marched from Sharavu Maha Ganapathi temple to the mini Vdhana Soudha through Ganapathi High School Road and submitted a memorandum to the government through Assistant Commissioner A.J. Harshevardhana.
Speaking on the occasion, D. Vedavyasa Kamath, Mangaluru City South MLA, said the incidents indicated the anti-Hindu mindset of the Congress government led by Siddaramaiah. He said wearing ‘janivara’ was a part of Indian tradition. Ridiculing it could not be tolerated, Mr. Kamath said, adding there was a specific ritual even to remove ‘janivara.’
Apart from Brahmins, Saraswats, Khatriyas, Vishwakarmas and even Billavas engaged in puja rituals, wear the ‘sacred thread.’
The MLA said the Siddaramaiah government should immediately apologise to the people of Karnataka for the mischief played on Hindus and render justice to the affected students.
Holding placards, the protesters shouted slogans demanding justice to the affected students along the protest march.
