Stopping chariot in Kabaka a bid to create tension: BJP
Bharatiya Janata Party MLAs from the region will shortly call on Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai and reiterate the need to ban Popular Front of India (PFI) and its political arm, Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI), said Mangaluru City North MLA Y. Bharath Shetty here on Tuesday. Talking to reporters here, Dr. Shetty said that he and the other BJP MLAs from the region have in the past met Mr. Bommai several times when he was the Home Minister and spoken about the need to impose a ban on PFI and SDPI. “We will shortly meet Mr. Bommai and request him to fast track the process. There is a need to build a water-tight case against PFI and SDPI,” he said. The Union government has been building a dossier against PFI, he added. Stalling the movement of Swatantrotsava Ratha of Kabaka Gram Panchayat on Sunday as a cut-out on the vehicle had the photo of Veer Savarkar, Dr. Shetty said, was nothing but an attempt to create communal tension in the area. All the seven BJP MLAs are committed to ensuring development of the district and they will not tolerate any attempt to disturb peace.
