Mangaluru : The arrest of the National Secretary of Hindu Vidhidnya Parishad Adv. Sanjiv Punalekar and RTI activist of Parishad Vikram Bhave by CBI in the case of the killing of Dr. Narendra Dabholkar is strongly Condemnable said Hindu Janajagruti members in Mangaluru.

To arrest Adv. Sanjiv Punalekar and Vikram Bhave when the pro-Hindutva Government is in power smacks of conspiracy behind such an action.

The CBI has bowed before the demand of the progressives. It is very serious to arrest Adv. Sanjiv Punalekar who proved the falsehood of saffron terrorism behind Malgaon explosion case, filed several Public Interest Litigations. We feel that Adv. Sanjiv Punalekar who performs seva of society, the Nation and Dharma without any expectations is innocent. Many social activists in Mangaluru, patriots, devout Hindu organisations and advocates have conveyed the support to Adv. Sanjiv Punalekar.
