Mangalore: Suresh Bhat Bakrabail, President of Karnataka Komu Souharda(KKS) Vedike of DK district on Friday at a Press meet, condemned the act of a miscreant who came on a motor-bicycle and smeared cow-dung mess days ago on the face of a University College lecturer Pattabhirama Somayaji standing near a hotel after a lunch.
He asked such perpetrators of violence or mischief, to take to democratic ways, as the condemned act was an attack on all progressive thinkers.
It was an uncivilized action by fascist forces, miffed with Somayaji’s views on cow slaughter. But the hypocrisy over holy cows(by BJP and other units) had been exposed time and again, Bakrabail volunteered to say.
He added that an appeal to punish those behind the foolish act was made to DC and CPC in city.
P.B. D’Sa of PUCL also spoke to endorse Bakrabail’s sentiments. He pointed out that such groups (Bajrang Dal-Ram Sena) worked in Attavara and Pumpwell areas. They form a communal Mafia, he cautioned. The police had no guts to arrest them, either, he told a press meet.
