Before the Jatha started on its walk, leader Kabirananda stated that it was only when Sowjanya was murder and the finger suspicion pointed to the family members of Dr. Heggade, that all hell broke loose and sufferers from other families in the 30 years also demanded that those cases been investigated by CBI.

We would not rest Swami Kabirananda rorad until justices totally done to all the suffering families which were neither helped by the police nor taking care by the govt. All these years. The Jatha, he added, would created sallen social consciousness among the common people of DK District to put the culprits in jail for the colossal harm done to the society in around a holy place like Dharmasthala.

The Jatha will end up in Mangalore with mass rally of thousands of hurt people, he concluded.

The CPI (M) leader  Vasanth Achary told the crowds gathered at the march that his Party has been always forefront of the straggle for the rights of living of all common people.
