BJP activists protest against arrest of Hindutva activist in Mysuru
The HinduScores of BJP workers and leaders staged a demonstration in the city on Wednesday condemning the Congress government in State for arresting a Hindutva activist in connection with violence in 1992 following the demolition of Babri Masjid in Ayodhya. The arrest of the activist Srikant Poojary was described by the BJP as an ‘’act of appeasement of the minorities’’. Hariprasad cautioning of a ‘Godhra-like incident’ was flayed by the BJP workers who sought his arrest for issuing incendiary statements. Srivatsa, who addressed the BJP workers near Gandhi Square, accused Chief Minister Siddaramaiah of ‘anti-Hindu’’ actions and ‘appeasement’ of Muslims. Another leader Vasanth Kumar challenged that Siddaramaiah government to arrest all BJP workers who had taken part in the Ramajanmabhoomi movement and accused the Congress of committing ‘’atrocities against the Hindus in pursuit of vote bank politics’’.
