Seeks ban on Popular Front of India, Karnataka Forum for Dignity

Karwar: BJP workers staged a protest in front of the deputy commissioner’s office here, on Wednesday, condemning the murder of BJP and RSS worker Rudresh in Bengaluru.

Submitting a memorandum to the Governor through Additional Deputy Commissioner H Prasanna, BJP workers lamented that the State government has not shown interest to seriously investigate the cases of assault on more than 15 Hindu leaders in the State in last two years. CBI probe should be ordered into all cases of attack on Hindu activists, police officials who failed to prevent such repeated attacks should be suspended from service, while Popular Front of India (PFI) and Karnataka Forum Dignity (KFD) organisations should be banned, they demanded.

More than five Hindu activists were attacked in Bengaluru in last one year, but the government has not taken the issue seriously. PFI and KFD are reportedly behind such acts, especially after Chief Minister Siddaramaiah gave a call for fight against Hindu organisations, they charged. The State government is showing negligence in such cases, and its  actions looks like aimed at protecting the culprits,  business or personal angles are being given to these cases. Governor should direct the government to arrest the guilty and to prevent such attacks in future, they said.
