DYFI demands action against BD, Sangh Parivar for making provocative speeches

August 20, 2013

Mangalore, Aug 20: Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) has condemned the protest staged by the Sangha Parivar outside Deputy Commissioner's office on Monday against the cattle theft issue.

In a press release DYFI District President Muneer Katipalla has said that during the protest the leaders had made provocative speech, which could lead to communal tension.

Commenting on the speech made by Bajrang Dal leader Manjunath Mandya, Mr Katipalla said that he had given a call to take law into hands and hence the police department must consider the same seriously and initiate criminal case against the organizers and Mr Manjunath and arrest them.

Mr Katipalla said that the BJP and the Sangh Parivar are creating tension keeping cattle trade as focal point.

“Cattle theft used to happen even when the BJP was in power. The Sangha Parivar, which kept mum during the BJP rule is now making hue and cry after losing power,” he said adding that the whole intention behind these acts is to create drift between Hindus and Muslims.

“The BJP and Sangha members are making provocative speeches almost every other day and at Surathkal one of the leaders has given a call to slay the cattle traders. Though the policemen were present, they did not act at the situation. Mr Muthalik too has made a similar statement. The Congress government at the state is also not doing anything to curb such a trend,” he said predicting that the Sangha is all set to create communal unrest in the region soon.

Lokayukta team arrives at disputed plot; CM likely to get ED summons

Mysuru, Oct 1: The Karnataka Lokayukta team on Tuesday arrived at the disputed plot in Mysuru and began investigation into the MUDA case against CM Siddaramaiah and his wife, news agency ANI reported. Snehamayi Krishna, the complainant in the case was also present with the team.

Sources stated that ED sleuths might issue a notice to CM Siddaramaiah at any time and issue summons to him for questioning. The sleuths are also keenly watching the movements of CM Siddaramaiah’s close associates and relatives, including a cabinet minister in connection with the MUDA scam.

Sources further said that there is a possibility of the ED conducting raids across the state on offices and residences of close associates of CM Siddaramaiah. The ED has also gathered information on bank accounts and financial transactions of CM Siddaramaiah and his associates.

The Directorate of Enforcement (ED) on Monday registered an Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR), equivalent to an FIR by the police, against CM Siddaramaiah over the alleged irregularities in the allotment of 14 sites to his wife Parvathi B.M. by the Mysore Urban Development Authority. The ED registered the case taking cognisance of the FIR registered against the Chief Minister by the Lokayukta police on September 27.

Meanwhile, the Karnataka Lokayukta probing the MUDA case has also expedited the probe. The sleuths led by Mysuru Lokayukta SP T.J. Udesh have visited the controversial land on the outskirts of Mysuru city. The petitioner, Snehamayi Krishna, also accompanied the team.

The move of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s wife to return 14 sites allotted by the MUDA to her has triggered a debate. BJP MLA from Mysuru T.S. Srivatsa stated on Tuesday that the move of CM’s wife is not acceptable. "The two commissioners who colluded in the MUDA scam are roaming freely even today," he said.

"CM Siddaramaiah first claimed that there was no scam at all. Later, he formed a commission and now there is an FIR against him. After committing the mistake, you offer to return the sale deed. The time is up. He will have to tender his resignation and I am sure he won’t be in the position until Dasara festivities," MLA T.S. Srivatsa stated.

T.J. Abraham, one of the petitioners in the MUDA case said, “I had demanded the MUDA commissioner to take back the allotted sites. He had written back saying the process would be initiated. They were waiting for the investigation report."

"CM Siddaramaiah has not approached the division bench or the Supreme Court to challenge the order against him because there is nothing to be challenged. Returning sites is not a big sacrifice. The Chief Minister has lost it," Abraham stated.
