Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) will stage a stir shouting ‘Jai Sri Ram’ in front of all Police stations in City police Commissionerate limits on Monday, demanding of cases registered against Bajrang Dal leader Sharan Pumpwell, MLAs, and leaders of the BJP.
If the case registered against the leaders was not withdrawn within a week, then the party will launch a massive protest across the state, BJP District President Sathish Kumpala warned giving a deadline.
VHP Dakshina Kannada District Secretary Shivanand Mendon told media persons that the Police have registered a case against MLAs D Vedavyas Kamath, Y Bharath Shetty, VHP leader Sharan Pumpwell, Corporators Sandeep Garodi and Bharath Kumar for seeking action against the teacher, who allegedly insulted Hindu Gods at St Gerosa English Higher Primary School.
MLA Vedavyas Kamath visited the school after parents requested him. They had shouted Jai Sri Ram outside the school campus, and it is not an anti-national activity. The MLA, parents and students demanded action against the teacher, who spoke against Hindu Gods derogatorily, and hurt the sentiments of Hindus. However, the police have booked a case against the MLAs and leaders under non-bailable sections of the IPC, for shouting Jai Sri Ram. Sharan Pumpwell and Bharath Shetty were not at the spot near the school, Mendon said.
