Let the saffron leaders learn a lesson
There are good and bad people in the society. One who does evil has to be punished and its not just to abuse the community that he belongs, stated Mangalore Central Committee president Ali Hassan and convener Aziz Kudroli in a media release.
Its better the saffron leaders learn a lesson from the incident of Savanoor. The truth will prevail. The incident has proved the role of saffron activists who were alleging a specific community for every incidents of cattle-lifting. What will the leaders of saffron wing got to say, when their activists were involved in cattle-lifting? queried Ali Hassan and Aziz Kudroli.
Although the state regime has changed, abusing a specific community has not stopped. It need to be addressed whether it’s due to apathy of state government, failure of law enforcing agencies or saffronizing. They urged the law enforcement agencies to register a case on those for their alleged communalized speeches on August 19 because they are trying to create disharmony amongst people of different faiths.
