Mangaluru, 20 Feb 2015: Swami Rajashekaranand of Vajradehi mutt, here who was also the instrumental in making entrepreneur Vijay Vittal Shetty as the president of VHP Samajotsav slammed the district in-charge minister Ramanath Rai saying he wants votes of only minorities that led to the arrest of activists of Hindu communal outfits.

Swami Rajashekaranand was addressing the flagging-off ceremony of bike rally that was held on Thursday February 19, ahead of Virat Hindu Samajotsav to be held at Nehru maidan here on Sunday March 1 in commemoration of VHP’s golden jubilee.

 

 
‘The district-in-charge minister wants only the votes of minorities. He does not want the votes of Hindus. If anyone declares himself as a Hindu, he is criticized. When the Hindu activists work to uphold the culture they are targeted but when organizations like PFI who hurl slogans like ’Pakistan Zindabad,’ no legal action is taken and no arrests made, said Swami Rajashekaranand.

MP Nalin Kumar also addressed the gathering and flagged-off the rally by handing over the flag to Bajrangdal leader Sharan Pumpwell.

The bike Rally

The bike rally began from Hindu Samajotsava office at Bunts Hostel and passed through Mallikatta, Lower Bendore, Balmatta, Hampankatta, State Bank, Central Market, Car Street, Lady Hill, before culminating at Bunts Hostel.

As usual it was proved that when you have the muscle power you can violate the law. Like the earlier instances, the workers of Hindu outfits were not wearing the helmets and the police who harrass the public for the fine were seen escorting the rally.
