BENGALURU RIOTS 2020

On August 11, Naveen, nephew of Congress leader and a present MLA, R Akhanda Srinivasa Murthy, posted an “offensive post” about Prophet Mohammed, which hurt the religious sentiments of the Islamic community. Soon after the post went viral, hundreds of ‘peaceful’ people went on a rampage. The mob attacked DJ Halli police station, set ablaze vehicles, and destroyed the furniture. Within an hour, protestors set ablaze around 200 - 250 police and private vehicles, smashed the belongings of MLA Murthy and his relatives. An ATM was smashed into pieces. The protestors blocked fire brigade to enter the area. It is obvious that this cannot happen without prior planning. It requires high coordination. Protestors tried to lodge an FIR against Naveen but were reportedly denied. They then started shouting slogans, pelting stones and torching vehicles near the KG Halli police station.

Two hours after the protest, local police authorities resorted to lathi-charge, lobbed tear gas shells, and later opened fire to control the violent protest.There were 3 deaths reported in aftermath of the riots. Naveen, the accused, removed the post from his Facebook account and claimed that his account was hacked.

The police were later given a “freehand” to control the ‘peaceful’ of violent attacks that lasted till early morning. The case has been handed over to a magisterial investigation into the riots by a sitting judge.  On the lines of UP government, this govt has taken a stand of making the protestors pay for the destruction of govt property. Many protesters were from poor background, peaceful and were from outside Bengaluru. The citizens’ forum consisted of eminent personalities conducted an independent enquiry and found that the riots were preplanned. Many of the rioters were local and targeted those Hindu houses which were in ‘peaceful’ majority area.

Fingers are getting raised at Progressive Front of India (PFI) as a force behind these riots. PFI was started in Kerala from National Development Front in 2006. Thereafter many fronts from other states merged in it - Karnataka Forum for Dignity of Karnataka some other fronts and forums from Tamil Nadu, Manipur, Andhra Pradesh, Goa Rajasthan and West Bengal to name a few. PFI actively advocates Muslim reservations, personal law courts for Muslims, cause of Dalits, Muslims and tribals, and scholarships to deprived Muslim students. The slogan of PFI is Naya Karavan: Naya Hindustan. It has found embroiled many controversies including murders of RSS, ABVP activists and and CPI (M) activists (as claimed by CPI (M)) and has connections with Students Islamic Movement of India which is now banned. PFI is the mother body of Social Democratic Party of India. SDPI is a political party founded in 2009 at New Delhi. This party is against CAA, wanted to built babri mashid in 2016 was on the forefront of stir against Mathrubhoomi media.

Naveen is a 34 year nephew of Congress MLA R Akhanda Srinivas Murthy and trying to become popular. He is ambitious and placing himself as prospective MLA candidate in the next Karnataka Assy elections. He had distributed sweets after Bhumi poojan of Ayodhya Ram temple on 05^th Aug and also rejoiced when Rahat Indori expired.

 

Tailpiece – For last 6 yrs India has witnessed almost nil terror attacks but has witnessed concerted planned violent protests allegedly fanned by urban naxals, left leaning intelligentsia and persons having close affinity with Congress and some regional parties. Be it CAA, anti NEET and JEE exams in Septermber 2020, NRC, lynchings, creating stir out of nothing like Vemula suicide case or riots in Jamia, JNU and left leaning institutions. Nation loving citizens should be vigilant enough to see through orchestrations of these people and should be able to thwart and restrict their design to destroy the fabric of India and to bring bad name to the government. Take the case of Delhi riots 2020 it seems that the riots were pre planned and the perpetrators used Mr Kapil Mishra so that the ir conspiracy remains hidden and people blame Mr Mishra (a hindu) for the riots, likewise here also the riots were preplanned and used the act of Mr Naveen so that people again blame Naveen (a hindu) and the real planners get shielded from the public eye.  They are more dangerous than terrorists, as they indulge in antinational activities from within the fabric of our Nation donning civil clothes and feigning as intellectuals writers professors and activists.
