Several Muslim functionaries of the governing Congress’s minority unit in Dakshina Kannada stop en masse Thursday, accusing the Siddaramaiah authorities of negligence and failing to guard the group amid a spate of latest revenge killings. Hours later, the federal government introduced a specialised Communal Violence Control Force (CVCF) to curb tensions in the coastal area that features Mangaluru, and transferred two prime cops. The resignations had been introduced throughout an emergency assembly in Bolar, Mangaluru. Party staff stormed the stage, demanding justice for Abdul Rahman, secretary of a mosque in Kolathamajalu space, who was brutally murdered just lately. KPCC basic secretary MS Mohammed, DK district Congress minority unit president Shahul Hameed and different seniors had been current on the assembly, which descended into chaos. Suhail Kandak, who was state secretary in the Youth Congress, was the primary to step down, triggering a series response and sending a powerful message to the Congress excessive command in addition to the state authorities. Amid the uproar, Siddaramaiah issued a stern warning from Bengaluru, “We will take action as per law against anyone involved, irrespective of how influential that person is. No one is above the law.” Late Thursday, the federal government transferred Mangaluru City police commissioner Anupam Agarwal & Dakshina Kannada SP Yateesh N to bolster the message that it was severe about curbing violence.
