Two groups clash after stones pelted at Ganpati idol procession in Mandya


Mandya, Sep 12 (IANS): Two groups clashed in the district on Wednesday night after stones were allegedly pelted at a Ganpati idol immersion procession in Nagamangala town. Some shops and vehicles were set afire following the incident.

According to sources, some youths were taking out a procession for Ganpati idol immersion and when they were passing near a dargah in the town, a few miscreants started pelting stones at them, which subsequently led to the clashes. Police have imposed restrictive orders in the area and are on high alert.

After the incident, people from the Hindu community staged a protest at the local police station, demanding the immediate arrest of those responsible for the stone peltings.

Union Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy condemned the incident and urged the public to maintain peace.

He also hit out at the Congress-led state government over the law and order situation and said that the "despicable incident took place in Nagamangala as a result of over-indulgence and appeasement of a particular community by the party and the state government for political gain".

The JD-S leader further said that the state government should immediately take action to restore peace in the town.

Karnataka SDPI chief Abdul Majeed urged Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to instruct the DGP to deploy additional police forces to restore law and order and take necessary actions. "... Direct relevant authorities to take strict measures against such groups that aim to disrupt communal harmony and tarnish the state's reputation," he said in a post on social media platform X tagging the CM.

    Every year during Muharram or any eid processions, no stone is pelted on processions but for every hindu festivals stones are pelted in the entire country. Facts are enough to debunk the propaganda and the political parties involved in defence of culprits. How come only one community has problem with hindu processions in the entire country while other communities are tolerant abd living in harmony with majority in a SECULAR country. Hopefully the educated youths will change in the coming years and try to be tolerate of multiple culture of our country....

    Demonstration of Tolerance without parallel. Just as it was in the past and will be in future. Probably will get worse with growth of the population and tilting of balance. It is a festive moment. What is the need to pelt stones? If you so feel left out, go and join the procession and enjoy the moment.

    Good Morning Daiji readers. Not a such good news. As usual blaming just for one community only. What was real reason behind the clash that also need to publish. Always 2nd part media publishing. 1st part is most important. Always procession is tense. All procession should be ban for safe side.
