Kundapur, Mar 13: Auto drivers along with locals on Tuesday March 12 protested near Koteshwar after a differently-abled auto driver was attacked for no apparent reason.

As per the information obtained, 'Anna Santharpane' offering was held on behalf of Ranganath Bhat of Koteshwar at Pattabhiramachandra temple, to which the Anand Pai, a physically challenged driver was also invited.

Anand has been earning his living by running his auto in Koteshwar Car Street. On being invited, he came along with his mother and wife to the temple and he had parked his auto opposite to Layan Mantap.

Meanwhile, a nearby shop owner, along with his two sons appoached Anand Pai, and allegedly used abusive words and even attacked him in front of his wife and mother.

Angered by this, locals along with hundreds of auto drivers of three stands in Koteshwar condemned the incident and protested in front of the temple. They demanded that the shop owner and his sons come to the spot and tender a public apology to the driver.

Kundapur police arrived at the spot and brought the situation under control.

    Kavita, Mangalore, I dont really think Anand Pai is taking advantage! The act of so called resposible, religious, Swami bhakthas (Father and sons/son?)of Koteshwar is condemnable. I feel these kind of acts will continue in Koteshwar. This is high time for people of Koteshwar to stand strong and protest against such acts. Anand has done a great job though being physically disabled.

    Before commenting or blaming the shop owner, why dont you think that without reason he & his sons will not do something like this. Anand Pai is taking advantage....???

    Whether it is BJP or KJP or Congress,here political scenario do not come in between.Here comes humanity,which people lacks nowadays.Human being started becoming brutes/animals and indulging in all sorts of unwarranted activities like fighting for no reason,robbing,raping,doing drug mafia business etc.Now people think that money is everything.No humanity,no compassion,no consideration,no pity,no sympathy.All these qualities/cultures dived in to root deep level in front of money.I don't know whether people brought money when they born or will they take back when they go back along with them?At the cost of our culture,people became vultures.Shame on you.

    What they got out of attacking differently-abled auto driver.Let them please keep it in mind that only because of these underprivileged,poor,differently abled,uneducated segments of the society so called rich/business people are placed in high status/position whatever they are today,wherever they are?They are existing only because of those poor people.If they got any kind of self respect,let them come forward and tender their unconditional apology for their misdeeds.

    This is really bad. Not at all acceptable. Humanity, courtesy and respect are more important than wealth and status. Money comes and money goes. We are also not permanent on this earth and we do not carry our money when we die and leave this world. Most of the people don't realise this. People fight and kill one another over money, power, caste, creed, politics and so on. Very sad!

    This is no BJP, KJP or Congress issue. Need not politicize it. This has to do with lack of true spirituality in the hearts of so called religious people. There is no suprise if Jeevan and Nagesh Maam blame even Italian Madam for this!
