Mangalore: 'Mega Fight' turns into mega chaos between BJP, Cong members


Mangalore: 'Mega Fight' turns into mega chaos between BJP, Cong members

Manju Neereshwallya
Daijiworld Media Network - Mangalore (DV)

Mangalore, Mar 27: An open discussion between leaders of different parties organized by Kannada news channel at Nehru Maidan here on Thursday March 27 turned chaotic after a fight broke out between Congress and BJP activists following a question on RSS chief Dr Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat.

The 'Mega Fight' programme was organized by Suvarna News channel. Ramanath Rai from Congress, Capt Ganesh Karnik from BJP, M R Vasudeva from AAP and Yadav Shetty from CPI (M) participated in the debate.

After the leaders spoke, the session was thrown open for questions from the audience. One by one, members from different parties and the public asked questions. The first three questions and answers went on smoothly.

Trouble erupted at the fourth question, reportedly asked by an SDPI activist. Addressing his question to Ramanath Rai, he asked, "You have been promising to arrest Kalladka Bhat but so far have not taken any action. You are cheating the minorities."

At this, Congress and BJP started shouting slogans and one person, reportedly from the Bajrang Dal, demanded to know why he wanted to bring religious issues into a political debate. Congress members came to the defense of the SDPI member and said he had a right to ask the question. This led to further arguments, and chaos and confusion broke out in no time. A person said to be from SDPI, picked up a handful of mud and threw at another person's face which further escalated the situation.

The police rushed to control the mob and resorted to lathi charge.

Finally, the programme was called off and after much exchange of words and physical brawl, the mob dispersed.

    Does this channel owned by congress, as i could see only cong elections add in it. Like this news channel people become one sided, then it is a threat to democracy. Looks like responsible citizens should take up this and closed down all single sided media's

    This election result will create lots of hardship to the commoners and the poor class.
    These dirty politicians will poison the minds of the innocent people for their election benefits and in the end the citizens have to pay for the divide created in the society by these politicians.

    People get upset if you ask about Aseemanand, Pragya Sadhvi, and Col.Purohit all are in Jail.
    Same case here, people asked about Bhatt and they claim it is a religious question.
    In the recent news from SIT,Col.Purohit has revealed of stealing 60 Kgs of RDS from Army Camps and then some was used for making Bombs and the rest was used to implicate innocent Muslims who were arrested mostly in Gujarat state. The RSS party has a history of killing Gandhi and then denying involvement and you will find them breaking the law every day.
    The main agenda of BJP is to amend the Indian constitution and change the Indian tricolor Flag.

    I was there at the debate program. The main cause for the incident is the poor organizing of the event by Suvarna News. Last night's TV9 program went smoothly without any chaos. In Suvarna News program, they used only 1 small speaker-box, which wasn't able to reach to all people. We weren't able to listen to what the leaders were speaking. Only the supporters jai jai jai was loud. So, begins the drama between BJP and Congress

    This is how Ramanath Rai and Kalladka Bhat helping each other.
    I am sure the guy thrown mud is not from SDPI but he brought by Congress to create trouble to evade questions raised by SDPI

    How can its communal sensitive matter when muslims issues kept in front of ruling party minister?. Indian constitution has given rights to all religions to live, practice and propagate their beliefs. Its against to hurt others faith. When muslims whos forefathers fought for this nations freedom are humiliated, their faiths are hurt, its every peace loving people to bring these matters in front of the future rulers.
    SDPI cadres did great work by asking it directly. If you work for our betterment we wll vote for you or else we will bring an alternative. SDPI knows history .. insha Allah it will make history with due course of time.

A person said to be from SDPI, picked up a handful of mud and threw at another person's face which further escalated the situation most important Paragraph in the news report .If I was the organiser of the Event would have asked the Participants to First Give questions in writing ,would have Filtered the questions and would have discussed with the Participants what all they want to answer and would have discarded the rest .For the Fire to Break out you need 1. Oxygen 2. Fuel and 3 .source of ignition If all 3 come together Fire will break out .Here also Cummunal Fire broke out becasue you had 1. large gathering of both religions 2. Source of ingnition is a spark of question on Religious leader and then 3. Further agravation by both Bajrang dal and Congress which acts as Oxygen.Thank God it ended peacefully
