Addressing the demonstrators, noted thinker G Rajashekar said that there is no security to common people in Dakshina Kannada district. Some police officials have forgotten their genuine duties and are behaving like criminals. People have lost trust with the authority, he opined.
"Some of the officials have joined hands with fascist agents and they are busy adding fuel to the hatred fury. If officials have been involved in such activities, whom people should complain against injustice?," he questioned. He added that he can become a terrorist only owing to the injustice meted out by the authority or when authorities concerned stand as silent spectator instead of taking actions against atrocities.
Blaming home minister Dr VS Acharya for perpetual attacks carried against minorities in the state, Rajashekar said, "Our home minister has no brains. His responses to such heinous crime has been lukewarm and he is acting like robot man'.
Haji Hamid Kandak said that the outcome of investigation on recent Malegaon bomb blast has unmasked the real face of Sangh Parivar. It has been proved that Bajarang Dal and RSS activists are terrorists and they hate peace in the society.
Social thinker Jayan Malpe, Suresh Bhat Bhakrabailu president Komu Souharda Vedike, P B D'Sa, district president, PUCL, KFD leaders Abdul Azeez, Anwar Saadath also spoke on the occasion.
Earlier the members of Forum for Rights and Dignity discussed the matter with jailor Ishwar Naik. They said that jailor has assured to give protection to the prisoners belonging to minority community in the cell.
