Daijiworld Media Network - Madikeri (SP)
Madikeri, Feb 2: Founder of Sriram Sena Pramod Mutalik, who was arrested by the Madikeri police in connection with a provocative speech he allegedly delivered in the district a few years ago, was admitted into the district government hospital here on his arrival from Mangalore. The police contingent along with Mutalik reached Madikeri at about 12 midnight on Saturday January 31. As he complained of ill health, he was admitted to the hospital.
Speaking to reporters on his arrival here, Mutalik warned the BJP that the Hindus, with the support of whom it had risen to power in the state, will desert it to teach it a lesson for arresting leaders of Hindu organizations. "Our organizations has been catapulted to national fame because of the pub attack incident," he claimed. While welcoming the chief minister's statement against pub culture, he said that the Sena will ensure that the revellers will not be able to celebrate Valentines Day scheduled on February 14..
Mutalik is scheduled to be produced in the civil court in Virajpet on Monday February 2, in relation with a case pertaining to the provocative speech allegedly delivered him at the Hindu Samajotsav held in Gonippal. Mutalik had failed to appear in the Virajpet court even after a warrant was issued against him in the case. The district policemen who went to Mangalore immediately upon learning about his arrest, succeeded in catching hold of him upon his release on bail there.
Mutalik's advocate R D Kulkarni in the meantime, expressed the confidence that the Virajpet court will release Mutalik on bail. "The case here is not very strong. As Sunday happens to be weekly off, he will be produced in the civil court on Monday. At that time, his bail application will be moved," he explained.
