Bangalore, Mar 10: The wall paintings carrying anti-Christian and anti-Muslim slogans which were found on the city walls, as reported on Daijiworld on Monday March 9 morning, have now disappeared, thanks to the ruling government, which ordered the Bangalore Police Commissioner to take action against this development.
As reported in these columns earlier, Hindu Jagarana Vedike had painted walls unleashing hate campaign against Muslims and Christians on city walls. Archbishop Bernard Moras came down heavily on this development and protested. He even informed the matter to the chief secretary of the chief minister, since CM Yeddyurappa was away from Bangalore on Saturday March 7.
Now Daijiworld has learnt that the chief secretary immediately asked city police commissioner Shanker Bidari to look into the matter and remove such slogans from Bangalore walls. Acting upon the instructions given by the government, Bidari made arrangements to literally whitewash wall paintings in and around the city.
Bidari also called Archbishop Moras and informed about the action. He assured Archbishop that action will be taken if any one attempts to hurt the sentiments of any religion through writings on the wall or any other means.
