Kasargod, Nov 15:  Two persons were killed and several others including 13 policemen suffered injuries during the Muslim League Convention on Sunday November 15.

While Shafique died after police opened fire, Asher was killed in a stabbing incident. Badiyadka station sub-inspector C B Mathew is one of the injured policemen.

Tension prevailed in the region after members of the Muslim League allegedly damaged a few BJP and CPM flags while taking out a bike rally as a part of the convention. 



 

When irked BJP and CPM activists started quarrelling with the Muslim League members, police intervened and caned them. Then they fired 12 rounds of teargas shells and fired in the air. 

As the unruly mob could not be controlled, the police opened fire at the crowd killing Shafique.

Soon afterwards, a mob stabbed Asher in the back as he was about to board a bus to Karandakkad at Kasargod bus stand.

    Kasararagod is not like Mangalore. The place is not as communal as Mangalore. The activist of CPI and DYFI includes equal number of Hindus, Muslims & Christians. The fight here is between political parties. Not between religions. BJP and saffron brigade has some activists here in places like Manjeshwar, Koodlu & Kumbla, but it has no voice in state assembly.

    In Kerala assembly there is not even one MLA from BJP. So You Mangaloreans do not know the situation here. So its better if you not comment on the issues you are unaware of. There are many cases of fighting a Muslim candidate against Muslim league in elections. People here don’t just judge on religion of a person. I feel Kasaragod is much secure for people of all religions than religiously divided Mangalore.

    I dont know when we are going to learn. When are we going to stop violence, hatred, etc. Every now and then there is harthal and violence in Kasaragod. Really feeling very sad seeing the state of affairs of my hometown. I totally agree with the comments of Shahnawaz Kukkikatte and Krishna Prakash.

    Dear Brothers, There are more than 100 major religions in this world now and more than 1 million Gods from the time of man attaining intelligence. Please can someone explain to me - why should we kill/maim or injure another human being just because he or she believes in some other GOD!.

    League is hectically trying to strengthen its base & so has been engaged in cheap activities as this. What was need for calling for bike rally, when administration had not permited. Morever, it is now weiling its sword in both LDF & Hindu forces. LDF has not permitted the bike rally to avoid any disturbances, & League has played with the issue.

    One human life, whether they belong to any religion or no religion, is very precious. We are now reaping the aftermath of injecting religion into politics. Ksargode is perhaps the most fertile ground for political fights and bandh.

    Of late Kasaragod is in the news for unwanted reasons. Both the communities are dragger drawn on each other. Responsible people should do the search light to stop these nuissance and must work for communual harmory. Political party's interests must be defeated and should not be given the opportunity to fish in the troubled water. Kasaragod is neighbouring place to our Dakshina Kannada district and the people of DK must see the the spoiled beans doesnot spill in our soil and spread like a weed. These notions and concepts must be stopped from entering our home town and all communities must work together for establishing enduring peace. My dear muslim and hindu brothers, please learn and try to call spade a spade and be truthful and responsible citizen of our country. Dont be biased in wrting your comments. I will advocate death penalty for the trouble creators, even if they are from my community, from my family or my brothers or my sons. Thats it.

    hhey folks..,,trouble started when miscreants threw stones at procession near amey said to be a bajrang dal stronghold,later irated mobs started vandalising properties and went on rampage,here both league and B.D are set to be blamed along with the police who had intelligence report that trouble will happen and they were about close to hundreds and reserve police was called for only after d climax and movie was over...,,this was in continuation to the trouble which happened a night befor the eid between public and police where police had to use granades and teargas..,everyone  knew something or other is gonna happen and police were not prepared and and badiyadka S.I mathew is battling for life in K.M.C..,

    2 CPM members were stabbed in kumble late night yesterday by league cadres..,,investigations should also go to the transfer of dynamic D.Y.S.p gafoor who was transfered for using iron fist during eid night violence..,,,every1 knws if he was there this incident would not 've occured.B.J.P is trying to take the advantage of  the situation by making it communal, that is what league wants after the league cadres started moving to CPM, league along with B.J.P wanted a communal clash in kasargod to strengten the party base.

    Why Muslim league is following BJP culture we don't understand. BJP is responsible for violent behaviour of changed politics in India, they have started this culture with rathyatra, hindutva, attacks on religious place etc. One can beccome a true Indian by adopting BHARTIYATA instead of hindutva.

    Dear Shahnawaz, I appreciate and salute your honesty. I only wish everybody did the same so we can build a better, more responsible society. Unfortunately, in today's world, most of us, including the media and news portals are taking sides based on religion or political parties and blaming the other side. Let's all use our logic and work towards a better society.

    Mr Shankar, Dubai. I agree with you. Here the muslim league activists are the ones who initiated trouble. These goons must be punished and sent to jail for disturbing peace and communual harmony. No body is above law. Law should be applied equally to the members of all communities. Outlaws and trouble mongers have no place in civilized society. Peace and harmony must prevail and authorities must not be biased in dealing with such incidents.
