Daijiworld Media Network - Udupi (SP)

Udupi, Oct 6: Condemning the raid by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee president D K Shivakumar, Congress workers under the aegis of the district Congress committee here, staged a protest here on Tuesday.

The Congress activists registered their anger by blocking Ajjarkad main road. They raised slogans against the BJP government, CBI and the Enforcement Directorate. They reiterated that Shivakumar, who is rightly called 'Kanakapura Bande', is as solid as the rock of Kanakapura who cannot be shaken.

Hundreds of Congress workers participated in the protest. Congress leader Harish Kini challenged the CBI to show its might by ensuring justice to Paresh Mesta's family. He advised them to investigate the Paresh Mesta case and see that justice is done.

Speaking at the protest, Kishan Hegde Kolkebail, general secretary of DCC said, "We will support DK Shivakumar till the last drop of blood in our body. Why did the CBI not arrest Yediyurappa's son as he is also involved in several scandals. BJP government should be ashamed for resorting to cunning political manoeuvres".

Veronica Cornelio, senior leader said, "Why is the BJP silent regarding the scams of its leaders? It is involved in blaming the Congress alone. Why is the BJP failing at controlling the rising rape cases in the country? she questioned.

Prakhyath Shetty, Ramesh Kanchan, Vijay Poojary, Yathish Karkera, Geetha Wagle, Roshni Olivera, Abdul Azeez, Prabhakar Achary, Naveen Chandra Shetty, Jyothi Hebbar, Chandrika Shetty, Krishnamurthy Acharya, Panchayat Raj members and DK Shivakumar fan club members were present.

Over 20 Congress leaders who were protesting by blocking the road were arrested by the police.

    leaders and parties.

    "The raids which were carried out at different locations owned by DK Shivakumar were just tactics used by BJP to divert the mind of the public. There was no genuine reason behind the raid. We challenge chief minister Yediyurappa to order a CBI probe against his son and relatives for receiving Rs 17 crore kickbacks and also against the Centre for their scam of Rs 2,000 crore in the name of coronavirus. Why there is no CBI probe even when there is a proof? BJP is not quite courageous when it comes to allowing CBI probe into the unearthing corruption caused by the BJP.".

    "A channel that exposed Yediyurappa’s son for receiving kickbacks, was banned. Protection is being given out to all those who support the BJP government and those who speak out against them are being penalised.

    It will be nice if all these central Agencies are deputed to UP so that they can investigate all the Rape cases occuring with Impunity and put an end to this menace in UP.

    High time to wind up the CBI as it has lost all the Trust and confidence of the people and build up a Monument in its memory in Delhi for its shady existence and having lost all its relevance and credibility.
