Udupi, Mar 13: "Where are MPs Nalin Kumar Kateel and Shobha Karandlaje and Karkala MLA Sunil Kumar, who give speeches projecting them as Hindu leaders and also say that they will set the fire on district, when there are atrocities against Hindus in the undivided district of Dakshina Kannada," questioned Deepak Kotian, district Youth Congress president.
Kotian was expressing his outrage against BJP MPs and MLAs who did not give any statement in favour of the civic worker, who was assaulted in the city on Friday by brothers of president of the BJP minority cell.

He further said, "If the person who assaulted was a Muslim belonging to Congress or any other political party, these leaders of BJP would have given communally sensitive statements by now. However, a Hindu civic worker was attacked by brothers of BJP minority cell and the leaders of BJP, instead of searching who assaulted whom, they should say that wrong doers should be punished. BJP leaders who always bring friction between communities should understand this fact at least now."
"The service of civic workers who strive to keep the city clean is appreciable. Assault on civic worker is condemnable. The culprits should be punished severely. These types of incidents should not be repeated," said Kotian in a press release.
