4.5 ft Gauri was more Courageous than 56-inch Chest Modi – PB D’Sa During PFI protest
Mangaluru: “Gauri Lankesh was a Journalist and more over she was a social activist. Many a time she joined us in our agitation. She was very much confident in her work and was more courageous than her father. She was not sitting inside the A/C room and editing news but was writing on any issues without any fear. Gauri was a 4.5 ft tall woman and was more courageous than the56 inch chest Prime Minister Modi”, said President of PUCL P B D’Sa during a protest staged by the Popular Front of India in front of the Gandhi Statue here on September 6.
Addressing the protesters P B D’Sa said, “One day or the other day we will all die. Even Gauri Lankesh was aware that one day she would die. Gauri did not belong to a Muslim or Christian family, she was a Hindu, she was killed by fascists because she was fighting against fascism. As soon as the news of the murder of Gauri Lankesh spread various organizations got down to the streets to demand justice for Gauri’s family. But the BJP and Sangh Parivar did not bother to hold any protest.
Addressing the protesters State committee member of PFI Razak Kemmar said, “We condemn the brutal murder of Gauri Lankesh by the fascists. They can kill Gauri Lankesh but they cannot kill her writings. From some years now, in our country, fascist forces are growing stronger and many progressive thinkers and human rights activists have become their victims. A fascist had even killed Mahatma Gandhi later they killed human rights activist Dabolkar, Pansare, M M Kalburi and now Gauri Lankesh. She became the voice of the voiceless Dalits and the Muslims. PFI is the only organization that has spoken against the RSS.”
Razak further said, “After BJP came to power the Sangh Parivar attacked the human rights activists who raised their voice against discrimination. M M Kalburgi was killed two years ago but the accused in the murder case are still at large. Kalaburgi, Vinayak Baliga, Praveen Poojary and Gauri are also Hindus, why then have they been killed? Amit Shah came to Karnataka and said that he will send CM Siddaramaiah to Jail in the corruption case but he forgot that BJP leaders have already gone to Jail and are out on bail in Corruption cases. The BJP and Sangh Parivar believe in muscle power. We want the murder cases of Kalburgi and Gauri Lankesh to be handed over to the NIA and the accused arrested as soon as possible.”
Secretary of PFI Ashraf A K said, “Gauri Lankesh was a human right activist. In our country, Human right activists are not allowed to live a long life. From Gandhiji to Gauri Lankesh those who have fought for justice have been killed. Our country has been ruled by shameless people. When Ananth Murthy died, anti-social elements celebrated. Now Gauri Lankesh has been murdered and some perverts are celebrating and involved in posting degrading comments on the social media. If one Gauri Lankesh is killed, a 1000 Gauri’s will be born.”
Nawaz Ullal, A M Athaulla, Abdul Jalil, Rafiuddin Kudroli, K Ashraf, Ayesha Bajpe and others were also present.
This looks foolish . Even before getting a small clue as to who killed Gauri .. every one is pouncing on BJP and PM. Modi. Only party or the person who is going to gain because of sympathy wave is Congis and their leader. Why will BJP commit harakiri by killing an innocent journalist ? The protesters like PB Dsa who is supporting communal outfit like PFI are living in a fools paradise! There are reports of a powerfiul politician behind the scene… why cannot this be settled by CBI enquiry as requested by Mr.Indrajit?
Ladies wearing masks and asking them to be killed ….. hilarious!
Disgusting display of hatred and politicization of a tragic killing by minorities!!I understand their hatred towards Modi and BJP. But, this is very low even by their low standards. Nobody in right mind would support the murder of Gowri Lankesh. Whoever did it should face harshest punishment. However, why bring up Modi and BJP into this when investigation hasn’t even started? Also, the current govt in Karnataka is run by Congress party. How come these geniuses are not questioning Congress failure to catch murderers in other incidents?
