If Nalin Sets District on Fire, Congress will Douse it – Mithun Rai
Mangaluru: “If MP Nalin Kumar Kateel Sets the District on Fire, Congress will Douse it” said the president of the Youth Congress during a protest held in front of the DC office here on January 2 against the controversial inciting speech by MP Nalin Kumar Kateel of setting Dakshina Kannada on fire if killers of Karthik Raj are not arrested within 10 days.
Addressing the protesters Mithun Rai said, “BJP has given two shocking news to the people of DK and the country on the first day of the New year. Dakshina Kannada is a peace loving district and people here live in peace, harmony and unity. But MP Nalin Kumar Kateel has delivered an inciting speech and attempted to create communal violence. Karthik Raj was an innocent youth, he was killed when he was on his morning walk. In this connection, the BJP staged a protest in front of the Konaje police station and MP Nalin Kumar delivered an inciting speech and said, if the killers of Karthik Raj will not be arrested we will set the district on fire. BJP is always trying to create communal violence. Nalin has once again shown his political gimmick through his speech. Every time when the election is nearing BJP is trying to create communal violence which is the habbit of the people in the BJP”.
Mithun further said, “Nalin is trying to gain political mileage by fighting against the Yettinahole project and at the same time he is delivering inciting speech and threatening to set the district on fire. This shows the double standard of Nalin Kumar. We have discussed Karthik Raj’s murder case with the police officers for a fair investigation. When Vinayak Baliga was murdered Nalin did not raise voice, even many innocent youths were killed and there was no protest nor any comments from Nalin. When the BJP was in power and Palemar was the district minister in-charge, advocate Preetham was kidnapped but till date, there is no information whether he is alive or dead. Why did Nalin not raise voice against Preetham’s kidnap? Fajir Gram Panchayat member Seetharam Shetty was shocked to hear the speech of Nalin and he too has joined hands with us to file the FIR against Nalin at the Konaje police station. Nalin even said that terrorists come from Kerala to Ullal but why did he not file a complaint against the terrorists?”.
Mithun also said, “In the coming days the BJP may create communal violence in the district. For the vote bank, the BJP is trying to create communal violence. If the BJP will set the district on fire, congress will douse the fire. We warn the BJP leaders not to create communal politics. DK is an intellectuals city and they will not tolerate any communal violence in the coming days the people of the district will teach a befitting lesson to the BJP.
Mithun also stressed, “Even prime minister Modi has put the poor people in trouble by demonetizing the currency. In a month the Modi government has hiked the fuel price thrice. During the election, Modi had assured to credit Rs 15 lakh to the account of every citizen of the country but Amith Shah clarified saying that it was a political gimmick. Later they started Mann ki baath, then surgical strike and many soldiers sacrificed their lives. Then came the demonetization of notes. Modi addressed the country on the New years eve and delivered a pre-budget speech which Jaitely was supposed to deliver during the budget. Narendra Modi is acting like a Demon for the poor people. He is the puppet of Ambani and Adani”, Said Mithun Rai.
