Swabhimani Nade postponed, will hold Kanaka Nade says Sulibele
Udupi: The organizers of Swabhimani Nade march have postponed the programme said K L Ashok president Komu Souhardha Vedike. He was speaking at a pressmeet held at the Ambedkar Bhavan on Saturday, October 22.
Chalo Udupi march was peacefully held but a leader of Yuva Brigade has given a call for cleaning Udupi through which the Chalo Udupi jatha had marched. A memorandum in this regard was submitted to the Director General Police to book a suo-motto case as the forum has insulted the Dalits. The memorandum has also been submitted to the district superintendent of police in 16 districts. We have not said of entering the premises of Sri Krishna Math. We are against the practices like Pankti Bheda.
The police have assured us that they will not permit the Kanaka Nade programme and if they hold the programme the police will initiate severe action. Our forum after the assurance given by police has postponed our programme.
Jayan Malpe said that the Pejawar Swamiji visits Dalit colonies as part of his publicity campaigns. If he is really concerned about the Dalits he should have food with us. The Udupi CMC develops the premises of Sri Krishna Math and hence it cannot be called as private property.
Meanwhile, the Yuva Brigade leader Chakravarty Sulibele has criticised the move by the district administration for denying permission for Kanaka Nade. The District administration has denied cleaning the Sri Krishna Temple premises. But our activists have already started to come to Udupi from different parts of the state. We will clean the Krishna Math premises, without taking the law into our hands, he added.
Earlier the district police had denied permission to Kanaka Nade and the Swabhimani march quoting security reasons.
Yuva Brigade has planned to organize Kanaka Nade on October 23, in contrast to the programme Swabhimani Nade was also scheduled on the same day by Dalits, thinkers, intellectuals and other like-minded associations. Both the forums had approached the District Superintendent of Police and the Deputy Commissioner seeking permission for the programme.
KT Balakrishna, District Superintendent of Police has also said that the police will be beefing up the security in the city. 6 KSP, 10 DAR platoons, 100 home guards, DySP’s of 3 sub-divisions, inspectors, sub-inspectors, constables will be deputed to tighten the security in the city.
Chakravarthy Sulibelle? The new Yuva brigade President which formed after dissolving NAMO formed by Naresh Shenoy? Sulibelle is the first man to receive Naresh Shenoy in the central prison wanted in the connection of RIT activist Vinayak Baliga murder case.He is also one of the participant in ‘Maha puja’ organised by Naresh Shenoy last week. Kanakadasa has a special association with Udupi as he was the follower of Vyasaraya Swamiji.On the request of Vyasaraya Swamiji of Vyasaraja Math he had come to Udupi. But it was an era when discrimination on the basis of caste was at its peak. Is… Read more »
Chakravarthi Sulibele is not someone that I intellectually respect. His speech/writings are shallow and sensationalist at best. It would be good to keep characters like him at a distance. I notice that sharia shaikh is lecturing us on equality and discrimination. I agree with him that bad social policies like discrimination should be questioned and discouraged. Is he willing to join hands with me in fighting discrimination not just in Udupi but also in his community where women are not even allowed to mingle with men? Is he willing to support uniform civil code? Is he willing to give muslim… Read more »
