Karnataka: BJP protests escalate, party's Karasevak Campaign gains momentum against alleged govt suppression

Brandishing a placard and raising his voice against what he perceives as an attack on Hindu activists, Sunil Kumar, a former Ram Mandir Karasevak, staged a protest in front of the Sadashivanagar Police station in Benglauru on Thursday. He accuses the Siddaramaiah government of attempting to criminalise individuals who were part of the Rama Janma Bhoomi movement, labelling the government's actions as anti-Hindu.

Sunil Kumar alleges that the Siddaramaiah-led government in Karnataka is deliberately targeting Hindu activists and attempting to instill fear among them. He contends that the arrests are a means of suppressing the voices of those who actively participated in the Ram Mandir movement. Drawing on his own experiences, Sunil Kumar challenges the government's stance, stating that the current government is not working in the best interests of Hindus. 

In a bold move, Sunil Kumar issues an open invitation to the police and Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, challenging them to arrest him for his past involvement in the Bajrang Dal and his role as a Karasevak during the Ram Mandir struggle. Sunil Kumar makes it clear that his protest is not a one-time event but part of an ongoing campaign.

He emphasises that the protests will persist until those he refers to as 'Karasevaks' are released. The BJP's strategy unfolds further as the campaign plans to continue with a leader protesting every day. Today in Chikkamagaluru, the former National General Secretary of the BJP is staged a protest, as sources reveal. Suresh Kumar, a prominent BJP leader, is expected to join the protests on Friday. There are also indications that former Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa may join the fray.
