Member of Legislative Assembly U.T. Khader on Tuesday urged the police to initiate stern action against those who erected a banner declaring that only Hindus can open temporary shops during a jatra at Ullal.
Mr. Khader told reporters here that the banner had come up at Ullal Bail where the Dompada Bali Fair was scheduled on Wednesday. Though the police pulled down the banner, ostensibly displayed at the behest of Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal, the matter needs to be investigated and stringent action has to be taken, Mr. Khader demanded.
The banner read, “Only those who worship the Gods of this land are allowed to set up shops here”. It also said that business one gives should not benefit communities that disrespect Hindu Gods.
