DYFI to hold protest on Aug 23 against ’celebration’ at Ananthmurthy’s death
MANGALORE: Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) has condemned move by Hindu chauvinist organisations in Mangalore and Chikmagalur who burst crackers and celebrated at the news of death of writer U R Ananthmurthy. Workers of Bajrang Dal burst crackers at Kadri area in the city to express their ’happiness’ at the demise of the writer who in the past been critical of the Hindu chauvinist organizations and about Hindu religious practices.
Muneer Katipalla, state president of DYFI in a statement here while condemning the ’vicarious act’ demanded that Mangalore City Police charge every one of those who took part in the ’celebration’ under stringent sections of the law. Muneer said DYFI will organize a protest demonstration in front of the office of deputy commissioner here on Saturday demanding police action against those who ’celebrated’ in a manner they chose to do so.
Muneer stated Dalits, members of women’s organizations, progressive writers and fans and well wishers of Ananthmurthy will participate in the protest rally. It may be recalled here that fans of Prime Minister Narendra Modi under the banner of Namo Brigade post declaration of results of general elections in May had sent an air ticket to Ananthmurthy for his reported remarks that he would leave India if Modi were to become the Prime Minister.
Incidentally, Bangalore Court earlier in June had registered a case against Ananthamurthy and writer M M Kalburgi for allegedly offending religious sentiments. The offensive incident in question happened decades ago, when Ananthamurthy was a child and the book in which he wrote about it, was published 18 years ago. Kalburgi had referred to Ananthmurthy’s statement about idol worship in a collection of essays called "Bettale Puje Yake Kudadhu".
