Mangalore, Mar 11, 2014 : Ivan D’Souza, KPCC Secretary has alleged that the recent clashes at Kalladka were pre-planned by the BJP and its affiliate organisations with an attempt to gain undue political advantage.
Speaking to reporters at the District Congress Office on March 10, Monday, he also charged the police of failing to tackle the problem and alleged that the police department had not deployed enough personnel at the venue of the programme. He also said police were unable to take control over the situation even when miscreants were continuing to hurl stones for over an hour in the area.
NSUI leader Ashith Pereira, Mustafa, Elston D’Cunha and others were present at the press meet.
