Mangalore, Dec 17, 2012: Sri Ram Sena activists staged a protest in front of DC Office on December 17, Monday urging the government to cancel the India-Pakistan T20 cricket match scheduled to be played at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore on December 25.

Addressing the protestors, Kumar Malemar, District President of Sri Ram Sene said that both the Centre and the state government must refuse permission for the fixture. 

He also accused the Centre of neglecting the vital issue of the failure of as many 137 out of the 2000 Pakistanis who had come to India to watch a Cricket match in 2008, to return to their homeland.

He said the Sri Rama Sene strongly condemned the act of the government in providing visa for 3000 Pakistanis to watch the scheduled match and warned that the government itself would be held responsible for any untoward occurrences.

He further demanded that the government should provide protection to Sri Rama Sene President Pramod Mutalik. Another demand placed forth by him was the arrest of the aides of notorious gangsters Chota Shakeel and Rasheed Malabari at the earliest.

Madhusudan Attavar, Ganesh Attavar, Jeevan Neermarga and others were present.

The protestors later submitted a memorandum to Deputy Commissioner N Prakash.
