Puttur, July 9, 2025: Reacting from Sullia to the alleged insult directed at the Puttur MLA during a Hindu Jagarana Vedike protest, MLA Ashok Kumar Rai said:

"Speaking to others in singular form is part of their culture. At yesterday’s protest, only two people were actually from the Puttur unit of that organisation. The rest were from Sullia and other places."

He further stated, “Some fool came from somewhere and spoke nonsense. He should have stayed in Puttur a little longer—he’s now being taught a lesson.”

“We don’t oppose anyone. But those who unnecessarily create such issues will be dealt with and taught a lesson,” he warned.

“We know how to teach lessons from all angles—through law, justice, and even muscle power. No one becomes a great person by insulting others in singular form,” MLA Ashok Kumar Rai asserted in his sharp response.
