Mangalore, Aug 19, 2013 : Sri Rama Sene Chief Pramod Mutalik has threatened to give a call for a Dakshina Kannada Bundh if the state government failed to  control cattle smuggling. The Sene leader has also set a 15 day ultimatum to the government.

 

 

Mutalik was speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a  training programme for the Sene workers at Sri Subrahmanya Bhajana Mandir, Neermarga on August 18,  Sunday. Mutalik also stated that the situation is alarming with the cattle thieves even going  to the extent of threatening cattle owners and stealing cattle.

He blamed the CM for the rising cattle thefts  and alleged that the state government decision to follow the anti-cow slaughter law of 1964 had led to a spurt in cattle thefts.
