Mysore April 2, 2009: Police today imposed prohibitory orders under section 144 at Kayathamaranhalli extension here, after a clash between two groups last night, in which, many vehicles and houses were damaged.
Police said today they resorted to tear-gas to disperse the warring groups. Two Assistant Sub Inspectors and four constables, were among others, who were injured in the incident.
Four temples were damaged. The miscreants also attacked the house of the former Mayor H N Srikantiah and ransacked furnitures.
The Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa's Parlimentary Secretary S A Ramadas rushed to the spot and pacified the warring groups. Meanwhile, an additional police forces had been deployed to tighten the security in view of the prevailing situation. The security had been strengthened in the entire city as a precautionary measure.
Dr Acharya said the situation at Kyatamaranahalli had been brought under control. Police had arrested 18 persons in this connection, he added.
Though the exact reason for the violence was not yet clear, some reports attributed it to eve-teasing, while police sources said that the cause was an argument over a petty transaction near a telephone booth which snowballed into a verbal war of words, followed by a group clash.
Judicial inquiry ordered
The Karnataka Government has ordered Judicial Inquiry into last night's group clash at Kyathamaranhalli Extension in the city, Minister for Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Shobha Karandlaje said today.
Talking to newsmen here, she said the incident in which more then 40 houses and four temples were damaged and a number of vehicles burnt would be probed.
Ms Karandlaje, who is also the District Incharge Minister, said the guilty would be booked under law after getting inquiry report. She also held a peace committee meeting in which Congress MLA and Former Minister Tanaveer Sait and leaders of minority community of the Narasihma Raja Assembly Constituency where the incident took place participated.
The authorities had clamped prohibitory orders as precautionary measure and the situation was stated to be tense but under control. The area had been virtually cordoned off with deployment of a large number of police personnel to tackle any eventuality. |

Islam talks about secularism for hours but they never allow any churches or temples to be built say in Saudi Arabia or Pakistan.
And in a secular country like India they destroy all other places of worship other than mosques.
Thousands of Muslims always want to live in secular country trying to escape the clutches of Sharia laws. You can see thousands of people trying to enter India from Bangladesh and Pakistan. |

| Inspite of minority or majority, pain s jus common for every human on this earth. Pls letus stop on digging up wat majorities n minorities ve done. People in india shld jus fall under two category.. Literate n illiterate... and one duty of literate s to show lights in the life of illiterates thru education... ter s nothing meaningful on veing sme debates abt the deeds of majorities n minorities.. instead lets debate on the illiteracy of the people involved in violence... lets debate hw can it b eradicated totally.. |

Instead of criticizing Congress and pseudo-secular media for not condemning or criticizing the Mysore riots, let us congratulate the BJP State government and Home Minister Dr. V S Acharya for keeping communal forces and vested interests' attempt to disrupt social harmony at bay and disallow petty issues to snowball.
Issues in Puttur, Mangalore, B C Road would have easily been a media fodder by way of petty issues growing tall under Congress rule as we have seen in the past. Poor Communal forces and vested interests, pity you. All your attempts are going on vain. |

| so what.. india is a secular country.. and all the political parties are secular.. any body can attack hindus in india.. it is widely and happily accepted, but not the otherway.. our political leaders from all over the country will visit mangalore, to hype the attack on the attackers of new life.. but no one is bothered when a hindu is attacked.. india is great.. politicians are even great. |

If only Indians realised the danger of allowing minorites to have more priviledges than the majority!
At any point, muslims can claim minority status and start a fight. Is this even reasonable? How is this even allowed?
India and its people - especially the likes of Tejas - need to do some real soul searching to fig out the hypocracy of their statements. |

| The only way to change this partiality concept of the national media in covering news reports with political lenience and quoting unverified reports just to bash up one segment of the society is just to encircle the media men or women and take hostage. When the news of the hostage taking reach their national headquarters it does indeed become a news that would presurrise the channels to look at the background of the incident. It is at this time we can force the media to quote news nationally that majority community's worship places are also attacked or else the hostage would not be released. this would also lead people to realise that the media is indeed working with political lineance. |

A shame that the rest of the media doesn't report it. Indian English media is useless, that there is no doubt.
But what are we Hindu samaj doing?. Hindus are great at thinking about one's own family, exam results, etc but going beyond caste, family egos, and thinking about the nation and society overall, is lacking.
There is no point in asking what is RSS doing. RSS is running many shakhas and thousands of sewa projects. Unless we do our part in helping the cause of Hindu unity, (for eg, at least donating $ and visiting sewa projects of sangh if not going to shakha) such incidences will keep on happening, just like we have had terrorist attacks. |

It is unfortunate to see.. how people are blaming BJP and defaming the Govt.
Imagine if the attacked place is not temple... all the news channel would have highlighted the news for another 2-3 months on prime time...
Someone suggesting... that 'minorities' do not have power... in India... 4 temples and 35 homes... (all affected are people from Majority community) so there is no clash as such!!
CM came down and pacified...!!
NOW... ppl who carried out these attacks.. deserve to be in jail.. or may be do not deresve to live in this country...!! I think these are all anti-social elements..!!
These are the atrocities being carried out on Majority community in the name of appeasement politics..!! |

Tejas and Nisar,
Isn't it funny that a church is attacked or a Mosque is attacked and now even when a temple is attacked you guys blame the same community.
Let me guess why - The other community is Religion of peace. They have never committed any crime, they have never killed anyone.
Sorry guys all the blame lies on the majority community. |

Lets us be frank of the reality that Minority community (Or for that matter the Particular community which indirectly most of you would like to hint out here) has neither the Political backing nor Money power nor Means to carry out such untoward things. We all are aware of how Minorities are hounded for even petty things, false cases inflicted on them, terrorizes & left to rot in jails. Indian Jails have the highest number of Minorities. Such acts are things just out of minority’s imagination.
Kaup Masjid incident is an ideal example of Sangh’s Master Plan on minorities.
I am sure even this is another one of their plan & all emanated from Ugadi incident between two groups of the same community which has been given a communal color. Another election gimmick to divide the community. |

H.M ...the facts speak for themselves... now look at the state of the coastal belts which are under the influence of the saffron forces. The law and order has gone for a toss, minorities are marginalized and harassed, unscrupulous elements are running a parallel government in the district with the full blessings of the pseudo religious political party.
'Divide and rule' which is beneficial in the short run seems to be the mantra of BJP; which unfortunately in the long run will shred this country into pieces and then you may sit and thank the fascist BJP for having ruined us. |

Stop living in fools paradise, Tejas. Congress is the most communal party in India. If the BJP was even half as smart as Congress, they would've "saffronised" the country aeons ago, considering the Hindus were proportionately more than Muslims post independence though the demographies have changed considerably in recent times thanks to unchecked Bangladeshi and Pakistani infiltration.
As for your claim of - "Lets not forget Karanataka never had such problems when the Congress was ruling in karnataka." You seriously need to some reading. |

One thing is for sure the BJP is playing its dirty tricks well before the general elections by trying to stole communal passion.
Lets not forget Karanataka never had such problems when the Congress was ruling in karnataka...now the BJP is hell bent on dividing scoiety on lines of religion for the sake of votes. |

First of all thanks to Mangalorean.com for covering the incident when our National media didnt even bother to cover it.
Four temples were damaged. Idols broken. Terrorists entered houses and attacked women and children. Have we seen this any 24x7 channels? TV9 would have covered it for a while, but where are our sickular channels?
There is no point in crying for attention. Only one opportunity we have friends. That comes on April 23 and April 30th. Just remember .. this .. we dont have anyone to protect us. Let us protect ourselves. |

| Kayathamaranhalli? Having lived in Mysore, it's an easy guess on how 'peaceful' groups would have participated in this unfortunate incident. |
