Scores of BJP workers and activists staged a demonstration in the city on Thursday condemning the killing of BJP Yuva Morcha leader Praveen Nettar in Dakshina Kannada.
The activists said it was a protest against the spate of killing of Hindu activists and blamed groups from Kerala. The BJP leaders said the fundamentalist groups from the neighbouring State were creating disharmony in the State.
There are efforts to suppress our voice through violent means and the government should be more pro-active to crack down on such fundamental forces, said Srivatsa, BJP city unit president, while addressing their workers.
