Udupi: The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Bajrang Dal staged a protest in front of the Deputy Commissioner’s office at Rajathadri in Manipal today to protest against the withdrawal of the anti-conversion law by the Congress government in the state.
The activists, who had gathered in hundreds, shouted slogans against the state government’s decision. Addressing the protest, Sri Rajasekharananda Swamiji of Vajradehi Mutt said that the state government was adopting an anti-Hindu policy and chief minister Siddaramaiah was indulging in appeasement politics of one community.
