People pour out anger on Twitter over killing of RSS activist in Mangalore

Mangalore, July 10 (IBNS): Creating an online campaign #BurningKarnataka, people on Twitter flooded their strong reactions against the fatal stabbing of an activist from Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) which took place on last Tuesday.

People on social media attacked the Karnataka government for its silence in the entire incident.

28-year-old Sharath Maldivala was stabbed by few people when he was heading towards home from the laundry which was run by him. Though he was taken to the hospital, he died.

However, Twitter users did not restrain themselves from venting their angers against the state government for silence, whenever a person from the majority community is killed.

The accusation of minority appeasement was evident in a tweet by Sharada Diamond, which reads: "If a Muslim boy is murdered, Weeks of strikes & debate; but If Hindu boy is killed, Absolute silence by state government #BurningKarnataka."

In a similar tone, columnist/writer Chakravarty Sulibele, urged Muslim to come out and speak against the Congress-run state government. "It's now the turn of responsible Muslims to speak against @CMofKarnataka He is spoiling the fabric #BurningKarnataka ."

Dharma Honarri even stated that the oust of Siddaramaiah from the CM's post as the solution to the problem. He said: "Only solution to save Karnataka is to get Siddaramayya out from CM position #BurningKarnataka."

Dheeraj Kumar, who is among some of the protesters of the incident, pointed finger at Karnataka government for Hindu oppression. He tweeted:"Karnataka home of Basavanna is now supporting jihadis, crime and oppression of Hindus under congress rule. #BurningKarnataka."

The protest was not only evident on social media but also did hit the streets of Karnataka. Leaders of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) were present in the protest on Friday with the demand of arresting the guilty. RSS demanded a probe in the whole incident of killing.

While the uproar against the ruling party is gathering momentum, at least on social media, the state will be heading towards the election next year.
