`Bajrang Dal destroying Sufi culture'

Staff Reporter

BANGALORE: The former MLC A. K. Subbaiah has alleged that the Bajrang Dal had been making attempts to destroy the original Sufi culture at Bababudangiri by introducing new rites and rituals such as Datta Mala, Nagara Sankeertana Yatra and Shoba Yatra in the name of religiosity.

He told presspersons here on Saturday that the Bajrang Dal was all set to remove the cultural roots of Bababudangiri. The Government was trying fool the people by pretending to promote harmony.

Black Day

The Hyderabad Karnataka region would observe November 1 as black day to protest against the Government for not taking up any development work in the region, Mr. Vaijnath Patil, MLA who has been expelled from the Janata Dal (Secular), said.

The coalition Government had no genuine concern for the region.
