BANGALORE: Activists of the Karnataka Rakshana Vedike on Saturday blackened English signboards of shops, hotels, cinemas and banks between Gandhinagar and Rajaram Mohun Roy Road. Traffic movement was affected on the stretch for more than two hours. The vedike activists carried this out during a rally to mark one year of the incident wherein the former Mayor of Belgaum Vijay More was daubed with black paint at the Legislators' Home in Bangalore. The vedike activists went about their task for nearly two hours causing hardship to people. About 50 activists, led by Pravin Shetty, started the rally from Gandhinagar. While some of the activists went in a truck shouting slogans against Maharashtra, others walked down holding paint boxes, sticks and iron rods. The activists stopped vehicles sporting stickers with English letters and defaced them. A car driver was overpowered and black paint was applied on the sticker bearing his children's name. The boards of some establishments were also brought down.
