Mangaluru: After the two murders in Bellare in Sullia, the murder of an innocent youth, Mohammed Fazil, in Surathkal, has posed a great threat to the communal harmony of the region, said the Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI).

The BJP government is directly responsible for such alarming developments, they added.

The DYFI Karnataka State Committee appealed to the people to unanimously reject the murderous politics that have a negative impact on the lives of the people, and instead promote communal harmony.

In a press release, DYFI State President Muneer Katipalla and secretary Basavaraj Poojar said that faced with an anti-incumbency wave, the BJP, as usual, is inciting communal violence in the coastal districts, with the support of the government.

The BJP aims to polarise people on the basis of religion and the divert public opinion against the government, they said.

DYFI alleged that serial murders are taking place on the coast due to it.

He said that the move of the chief minister to visit the house of BJP youth leader Praveen Nettaru and distribute compensation, while failing to visit the house of Mohammed Masood and failing to distribute compensation to his family is in poor conduct.

As a chief minister, he should not engage in such a disparity. This behaviour would have motivated the murder of Fazil, they felt.

Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai should have followed ‘Rajadharma’.

The DYFI has urged the government to pay compensation to the families of Sameer in Naragunda and to Fazil in Surathkal without any discrimination.
