Mangalore: The district youth congress held  a protest on Tuesday July 22, in front of the district commissioner’s office, condemning the meeting between journalist Ved Pratap Vaidik’s and terror mastermind Hafiz Saeed.

The meeting between Vaidik the self styled journalist and Baba Ramdev aide and the Paksitani terror mastermind in pakistan sparked off a massive row  in Parliament and protests in the country. The Congress party had vigorously questioned the government on its contribution to the meeting and the intentions behind it, only to be met with silence from the government. Hence they have decided to protest against this injustice. .

Congress interim district president Ibrahim Kodijal addressed the agitators during the protest. He questioned the ruling BJP party and their incomplete  response on the issue.

He also said that the BJP did not condemned the meet between Vaidik and Saeed. After forming the government within 2 months they have increased the price. People cannot afford vegetables, food commodities for their livelihood.

BJP claimed that after NDA government formation  ‘good days will come’, but people are witnessing only the price hike in diesel, railway tariff. NDA government budget was in favor of corporate world not in-favor of common. Congress also condemns the meet between Baba Ramdev aide Ved Pratap Vaidik and Jama’t ud Da’wah chief and wanted terrorist HafizSaeed, he said.

The meeting between Ved Pratap Vaidik and Hafiz Saeed is indeed a tragedy for the nation; Saeed was the brain behind the Mumbai terror attacks and meeting him in such a manner derogatory, alleged the district youth congress.

Praveen Chandra Alva and Mithun Rai district president of Dakshina Kannada District Youth Congress also spoke on the ocassion in the presence of Nazir Bajal, Meril Rego president of  South Vidhana Sabha Constituency Youth Congress,  Girish Alva  president of North Vidhana Sabha Constituency of Youth Congress, Veeresh Alva, Ashith  Pereria and others were present.
