Mangaluru: DJ Sajanka show cancelled following protests

Mangaluru: Israeli artist DJ Sajnka cancelled his performance at a party in Bolar on Friday night following opposition by local groups. The program was altered, with other artists performing instead.

Organizations like Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal had opposed the event, citing potential negative impacts of DJ parties on the youth due to alleged drug mafia. They also accused Sajnka of disrespecting Hindu deities in the past, demanding that the program be denied permission. Protest warnings were issued if the event proceeded as planned.

The police, in response, revoked permission for Sajnka’s performance. Although Sajnka arrived in Mangaluru on Friday, he did not perform and stayed at the hotel.
