Sriram Sena backs Hindus boycotting Muslim traders in certain parts of Karnataka

Sriram Sena convener Pramod Muthalik on Thursday said his organisation backs the drive of some Hindus boycotting Muslim traders in certain parts of Karnataka. Stating that the Muslim’s ‘expansionism and separatism are dangerous and killer’ for the country, Muthalik said, “Sriram Sena extends its full cooperation to such boycott, which has started in Karnataka.”

“For the past two days boycotting trade activities with Muslims has begun in Karnataka. The drive that started from a religious fair in Kaup in Udupi district has spread to other parts of the state,” Muthalik said at a press conference here. “Unless the Muslims change their mindset, this conflict and enmity will continue forever,” he said.

In Kaup in coastal Udupi district, the Maari Gudi temple authorities did not allot any of its land on the premises to Muslims during the Suggi Maari Puja festival on March 22 and 23 after some Hindu organisations petitioned them not to rent out space to those from ‘different faith who have no faith in judiciary’.
