Even though the congress came to power in the state, the dharma Dangal continues in the coast. This time again Muslims were denied the opportunity to trade in the Shashti Jatre of Kudupu Srianantapadmanabha temple on the outskirts of mangalore under the supervision of the Mujarai Department, which has once again caused controversy. Shashti fair will be held in Kudupi from december 14th to 19th and the trade stall of the fair has been opened for a Hindu businessman.
He refused to give shops to Muslims for business, which has now turned into a controversy. Recently, when a similar controversy erupted during the annual fair of Mangaladevi temple, the district administration intervened and allowed Baki Elam to allow Muslim businessmen to do business. Meanwhile, the left-wing organizations have demanded the district administration to allow business to all, including Muslims, by conducting re-elam in Kudupi as well. Denial of permission to Muslim traders in Hindu temple fairs on the coast has been going on for the past two years, leading to controversy each time. Hindu organizations have welcomed the denial of entry to Muslim traders at Hindu fairs. Meanwhile, the management of the temple is giving the assurance that if non-Hindus are allowed to trade in the fairs, they will have to face the pressure of the Hindu organisers.
Outrage of street vendors: The street vendors' association has accused the congress government of religious discrimination in the santhe business outside the Kudupu temple premises. The district administration has again failed to protect the right of living of the poor Santee traders who depend on the fairs for their livelihood. The congress government in the district is reeling under the grip of communalists. The Muslim traders have accused the government of not being able to stand with the poor Santa traders.
In Kudupi on Thursday, the management board of the temple conducted the distribution of Santhe business. At this time, Muslim traders have gone to ask for space for Santa trade. But Muslim traders were denied allotment of land. The traders expressed displeasure that the administration had suggested that they should get shops in the name of Hindus if necessary.
Santhe trade takes place on the public road in front of the temple. Last time too, Muslim traders were denied business in the Kudupu temple due to opposition from Hindu organisations. In view of this repetition, district In-charge minister Dinesh Gundurao should resign. The Muslim Traders Association has demanded the immediate intervention of cm Siddaramaiah.
