Pralhad Joshi seeks suspension of Mysuru inspector over Ganeshotsava remarks
It is truly unfortunate that in our own country and on our own soil, Hindus are forced to plead for permission to celebrate Ganeshotsava with grandeur, Pralhad Joshi said
Union Minister Pralhad Joshi has called for the suspension of T. Narasipura Circle Inspector Dhananjay, following intimidating remarks made against Ganesh Mandal members. During a peace committee meeting, Inspector Dhananjay threatened young members with dire consequences if they violated certain rules. He claimed that the Ganesha procession would not be allowed to pass through streets with mosques and that bursting firecrackers, dancing, or shouting slogans near mosques would not be permitted.
Inspector Dhananjay emphasized that the procession must adhere to the route prescribed by the police. Joshi criticized the inspector's actions as threatening innocent youths and warned that such behavior is unacceptable. He questioned the authority granted to the police department by the Home Minister Priyank Kharge or the D.K. Shivakumar's Congress government to publicly threaten young Ganesha committee members.
Joshi stressed that the duty of the police is to maintain law and order, not to act as an agent of a specific community and issue threats to others. He vowed that the government will not tolerate any attempt to undermine Hindu culture, traditions, and devotion.
