Mangalore (Karnataka): The political leaders have always neglected to respect the nationalist leaders who fought for the country’s independence, Hence the circle being newly-built opposite Mangalore University college must be named as ‘Chatrapati Shivaji Circle’, demanded Vinod Kamat, an office-bearer of Hindu Jana Jagruti Samiti, submitting a memorandum in this connection to mayor Ganesh Hosabettu at Mangalore City Corporation premises on Thursday February 19.
A memorandum will also be submitted with regard to celebrating ‘Shivaji Jayanti’, which is least remembered by the people. The renaming of circle will be an honour to the historical hero who rightly and legitimately deserves it for his precious contribution to the country’s sovereignty, he said.
The mayor assured him to consider the request of the people and do the needful in the matter.
Nagarika Hitarakshana Vedike, Sri Ram Sene, Hindu Yuva Sena, Hindu Shakti, Yuva Shakti, Kalikamba Seva Samiti, Hindu Jana Jagruti Samiti and Gowd Saraswat Brahmin Mahila Vrinda have supported this demand.
Kumar Malemar, district convener of Sri Ram Sene, Hanumanth Kamat, president, Nagarika Hitarakhana Vedike, Pratima Prabhu, Hindu Jana Jagruti Samiti and Shobha Kamat, president, GSB Mahila Vrinda, were present on the occasion.
