Members of All-India Lawyers’ Association for Justice on Friday met with Bengaluru Police Commissioner Kamal Pant and submitted a memorandum demanding that suo motu action be taken against Hindu right wing outfits that are reportedly harassing Muslim traders and creating communal divisions.
The right-wing organisations are also urging their own community members to not do business with them. Despite knowing this, the police are not initiating action and this is a matter of great concern, they said.
Meanwhile, Muslim community leaders urged members to carry on with their business and not discriminate against non-Muslim traders. Citing stray incidents, they advised people not to get influenced by current events.
