Muslim organisations and trade bodies have decided to hold a voluntary bandh in Hubballi on Monday to condemn the killing of Neha Hiremath, a college student. A silent protest march will be taken out to seek the highest punishment for the accused.
“All business establishments run by Muslims will down their shutters on Monday in Hubballi-Dharwad to condemn the murder and seek the highest punishment for the accused,” president of Anjuman-e-Islam Society Ismail Tamatgar told reporters on Sunday.
Leaders of the community led by moulvis and elders have decided to take out the silent protest wearing black bands. They will submit a memorandum to the Chief Minister through the Deputy Commissioner’s office demanding stern action against the accused Fayaz Khandunayak.
