The police detained 20 activists of Sri Ram Sene for singing bhajans during their agitation in protest against azaan being aired on loudspeakers in Kalaburagi on Monday.
Sri Ram Sene had warned that it will start playing Hanuman Chalisa and bhajans on loudspeakers if the State Government did not stop playing azaan on loudspeakers at masjids. It had also set May 9 as deadline for removing loudspeakers from masjids.
As many as 20 activists of the right-wing organisation who began playing bhajan at Jagat Circle were immediately detained by the police. Siddalinga Swami, head of Andola Karuneshwar Math in Jewargi taluk and State president of Sri Ram Sene, did not participate in the agitation.
