Sri Rama Sena, which has been opposing azan (call for prayer) on loudspeakers, launched a campaign of playing Suprabhata, bhajans or Hanuman Chalisa on loudspeakers early in the morning in some parts of Karnataka on May 9.
Sena chief Pramod Mutalik, who arrived at the Anjaneya Swamy temple in Tripura Bhairavi mutt in Shivarampet in Mysuru before the crack of dawn, offered prayers and played suprabhata on the loudspeaker. Mr Mutalik and his supporters also sang devotional songs. He later visited the Anjaneya Swamy temple in Agrahara, where also the suprabhata was played. Police had been deployed around both the temples.
