Nagpur Condemning the attack on a CPM MLA's daughter in Mangalore as "heinous", the BJP said on Saturday that there was a need for a thorough inquiry into the incident.

"This particular incident needs to be investigated thoroughly. The facts which are emerging indicate that there may be a different story altogether," BJP spokesperson Rajiv Pratap Rudy said.

Activists of a suspected saffron group dragged the daughter of a Kerala MLA and her accompanying male friend out of a bus on Friday in Mangalore and reportedly kidnapped them before releasing the victims.

Describing the yesterday's incident as "heinous action, Rudy said political parties should not accuse BJP of any involvement in such cases.

"Imputing BJP every time to any such instance anywhere would have political designs as you are aware that the next general elections are round the corner," he said.

"The BJP condemns this incident in severest terms. This is unacceptable to us. Any action by any group, individual or organisation having any political or social affiliation is unacceptable and needs to be condemned in severest terms," fumed Rudy.

He demanded that the Karnataka government and whichever "other organisations" interested must look into the case directly.

MLA TO CONTROL HIS DAUGHTER, ITS NOT BJP'S LOOK OUT. by ANIYAN on 08 Feb 2009

THE TEENAGE GIRL OF THE MLA WAS ON A PLANNED TRIP WITH HER MUSLIM BOY FRIEND WHEN MEN OF HER FATHER'S PARTY FROM HIS OWN CONSTITUENCY INTERCEPTED. THEY DID A GREAT JOB TO THE MLA FROM SPOILING THE LIFE OF HIS DAUGHTER; FOR WHICH HE SHOULD BE GRATEFUL TO THEM. KARNATAKA OR BJP GOVT HAS NOTHING TO DO THIS ANTI SOCIAL ACTIVITY OF MLA'S DAUGHTER. HE SHOULD HAVE SOME CONTROL ON HIS DAUGHTER.

Watch the Main Issues by Pavan on 07 Feb 2009

I think we indians are forgetting the mmain problems of corruption illitaracy, and health related problems, we are focusing mainly on trivial issues like mangolore attack were some welthier poeple faced the attack we donot look what is happening in delhi were daily a women is being gang raped and so, the media is also doing its duty by deverting the main issues as nobody is going to watch their programs if they beem any programs what is the real picture of India? why we are commpering with the developed contries were no corruption is there or burocracy is there compare india with India onlywe should focus on main issues, i think most of the persons behind this protest wont go to poll their votes on the polling day,

Getting back with interest by Ganesh on 07 Feb 2009

Every commie has no dearth of enemies all around them. In Kerala itself they have enemies in RSS,NDF, UDF and also groups within the CPM (Unoffical group). In such a situation whom so the government suspect.? For pseudo secular votes they may blame RSS only.However they have no reason to lament since they even massacred Cows and dogs in the houses of their perceived enemies. They may not find too many sympathisers.They dont even have Gods to cry to.

Kerala MLA's daughter attacked by Babu on 07 Feb 2009

Ram Sena - Indian form of Taliban. Shame on us.

Kerala MLA's daughter attacked by N.V.SANKARAN on 09 Feb 2009

According to the latest reports, the suspects in the above crime are members or ex-members of the communist party and there is no indication of involvement of the Ram Sena or any other Hindu organizations. Probably, the MLA, a Hindu by birth, did not want his daughter having any relationship with a Muslim boy. Therefore, it is just possible that he had arranged his own goons to commit this crime. With all the propaganda going on against the Hindu organizations, it is easy for anybody to blame them.

why are you dragging us in your shame by sarma on 08 Feb 2009

not us, only on you

Taliban Culture by Sunil Maingi on 07 Feb 2009

Are we in India or Swat valley? What this sena and other similar outfits are doing in the name of culture, is no different from what Taliban are doing in Swat. The BJP spokesman has condemned the attack, but the BJP chief minister has made his views public about Indian culture. Condemning the atrocity is not enough, firm action is required from the BJP government. The Ram Sene chief is facing a number of cases in various courts but, has been bailed out in all of them and is openly preaching hatred, inciting violence etc. The government on it's part has not anything to cancel his bail which was the least it could do. It should book these people under stringent provisions like Goonda act and put them away. Do the BJP have the will to prevent these activities in the name of culture, or the party thinks that by merely condemning such acts, it has done it's bit.

Those who live by the swords die by the swords. Dont forget the BJP is not above the law of nature

Partial media by vbs manian on 07 Feb 2009

Ithas become customary to immediately drag in the BJP whenever and wherever such incidents occur.These things keep on happening and the media immediately pounces once they occur in BJP ruled states.Recently in AP a girl died due to acid attacy by miscreants.School girls were abused in Kerala.At thisrate media will lose its credibility.

Ban these organisations behind by Khatib on 07 Feb 2009

Govt should immediately ban these extremist hindu organisations. India is a democratic country and every body has right to speak, love and marry of his/her own choice. Nobody has rights to disturb or intervene in others affairs.

Our communistsand their moral! by A.N.Sen on 07 Feb 2009

Communists of this country are squarely responsible for whitch hunting. One should not forget their wrong deeds in compulsorily marrying couples of their party in the recent past.They married off a wealthy well educated lady from Bombay to a Bengali and similarly Punjabi Muslim to a Kerlite when therev was nothing common amogst them.

Attackon MLA daughter by Bapu on 07 Feb 2009

Shame on you. Such goons of political parties enforcing their views on others by force and enjoy political backing, only in India I say. shame on these extremist and political parties who promote such disgusting acts, devide communities, states and people. You have no right to dictate your stoneage mentality on anyone. Go help a poor or feed a hungry human soul. Ban these extremist groups regardless of their cast, religion, political status or belief.

beware bjp by kirit shah on 07 Feb 2009

so called hindu organisations r not helping hindutva in india by getting negative reports in the media and any right thinking person cannot accept such foolish acts. actually such organisations r helping general public to think tht hindutva is against the basic rights of general people. bjp should not be criticised for such acts. it is good tht bjp has comeout with a reaction immediately. election r coming near and every kind of bad designs will come to score political points. beware bjp.

They should be put along with the apprehended terrorist of the 26\11 mayham! i'm sure he would repent for what he did and shoot himself. RMS actavists and nothing less than headless chicken terrorists! God help the Citizens of South India.
