Mangaluru: Dakshina Kannada district Congress under the leadership of Mithun Rai held protest against Member of Parliament (MP) Nalin Kumar Kateel at clock tower, Hampanakatta.

Addressing the gathering, Mithun Rai, president of DK youth Congress, said "MP is acting like a street goonda. He had said earlier that he would set fire to the district. He used abusive words also. So he is not fit to be a public representative. Threatening the public servants and distrusting their work is a serious and punishable crime in India. MP Nalin Kumar is working without knowledge of our laws and rules. He should step down from position as MP."

Harish Kumar, president of Dakshina Kannada Congress said “MP Nalin Kumar is defaming the name of Dakshina Kannada by his goondaism. Before the rally, BJP leaders had said that around one lac members would participate in the rally. But after the programme they realized that they cannot even bring five thousand people. So Nalin Kumar showed his frustration and anger on the police inspector. Mangaluru Chalo was a flop.”
