BELAGAVI: The ongoing Karnataka-Maharashtra border unrest, which had led to suspension of bus services for three days over safety fears, threatens to take an ugly turn with political parties and regional outfits sounding open threats of violence and shutdown of business.
While Shiv Sena leaders have threatened to shut shops owned by Kannada-speaking people on March 20 at Miraj, Sangli and other border towns and villages in Maharashtra, one leader, Shubham Shelake, urged cadres to thrash pro-Kannada activists sporting “red-yellow shawls” on the streets. Following a complaint from Pro-Kannada activists, an FIR has been filed against Shelake at Khadebazar police station. The Karnataka Rakshana Vedike (KRV) has said it will do “everything” to protect the “sovereignty of the state”.
