Karnataka: Israeli DJ’s New Year show cancelled after strong protests

Israeli artist DJ Sajnka

Renowned Israeli artist DJ Sajnka who was scheduled to perform at a party at Bolar’s City Beach in Mangaluru on Friday Night December 27 cancelled his show following strong opposition from Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Bajrang Dal members.

The right-wing members pressured local authorities to revoke permission for DJ Sajnaka’s performance which was part of the New Year celebrations. The event organizers were compelled to alter the program, with other artists stepping in to entertain the crowd instead.

The organisation members raised multiple objections to the event, including allegations that DJ parties foster negative influences on youth and potentially expose them to drug-related risks. They also accused Sajnka of previously disrespecting Hindu deities.

In the lead-up to the event, the Hindutva members issued a strong warning, asserting that if the event featured the Israeli musical artist they would stage huge protests.

In order to prevent possible unrest the police decided to interfere and withdrew the permit for Sajnka’s performance at the last minute, citing security concerns.

‘No difference between Congress, PFI’: Karnataka BJP

Bengalore: Coming down heavily on the Congress for demanding a ban on the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) on the lines of the Popular Front of India, the ruling BJP has equated the PFI with the Congress. Minister for Education B.C. Nagesh said on Friday that there was no difference between the ideologies of the Congress party and the PFI. “I don’t know what Congress leaders know about the RSS. A few of them want votes of Muslims and that is why they are demanding a ban on the RSS,” he said. “RSS is a patriotic organisation. It is not getting any funds from the government. It is not important whether it is registered or not. RSS is working for the welfare of the country. But, PFI is indulging in anti-national activities,” he stated.
