DSS activists staged a demonstration in Mysuru on Thursday and sought to sell scrap materials to Pratap Simha, MP, in return for cash.
The DSS activists said the BJP had polarised society and called for a boycott of Muslim traders as a result of which scrap materials have remained uncollected.
Chooranahalli Shivanna, DSS convenor, said scrap dealers, a majority of whom are Muslims, have stopped visiting villages consequent to the call given by BJP leaders to boycott traders from Muslim community. ‘’Hence we want to sell the punctured tyres, rubber tubes and other scrap materials to Mr. Simha. He should purchase the scrap materials and compensate us suitably’’, said Mr. Shivanna.
