"I

request
you
to

provide

Police
Force
(CRPF)
protection
to
Smt
Sumalatha
Ambareesh,
independent
candidate
in
Mandya
Lok
Sabha
constituency,
Karnataka,
and
leading
Kannada
actors
Shri
Darshan
and
Shri
Yash,
at
the
earliest
in
the
wake
of
increasing
violent
actions
by
her
opponents,
particularly
from
workers
and
supporters
of
the
political
parties:
JD(S)
and
Congress."
Congress
Goons
Are
Abusing

It
was
further
stated,
"On
the
day
of
Smt
Sumalatha's
nomination,
all
the
cable
networks
were
cut
off
by
the
JD(S)
and
Congress
goons.
JD(S)
and
Congress
leaders
are
abusing
Smt
Sumalatha
Ambareesh,
Shri
Darshan
and
Shri
Yash
in
public
meetings
and
also
instigating
their
workers
through
social

"She
said
that
there
were
instances
of
a
few
men
trying
to
gather
information
from
her
security
guards
and
attempting
to
take
photographs
of
those
visiting
the
house.
I
had
even
asked
a
couple
of
them
what
were
they
doing
outside
my
house,
but
was
unable
to
get
information,"
Arvind
wrote
in
his
letter
to
the
Home
Minister
seeking
immediate
action.
Nikhil
Gowda
Attacked
Too!
Apparently,
it
isn't
only
Sumalatha
who
is
being
targeted.
According
to
a
few
reports,
when
Nikhil
Kumar
was
in
Bookanakere
during
an
election
campaign,
someone
pelt
stones
at
his
car.
Reportedly,
they
even
shouted,
"Go
back,
Nikhil"
slogans.
