Karnataka Rakshana Vedike (Shivaramegowda faction) has urged the State government to ban Amnesty International India for allegedly organising ‘anti-India’ events at United Theological College in Bengaluru and at some other places.

The vedike members, on Thursday, took out a motorcycle rally at different parts of the town and demanded action against Amnesty International’s India chapter and United Theological College for organising a function in Bengaluru on Kashmir, where anti-India slogans were raised.

The State government should immediately arrest the persons concerned at the managements of Amnesty International and the college, they demanded.
