The appeal says, "In this murder case, Shamiullah, who was with deceased Harish Poojary, is the prime witness. The case is in the trial stage now in the court. The murder accused and their supporters are threatening Shamiullah with life and pressurizing him not to attend the court hearing as witness. He is living under fear now. So a situation is created, which may hamper the inquiry of the case." 

The delegation was led by former minister B Ramanath Rai. Block Congress president Baby Kunder (Bantwal), Sudeep Kumar Shetty (Panemangalore), zilla panchayat members M S Mohammed, Padmashekhar Jain, Manjula Mave, Anitha Hemanath Shetty, taluk panchayat vice-president Abbas Ali, youth Congress president Prashant Kulal, town municipality member Gangadhar Poojary, former president of Akrama Sakrama committee Mayilappa Salian, former president of BUDA Sadashiva Bangera, prominent leaders like Jagadish Koyila, Lokesh Suvarna, Nawaz Badakabailu, Chandrashekhar Poojary Baltila, A K Sharukh Ahmed, Victor Pais and Sadananda Shetty Kavalakatte were also in the delegation.

    Jungle Raj all over now, and people keep saying there's no difference between BjP and Congress. This is the difference where people are openly threatened, hindu-muslim issues are highlighted without talking anything about the economic conditions of the nation, nor it is told that in terms of poverty and food distribution ratio how we have fallen behind Pakistan and Bangladesh as well. If this difference isn't enough, then I don't know what to say anymore. Wake up..!!
