People are responsible for Bodh Gaya says activist Manmohan Gupta

Mahabodhi Temple in Bodh Gaya blast could have been avoided if people were vigilant said social activist Manmohan Gupta who is the chairman of Gandhi Vichar Manch located at Malad, Mumbai. 

"When incidents like these happen, we hold police responsible. Such incidents happen because we are not vigilant. We are always thinking about ourselves and are not concerned about earth and nation. People should be vigilant and should report to police if they see something wrong. Police and government cannot reach every street. We should have love for the nation. If citizens report such activities to police, nefarious people cannot carry out such actions," says Manmohan Gupta.

With the support of local MLA Krishna Hegde, Chitah Yajness Shetty, founder of Chitah Jeet Kune-Do Federation from Mumbai has protested against what he calls “the intentional awful act of the restaurants management (sic).”

Yajness Shetty along with students of his federation marked the protest by pasting ‘SORRY’ poster at the signage at Juhu tara Road, opposite J.W.Mariott Hotel and submitted a letter to the restaurant management over the maligning portrayal.
MLA Krishan Hegde said “this is not only a disrespectfully featured image but it is also shocking to notice that the management of an up market restaurant has gone ahead without taking necessary permissions to use the Bruce Lee’s image to promote the outlet.”
“Bruce Lee’s world famous pose has ‘Momo’ in fingers caused a deep dis-comfort to millions of Martial Art followers and lovers,” said Chitah Yajness Shetty, who represents Bruce Lee Federation India. He has further demanded satisfactory response from restaurant’s management over permission to use Sijo Bruce Lee’s image officially.
