Anant Kumar Hegde rakes up another controversy, mocks Kuvempu’s philosophy

Bengaluru Jan 17: The Congress mounted an attack on Union Minister Anant Kumar Hegde over his remarks on writers.

Hegde faced flak especially for his take on Jnanapith awardee, Rashtrakavi Kuvempu, whose ideas he seemingly mocked without naming him at a Skill India event in Belagavi. He mocked the philosophy of "be a human first..." that is often attributed to Kuvempu. Hegde also went on to say that some people wore the title of 'writer' to get sites allotted by the government, while their writings made no sense.

"These are not Hegde's words, but a reflection of the BJP's agenda. He has already apologised once in the Lok Sabha for a bad statement. He should understand that his position carries some dignity," AICC general secretary in-charge of Karnataka K C Venugopal said.

Food and Civil Supplies Minister U T Khader said mocking Kuvempu's Vishwa Manava philosophy was "an insult to all Kannadigas." Khader said Hegde was alright before he became a union minister.

"He's talking this way after he became a union minister. The prime minister should talk some sense into him," he said.

Who made him Union Minister ? He is the Biggest fool of century. Hegde can be in Media by saying good things. Is BJP govt Sleeping? Whatever Nonsense Hegde speakes, there is no comment made by BJP. I would Request BJP to spend on Hegde's Medical Bills. He badly needs to be admitted to NIMHANS. There are best doctors to bring him back to normal. Spoiling Karnataka's name by making nonsense comment. These guys need to be sent to ReHab !!!!

Bengaluru, Apr 8: In another incident of health staff involved in coronavirus containment facing trouble, two ASHA workers were allegedly manhandled at Kudachi in Belagavi district in Karnataka on Tuesday while undertaking a survey following detection of four COVID-19 cases with Tablighi links in the area, police said.

The district authorities have intensified door-to-door survey in Kudachi after four people who had attended the Tablighi Jamat religious conference in New Delhi last month tested positive for coronavirus in nearby Raibagh.

“Today when two ASHA workers went to Kudachi, some miscreants snatched away their phones. We are investigating whether they were beaten up also,” a police officer investigating the matter told PTI.

A few days ago, four ASHA workers here were manhandled when they went for a door-to-door survey and police have arrested five people from a minority community. They have been remanded to judicial custody by a court.

Former prime minister H D Deve Gowda had on Monday condemned incidents of attacks on doctors and health department workers and sought protection for them.
