Mangaluru, Oct 21: Strongly condemning the attack on a college principal by a degree student in Mangaluru, Association of Mangalore University College Teachers (Amuct) and Catholic Sabha have urged the police to take stringent action against the accused.

condemnPolice have launched a hunt for Mohammed Shahnawaz, a student of Milagres Collge, who went absconding after thrashing Rev Fr Michael Santumayar, the principal of the same college, near his chamber on Thursday for denying him hall ticket on grounds of attendance shortage.

Addressing a press meet in the city on Friday Anil Lobo, President of Catholic Sabha Mangaluru Pradesh, said that the attack on the principal, who is still in the hospital, has created panic among teachers of the institution.

Giving a deadline of three days to Mangaluru city police to nab he accused, he said that if the police failed to catch him by the weekend the Catholic Sabha will close all educational institutions in Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Kasargod districts.

Meanwhile, in a press release, Dr Ummappa Poojary, president of Amuct, said that the Friday's incident has brought shame to the costal district of Dakshina Kannada which is considered as a hub of educational institutions in the country.

“The police should consider the assault case seriously and arrest the culprit immediately,” he said adding that such students may become anti-social elements in future.

Amuct also has also urged the Mangalore University and department of education to give complete freedom to principal and teachers of schools and colleges to control the attendance of students.

This boy who assaulted the Principal should be given the severest punishment - a lesson to all not to think of such crime in their dream also. However, some BORN dirty filthy generation of people brought religion here. These scums forgot what their religion is - Who raped Tulsmi Mata, who kidnapped Rukmini, Who killed Sambhuka, why they push the widow to burning fire, one girl is married to one brother - the rest of male start sharing her why??? Why wife's sister is half wife and husband's brother is half-husband to you - Why do you force Dalit women pray naked? Are you animals or worse than them??

Bengaluru, Jul 29: Karnataka Congress President DK Shivakumar on Tuesday criticised BJP-led Karnataka government for limiting or omitting various topics including chapters on 18th century Mysore ruler Tipu Sultan and his father Hyder Ali.

Speaking to media here at Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) office, Shivakumar said Congress will not allow BJP government in Karnataka to "divert history".

"Tipu Sultan does not belong to one caste or a class. He is part of the history of this country. BJP government has removed chapters related to him for its political advantage. It is their decision whether they celebrate Tipu Sultan Jayanti or not, but he is part of our history. 

The President of this country Ramnath Kovind came to the Vidhan Sabha and praised Tipu's patriotism during a joint session," Shivakumar said.

"The BJP government has come to power today. Our history should not change. We will not let these people to covert or dilute history. This is the stand of the Congress party. Our experts will study the pros and cons of this decision," he added.

Shivakumar further said many countries around the world have praised the Constitution, Indian history and expressed their willingness to "adapt it".

"But the BJP is trying to curtail this. We need to educate our children. Our team will also study this and we will not let this happen," he said.
The Karnataka government, in a bid to reduce the syllabus for state board schools by 30 per cent, has limited or omitted various topics including chapters on Mysuru rulers Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan from the class 7 social science textbook.

The reduction in syllabus comes as schools are closed to prevent the spread of coronavirus in the state, and classes have been moved online.
The Department of Public Instruction of the Karnataka government also limited or removed various other topics from the syllabus of class 6 to 10 as they were repeated or can be alternatively taught.

Earlier, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) had revised the syllabus for the classes IX to XII for the academic session 2020-21 in a "one-time measure" owing to the COVID-19 pandemic.
