Is Balochistan more important for you than Karnataka: UTK asks Modi

September 21, 2016

Mangaluru, Sep 21: Expressing concern over Prime Minister Narnendra Modi's reluctance to intervene in Cauvery river water dispute, Congress leader UT Khader has reminded him that Karnataka is an integral part of India and not Balochistan.

utkmodi Mr Khader, who is also the minister for food and civil supplies and consumer affairs in Karnataka, said: Mr Modi has so much of concern over the developments in Balochistan, but is least bothered about the injustice that Karnataka is facing on this vital issue. “Is Balochistan more important for you than Karnataka,” Mr Khader questioned.

In a press communique issued on Tuesday in the aftermath of the Supreme Court verdict, mr Khader said the verdict of the apex court is unfortunate. The Supreme Court directed the state to release 6,000 cusecs of Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu for seven days starting September 21.

"Karnataka is facing repeated injustice on the issue and the dispute between the two states has not yet been comprehensively resolved," Khader said.

The direction to set up Cauvery Management Board is truly surprising, Khader said adding this has only further complicated the issue between the neighbouring states rather than solve it. "The Supreme Court has only given its judgement on the Cauvery water issue but not provided justice," Mr Khader said, adding that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has been trying to draw attention of the PM to this issue for the past one week, without success.

With the PMO still not giving Siddaramaiah an appointment, this is a gross affront to people of the state, he said adding that PM Modi rather than solve a tricky water sharing issue between two states is showing overt concern to the Balochistan issue.

"It is time for all the members of parliament to collectively meet the Prime Minister and bring pressure on him to intervene in the issue and provide justice to the state," Mr Khader demanded.

Balochistan may be important for him, may be next he will run for UN Gen. Secretary's post.

Another important thing from his speech, \When terrorists killed school children in Balochistan, Hindustan, Parliament had tears. Every Indian school was in tears.\"
But, what happened to his \"Tears\" when Gujarat terror happened?? when unborn babies are killed in mother's wombs????"

Really joky comments here by sangheez....utk please wait till our pm finish his world travel drama and selfie collection.....modi already called naren and Viren....trouble makers in the name of go raksha...ha ha...what more should the bhakts need.....shameless creatures ...

Do not put any dislikes or likes for the comments posted by Ve_r_n or N_r_n. Because more you put dislikes they get more encouraged to write provocative comments.

Naren, what a rubbish..... you cannot tolerate that a muslim is a minister....

Utk stop doing drama baazi ...u r fit for nothing ...we all know what u did when u worked as health minister ...35 rs medicine invoiced at 300rs ...hogappa saaku ...kandideeni ...if u r a powerful leader stand in the constituency where Indians are in large no ...u are winning election becoz of j_h_d_ votes .

Modi has no time to meet Siddarammayya to discss Kavery issue, but he has plenty of time to turn his flight to Pakistan and to eat biriyani with Nawaz Shareef.
Mangana kayyalli maanikya kotta haage aagide.

what can you expect from Moun minister....he will wake up during election time and give some speech to fool his blind bhakts like viren...by raising hand..fingers...

great Mouni Baba. never we seen such Mouni baba in Indian History. Manege Maari Pararige Upakaari

He may not go against the Supreme court... but... ahem...ahem...What about Yettinahole Sir?

Good points by Mr Prajwal. These days all bachchalis pose questions to Modiji just to get publicity. That's the power of 'NaMo Naamochchara'

Mr Khader!
You know that Karnataka is integral part of India. But, Modiji knows that both Karnataka and Tamil Nadu are integral parts of India. Where were you when Manmohan Singh was India's PM? Did he intervene in Cauvery row? Did he help Kannadigas?

for Karnataka people, Karnataka is more important than India....For Modi Baluch is more important than India....shame....

Delhi
Karnataka
and those states who doesnt bow down to cheddis will face injustice ...
But dont worry Truth will prevail even if the evil cheddis play many deception (temporary enjoyment for cheddis) to fool the public with fake IT cell of cheddis.

Onion falls to Rs 25 per kg, but growers are in tears

News Network

February 11,2020

Bengaluru, Feb 11: Onion price dropped to Rs 25-30 per kg on Monday, down from the dizzying Rs 200/kg in December and January. The price had spiked because of excess rain, which ruined the crop in several parts of the country.

With supply stabilising, especially from Maharashtra and northern Karnataka, and exports banned, the rate is now easing, officials said.

Consumers may be smiling but farmers are worried as they are not able to make more than Rs 17/kg as against the expected Rs 40.

"We get onions from Nasik and Sholapur in Maharashtra. Nasik onions used to be exported but since that is currently banned, they are landing in Bengaluru, leaving the market here with a surplus," said K Lokesh, president, Karnataka State Onion Merchants Association.

A farmer from Sholapur wh o was part of a onion growers' delegation which met traders in Bengaluru, said, "The cost of everything has gone up. Labour charges and fuel prices are draining us. How can we survive? How can I pay for my children's education?"

Another Sholapur farmer rued: "My daughter's wedding is in March. How am I going to meet all the expenses? I have to pay for labour, transportation, gunny bags and when everything adds up, I don't get to save more than Rs 30,000 in a month."

Karnataka govt mulls ban on cow slaughter, beef consumption

News Network

July 11,2020

Bengaluru, Jul 11: The Bharatiya Janata Party led government of Karnataka is planning to ban cow slaughter as well as the sale and consumption of beef in the state by bringing Prevention of Cow Slaughter and Preservation Bill, 2012.

"Many states have passed the Anti-Cow Slaughter Bill. We are preparing to implement it in Karnataka as well. The state government will soon implement a ban on cow slaughter, sale and consumption of beef on the lines of many other states," said Prabhu Chauhan, the state's Animal Husbandry Minister.

The Anti-Cow Slaughter Act is already in place in several states like Gujarat, Delhi, Haryana, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh among others.

Last month, the Yogi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh government passed a draft ordinance to prevent cow slaughter, providing maximum rigorous imprisonment of 10 years and a fine up to Rs 5 lakh.
The Uttar Pradesh Cabinet Cow Slaughter Prevention (Amendment) Ordinance, 2020 aims at making the existing Uttar Pradesh Prevention of Cow Slaughter Act, 1955 more effective towards cow safety.

In Karnataka, the BJP-led government had promised to ban cow slaughter in its manifesto for 2018 state assembly election.

"The government will form a team of experts to look into once the current pandemic situation eases," Chauhan stated, adding that if necessary, the team of experts will visit states like Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat.

The then BS Yediyurappa-led BJP government had passed the Karnataka Prevention of Cow Slaughter and Protection Bill in 2010 but it failed to get presidential approval. Three years later, the Bill was withdrawn by the Siddaramaiah-led Congress government.

"I will discuss this matter with Chief Minister and if this pandemic situation eases, by next session, if not by upcoming assembly session, we will try to bring Karnataka Prevention of Slaughter and Preservation of Cattle Bill," Chauhan added.
