Mangaluru, Dec 27: Forest, Ecology and Environment Minister B Ramanath Rai has promised to extend support for the construction of Beary Bhavana in Mangaluru, to promote Beary literature and cultural activities.

Speaking at Beary Samskrithika Sambhrama (Beary cultural extravaganza) organised to felicitate newly inducted President of Karnataka Beary Sahitya Academy here on Tuesday Rai recalled that the previous academy president and members had striven hard for the construction of Beary Bhavana. “The required support would be extended for making their dream of Beary Bhavana a reality at the earliest, he added.

"After the academy was formed, the respect for Beary language has increased. Dakshina Kannada is known for Tulu, Beary, Konkani, Arebhashe and Yakshagana Academy centers. There were objections for giving priority to Dakshina Kannada while appointing president of the Beary Academy. This year, different parts of the state have been given representation while appointing president and members of the academy,” he said.

Rai said that many members of the Muslim community belonging to Bantwal Assembly constituency have been supporting him in the elections. "Nobody should have doubt on my stand on secularism. Those who have been opposing me never call me a communal. Instead, they allege that I have been supporting Muslims, which indicates my stand on secularism," he claimed.

Academy President Karambaru Mohammed presided over the programme.  Minister for Food and Civil Supplies U T Khader, Chief Whip of the Government in Legislative Council Ivan D'Souza, former minister B A Moideen, MLAs J R Lobo, Abhayachandra Jain, Mohiuddin Bava and others were present.

Bengaluru, Mar 5: Karnataka chief minister BS Yediyurappa on Wednesday admitted in the legislative assembly that corruption was deep-rooted in government offices and held transfer racket as the root cause of the graft menace.

“Unless we root it out from the system, we can never uphold the spirit of the Constitution and ensure equitable justice to people. If legislators lend support (to this cause), then we can weed out this menace,” Yediyurappa said during a special discussion on the Constitution.

Successive governments have been accused by opposition parties of running a transfer racket, but there’s very little done to institute a probe or order a crackdown following the allegations.

The chief minister’s candid admission came after senior Congress MLA HK Patil, quoting a report from Amnesty International, said 63% of people in Karnataka give bribe to get their work done in government offices. The CM said he agreed with the report in toto.

New Delhi, Jan 9: The Union government has removed the central security cover of Tamil Nadu Deputy Chief Minister O Paneerselvam and DMK leader M K Stalin, officials said on Thursday.

They said while Paneerselvam had a smaller 'Y+' cover of central paramilitary commandos, Stalin had a larger 'Z+' protection.

The security cover of these two politicians has been taken off from the central security list after a threat assessment review was made by central security agencies and approved by the Union home ministry, they said.

Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) commandos were protecting these two leaders of Tamil Nadu.

However, they said, the central security cover will be formally taken off after the state police takes over their security task, they added.
