Mysuru, Oct 1: Veteran Kannada novelist S L Bhyrappa, who is known for his pro-Sangh Parivar stance, has strongly defended Prime Minister Narendra Modi over multi-billion Rafale scam.

Addressing a symposium on novel ‘Uttara Kanda’, here, Bhyrappa slammed the All India Congress Committee (AICC) president Rahul Gandhi for accusing Modi of joining hands with Anil Ambani of Reliance Group and looting crores of rupees in Rafale deal.

“In our country, it is easy to make a person step down from his position but, it is difficult to prove the allegations. Is there any punishment for those who make false allegations,” he questioned.

“Is it right to give power to Rahul Gandhi, who was born in Italy,” Bhyrappa asked. (In fact, Rahul Gandhi was born in New Delhi, the capital of India, and not in Italy)

Bhyrappa then came down heavily on chief minister H D Kumaraswamy led coalition government of Karnataka, and said the person, who is in power, must understand the financial health of the state before introducing any scheme. “It is not right to introduce the schemes to please a section of the society,” he said.

Another Bhakth

Useless fellow with baseless talk

Modi joined hands with ambani (who has no experiance or expertise in that particular field) for make their family great, not for indian people

He has no business. He may be expecting some award from Modi govt. so that he is praising looter

He is pretending he has much knowledgw by addressing as novelist. Before criticising a person in a public sphere, should learn some background data about him.

He spoiled dignity of novelists

Karnataka stops covid-19 testing for asymptomatic international travellers

Bengaluru, May 28: The Karnataka government has done away with previously mandatory COVID-19 testing for asymptomatic international travellers.

The development comes a day after the government issued a circular, which allowed placing of international travellers into home quarantine if they had completed seven days of institutional quarantine.

A circular signed by Jawaid Akhtar, Additional Chief Secretary to the State Government, dated May 27, says that any “person who has completed seven days of institutional quarantine and is asymptomatic can be permitted for home quarantine with a COVID-19 test (RT-PCR), subject to undergoing a medical check-up.”

This check-up equates to thermal screening (with a required temperature of under 37.5C or 99.5F and pulse oximetry of under 94%).

The circular added that all elderly people, over the age of 60, and those with comorbidities (such as Diabetes mellitus, hypertension, asthma, heart ailment, renal disease...etc) are “required to be clinically evaluated diligently prior to shifting them for quarantine.”

On Wednesday, Pankaj Pandey, Commissioner, the Department of Health and Family Welfare said that these new guidelines were based on recommendations from the COVID Task Force. A member of the COVID Task Force said that new strategies had been formulated based on the latest findings on how the SARS-Cov-2 virus affects people.

Congress protest: D K Shivakumar, Siddaramaiah detained in Bengaluru

News Network

July 28,2020

Bengaluru, Jul 28: Several state Congress leaders, including its President D K Shivakumar, among others, were detained by police as they tried to march towards Raj Bhavan here against the alleged attempts by BJP to topple the party's government in Rajasthan.

Shivakumar, along with Leader of the Opposition Siddaramaiah, state Congress Working President Eshwar Khandre, Salim Ahmed among others were stopped by the police midway as they marched from KPCC office towards Raj Bhavan.

Congress leaders then staged a dharna at the place where they were stopped. Addressing the gathering, Shivakumar accused the BJP of trying to "murder" democracy by destabilizing and removing elected governments.

"We wanted to protest against it and submit a memorandum to the President through the Governor," but the Karnataka government by using police was not letting them proceed towards Raj Bhavan, he said. "Despite our being a peaceful protest, the police stopped us," he said.

Siddaramaiah, echoing similar views, said peaceful protests against injustice was the right of every citizen. Alleging that the BJP was attempting to destabilise and remove the elected government in Rajasthan as it did in Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh, he said the Governor's office there (Rajasthan) was being 'misused'.

The Governor was working like an agent of the central government, he charged. He said, despite repeated appeals by the Rajasthan cabinet, the Governor there had not convened the assembly session, for the floor test to take place and for Congress to prove its majority. Police subsequently detained Shivakumar and some other Congress leaders and took them to a nearby police station.

They were later released. Meanwhile, as the Congress' protest amid Covid19 pandemic did not follow social distancing norms, Medical Education Minister K Sudhakar hit out at that party's leaders. In a tweet Sudhakar said, for Congress leaders getting publicity was more important than social concerns.
