Udupi, Aug 18: The cow vigilantes of Vishva Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal, who brutally attacked two cow transporters and killed one among them on Wednesday night in Udupi district, made all attempts to twist it into an accident case, but in vain.

The incident occurred at around 7:30 p.m. when Praveen Poojary, a cattle trader, was loading three cows into a Tata Ace for transportation at Kadike in Santhekatte near Hebri village. Poojary's friend Akshay Devadiga was also present.

All of a sudden a group of around 30 gau rakshaks apparently belonging to VHP and BD reached the spot and began to assault Poojary with lethal weapons. Devadiga, who came to his rescue, was also assaulted brutally by the miscreants.

The assailants left the spot only after Poojary revealed that he was a BJP worker and had campaigned for the saffron party during last Lok Sabha elections. Though Poojary and Devadiga were rushed to a hospital by local residents, the former breathed his last without responding to any treatment.

Meanwhile, the assailants reportedly warned the local residents, who had witnessed the incident, of dire consequences if they reveal the matter to police.

On the other hand the family members of murdered Poojary and injured Devadiga have claimed that they received threat calls from strangers who threatened them and asked them to treat it as an accident case.

The Udupi district unit of BJP, which always encouraged the violent acts so of called gau rakshaks, is now in a dilemma as they have killed their own man.

Udupi SP KP Balakrishna confirmed to Coastaldigest.com that 18 persons have been arrested for their involvement in the attack.

our useless Home Minister Parameshwarayya says (in NDTV report)
that it is Cattle trade rivalry murder. He is giving wrong information to the media. Helping VHP and Bhajrang Dal.

first he should resign from his post. He cannot control home ministry.
Congress government in Karnataka is a B team of RSS.

Indeed this was an accident for BD/VHP guys. They wanted to kill a Muslim but they killed a Poojary accidentally... In next election BJP's Poojary vote bank will be badly hit by this \accident\"."

I request costaldigest not to call these gundas as GOW Rakshaks. These Anti national terrorists are GOW BHAKSHAKS. Government should consider this as a serious matter. Because of these Goondas Family lost a son. Who will bear the loss of this? Killing human beings in the name of cow should be stopped. If cows have more value than human being then one day this world will be filled with more cows than humans.
I request our PM to wake up and punish all these 17 culprits along with the leaders of VHP & BD who made this master plan.
My sincere condolence to family members of Praveen Poojary.

Dear Hindu Brothers now you can understand that Terrorists have NO RELIGION

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.

Bengaluru, Jul 19: A man protested in front of Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa's residence on Saturday alleging lack of medical care claimed the life of his one-month-old infant girl, police said on Saturday.

Venkatesh sat with the baby's photograph in front of the Chief Minister's house, saying the girl developed health issues on July 11 and he rushed her to a hospital, but it turned him away, the police said.

He said he had approached about a dozen hospitals and all of them refused to provide the baby any medical care. Eventually, the baby died.

This forced Venkatesh to hold a protest to draw the Chief Minister's attention to the issue, the police said.

The demonstration drew public attention and a few people joined him in the protest, they said.

New Delhi, Jan 14: The Kerala government has challenged the new Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) before the Supreme Court, becoming the first state to do so amid nationwide protests against the religion-based citizenship law. The Supreme Court is already hearing over 60 petitions against the law.

Kerala's Left-led government in its petition calls the CAA a violation of several articles of the constitution including the right to equality and says the law goes against the basic principle of secularism in the constitution.

The Kerala government has also challenged the validity of changes made in 2015 to the Passport law and the Foreigners (Amendment) Order, regularising the stay of non-Muslim migrants from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan who had entered India before 2015.

The Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), eases the path for non-Muslims in the neighbouring Muslim-majority nations of Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh to become Indian citizens. Critics fear that the CAA, along with a proposed National Register of Citizens (NRC), will discriminate against Muslims.

The Kerala petition says the CAA violates Articles 14, 21 and 25 of the constitution.

While Article 14 is about the right to equality, Article 21 says "no person will be deprived of life or personal liberty except according to a procedure established by law". Under Article 25, "all persons are equally entitled to freedom of conscience."

Several non-BJP governments have refused to carry out the NRC in an attempt to stave off the enforcement of the citizenship law.

Over 60 writ petitions have been filed in Supreme Court so far against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act. Various political parties, NGOs and also MPs have challenged the law.

The Supreme Court will hear the petitions on January 22.

During the last hearing, petitioners didn't ask that the law be put on hold as the CAA was not in force. The Act has, however, come into force from January 10 through a home ministry notification.
