Mangaluru/Udupi, Mar 5: After BJP supremo Amit Shah’s visit to coastal Karnataka, the party leaders have intensified their Hindutva campaign in the region. The party’s Karnataka Suraksha Yatra, which entered Dakshina Kannada districton Sunday, has further energised the saffronists to up ante against the state government by portraying it as an anti-Hindu regime.

On Sunday rallies and public meetings were held in Sullia and Puttur, two sensitive areas of the coastal district as part of the state-wide Yatra entered.  The yatra started from Kushalnagar in Kodagu district on Saturday. It will reach B.C. Roadon Monday via Kalladka.

Addressing the rallies in Sullia and Puttur, Nalin Kumar Kateel, Member of Parliament, alleged that Hindus have no security under the Congress-led government in the State as it has failed to control the killings of Hindu youths.

He alleged that the State government has failed to control drug mafia, sand mafia and land mafia.

Pratap Simha, MP, Mysuru said that the yatra is being taken out for the protection of the life of Hindus.

He said that 23 Hindu activists have been murdered in the State under the Congress rule. Mr. Simha took objection to the government withdrawing criminal cases filed against the workers of the KFD.

Sanjeeva Matandoor, president, Dakshina Kannada unit of the BJP, and other leaders of the party were present.

Meanwhile, the yatra which began from Ankola on March 3 would enter Udupi district on Monday. Padayatra and public functions would be conducted in Byndoor, Kundapura and Udupi.

Mangaluru, May 6: The Kanara Chamber of Commerce and Industry has urged the government to consider erstwhile undivided Dakshina Kannada (now DK & Udupi) as one unit for the purpose of movement of people. KCCI president Isaac Vas has written a letter to Karnataka chief secretary T M Vijay Bhaskar in this regard. 

Mr Vas said: Even though the erstwhile Dakshina Kannada district was bifurcated in 1997 for administration purposes, the two districts are actually an urban agglomeration with most of the population residing in suburbs/towns. Office Staff, technical crew and labour of many industries reside in either district and commute daily for work within an efficient transport system.

The present restriction on Inter-district movement in view of the Lockdown is hindering the kick starting of industries and commerce. Workers are deprived of their livelihood and Industry and business owners are finding it challenging to move forward. To add to this, the migrant labour is moving back to their native places further aggravating the situation. Many Industries and Commercial establishments have requested us to take up this matter with the government, he said.

“Hence, we kindly request you to consider these two districts as one geographical area for the movement of people and private vehicles,” he said adding that this would facilitate movement of people for employment and business in either districts of Dakshina Kannada & Udupi.

He pointed out that Bangalore Rural, Bangalore Urban, Ramanagara, Chikkaballapur and Kolar are considered as a single unit as per your order No. RD158/TNR 2020 dt 03/05/2020 (Clause 2(a)).

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.
