Mangaluru, Aug 21: The national president and other senior leaders of Bharatiya Janata Party, who were in the city to participate in Tiranga Yatra, tried to give a new definition to “nationalism” by depicting those who raise voice against union government as anti-nationals.

Speaking at a public meet organized by the saffron party in the name of 'Balidana Smarane' (honouring martyrs) on Mangaluru University campus as part of the Tiranga Yatra', BJP supremo Amit Shah accused the Congress party of backing anti-national ideologies.

Making a veiled attack on those who condemn Hindutva nationalism of BJP and promote secular nationalism, the BJP chief said that some people misuse freedom of speech to camouflage their anti-national sentiments. "Such people should be isolated," he said.

In the backdrop of the controversy over an Amnesty International India (AII) event in Bengaluru, where “anti-national” slogans were allegedly raised, Mr Shah said that people of the country should unite against “those anti-nationals”.

Mr Shah also seized the opportunity to promote his party with an eye on next Assembly polls and called B S Yeddyurappa, who was present on the stage as “Chief Minister in-waiting.” Responding to their leader's statement, the jubilant BJP workers began to raise slogans in support of Mr Yeddyurappa.

Abbakka to be honoured

Prior to this Mr Shah garlanded the statue of Rani Abbakka at Ullal Circle. Abbakka Utsav Samithi president Dinkar Ullal submitted a representation to Mr Shah urging the Union government to name Mangaluru International Airport after Rani Abbakka. Also, at least one train starting from Mangaluru Railway Station should be named after Abbakka, the forum has requested the government in the memorandum.

The Samithi said one circle each in New Delhi, Bengaluru and Mangaluru should be named after Abbakka. The life story of Abbakka should be included in primary and high school curriculum. A theme park on Abbakka should be set up on 10 acres of land at Ullal, the Samithi has demanded.

The security was beefed up for Shah's programme. Senior police officers monitored the security arrangements. Along with CRPF Commandoes, a large number of police were deployed at the venue. IGP (Western range) Arun Chakravarthy, DCPs K M Shantharaju, Dr Sanjeev Paril and others had camped at the venue till the end of the programme.

New Delhi, May 29: The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has imposed a monetary penalty of Rs 1.2 crore on Karnataka Bank Limited for non-compliance of asset classification, divergence and provisioning norms.

"The penalty has been imposed in exercise of powers vested in RBI under the provisions of Section 47 A (1) (c) read with Section 46 (4) (i) of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949. 

This action is based on the deficiencies in regulatory compliance and is not intended to pronounce upon the validity of any transaction or agreement entered into by the bank with its customers," the central bank said in a statement on Thursday.

According to the central bank, the statutory inspection of the bank with reference to its financial position as on March 31, 2017, and as on March 31, 2018, and the Risk Assessment Reports (RAR) pertaining thereto revealed, inter-alia, non-compliance with the directions issued by RBI.

Earlier, a notice was issued to the bank advising it to show cause as to why penalty should not be imposed on it for non-compliance with the directions.

After considering the bank's reply to the notice, oral submissions made in the personal hearing and examination of additional submissions, RBI concluded that the charges of non-compliance with RBI directions warranted imposition of monetary penalty, according to a release.

This action is based on the deficiencies in regulatory compliance and is not intended to pronounce upon the validity of any transaction or agreement entered into by the bank with its customers.

Mangaluru, Aug 7: A woman suffered critical injuries after a speeding car knocked down her scooter and then ran over her at Kadri Kambla Junction in the city today.

The woman identified as Vanishri Bhat (22) a resident of Kedila from Puttur. 

A CCTV footage of the accident, which went viral on social media, shows the car hitting the scooter, pushing the woman on road for a couple of meters before climbing over her.

The car stopped when she was under it. A few people including a policeman lifted the car from the front and rescued the woman. 

She was immediately taken to a private hospital in Mangaluru City MLA U T Khader’s car which was passing through that way. 

She has suffered critical injuries on her head, ribs, hands and legs, sources said. She is reportedly responding to treatment. 

It may be recalled that in December last year a lorry-auto accident at the same spot claimed life of a 56-year-old teacher while the auto driver miraculously survived. Following the accident, speed breakers were installed at the junction.
