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.

Bengaluru, Apr 11: The coronavirus-driven lockdown will continue for another 15 days, but relaxations will be allowed in a graded manner, Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa said after a four-hour-long video conference with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday.

“Agriculture and industrial sectors will be given relaxation. Government offices will be allowed to work with partial strength. But the PM said detailed guidelines will be issued in two days,” Yediyurappa said, briefing reporters. 

“Importantly, the lockdown for the next two weeks will be different than how it was in the past three weeks. The Centre, keeping in mind economic activities, especially agriculture, industry and employment of labourers, the Centre will tell us what needs to be done,” the CM said.
 
According to Yediyurappa, PM Modi told all chief ministers that the next 2-3 weeks will be critical. “The next few weeks will decide whether or not we have succeeded. If the situation worsens, we have to face the crisis,” Yediyurappa said, quoting Modi. 

Apparently, Modi sought details on the COVID-19 situation from 12-13 states where the situation is grave. “He did not take a report from Karnataka,” Yediyurappa said. “This morning, seven new cases were reported in the state, taking our tally to 214. Nationally, we were in the third place; we’re now 11th,” he said, hailing the efforts of officials involved in fighting the pandemic. 

The CM said it was “inevitable” to continue the lockdown for another 15 days. “But for citizens to get essential supplies, there’s no bar on them going by walk alone. Also, we will see to it that agricultural activities are not affected anywhere,” Yediyurappa said.
