CM skips Kudroli Dasara, spends time at Ivan's house; Poojary curses both

October 10, 2016

Mangaluru, Oct 10: Veteran Congress leader B Janardhana Poojary has cursed the Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah after the latter gave the formal inauguration of Kudroli Dasara a miss although he was present in Mangaluru on Sunday.

Mr Siddaramaiah had inaugurated the Kudroli Dasara in 2014. Every year Mr Poojary, the patron of Kudroli Gokarnanatheshwara Temple, invites a special guest for the formal inauguration of the common man's Dasara. This year he had not invited any special guest.

It is learnt that Mr Poojary had expected the CM's visit to the Temple during his day-long Dakshina Kannada tour on Sunday.

However, after returning from Koila in Puttur taluk, where he laid foundation stone for a veterinary college, Mr Siddaramaiah visited the house of Ivan D'Souza, chief whip of the government in state legislative council, at Valencia.

Mr Poojary slammed both CM and the chief whip for allegedly ignoring the Mangaluru Dasara programme. “God will not forgive Mr Siddaramaiah for this blunder,” Mr Poojary said and added that Mr D'Souza too is responsible for CM's “indifferent attitude”.

However, Mr D'Souza said that visit to Kudroli was not on the cards and it was not included in the CM's official tour programme. He said that he had invited the CM on his arrival to the city and the latter accepted the same. "He was in my house for around 45 minutes before flying back to Bengaluru," he said.

May be The days are near we hear the news of Mr. Poojary joins the Communal party of india (BJP). Poojary is just creating a platform just to destroy congress and jump into his party BJP. May be Already he is purchased by BJP, and it will use him and throw him like toilet paper...

This is his last visit to dakshina kannada.....God curse all those who follow chor party..congress.

Very bad ...whether we take it or not ...one big section of billawas still follow pujari and support congress .this will be very costly as many billawa ministers were given exit by Congress and now insulting veteran community leader

Pujari should stop bad mouthing!

Dont worry CM.. You are doing good job.. Dogs will bark as usual..

It is better to stay away from worshiping the Idols (NA TASYA PRATIMA ASTI). Atleast CM is following what the VEDAS says. Poojary is looking for controversy in everything now...

No public iftaar to be organized in Karnataka during Ramadan due to COVID-19: Govt

News Network

April 16,2020

Bengaluru, Apr 16: In view of the raging coronavirus pandemic, no public iftaar or sehri will be organized during Ramazan, the month of fasting for the Muslims, the Karnataka Minority Welfare Department announced here on Thursday.

"No public shall be allowed to perform five-time congregational prayers in mosques, across Karnataka during Ramazan in view of COVID-19 pandemic. No public address system to be used by the staff of mosques for offering namaz,'' the department said.

During the holy month of Ramazan, it is a tradition to organise iftaar feasts for large gatherings by different people, especially by politicians, celebrities and the common wealthy people for their friends and family.

Ramazan is to commence from the 24th or 25th of April this year, depending on the sighting of the moon.

The order stated that Azaan (the call for prayer) shall be given at low decibel and namaaz including Friday namaaz, will be performed by the imams, moazzins and the masjid staff only.
No public should be allowed to offer namaaz in the mosques as per government directions, it said.

The state government also cited an order by the Ministry of Home Affairs dated April 15, which stated that "All religious places/places of worship shall be closed for public. Religious congregations are strictly prohibited due to the outbreak of COVID-19 across the country."
Thirty-four more COVID-19 cases, including 17 cases from Belagavi, have been reported from Karnataka. The total number of coronavirus cases in the state now stands at 313.

The total number of cases in India has now climbed to 12,380. Out of these cases, 1489 have been cured/discharged/migrated while 414 deaths have been reported so far, as per the latest data provided by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.
