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.
New Delhi, Feb 13: Condemning the prevalence of the illegal practice of “dedicating” young girls as Devadasis in Hindu society, the Supreme Court on Friday described the practice as an “evil” done to women, who were later even subjected to sexual exploitation and pushed into prostitution.

Now all like minded should unite and eradicate all the malpractices in the name of religion like :
- Caste system- Upper, lower, Dalit etc.....
- Praying multiple Gods, also praying to Devils, Ghosts
- Fortune telling like horoscope. These can be seen on many Indian TVs.
- Telling the man made stories - that God and giants fight and God is loosing.
- Madai snana in Karanataka,
- Devadasi system in most of the South Indian states
Generally, stick to Vedas and practice it. These are more convincing than man made other books.
The best thing is if you found practical and true, get and follow from other religions.

TO those who are ARROGANT
ALLAH says in QURAN: O MANKIND, We have created YOU from a male and a female and have made YOU into nations and tribes for YOU to know ONE another. Truly, the noblest of YOU with God is most PIOUS. Truly, God is all KNOWING, All AWARE - QURAN 49:13
Islam REJECTS certain individuals or nations being favored b'cos of their wealth, power or RACE. ALLAH created human beings as EQUALS who are to be distinguished from each other only on the basis of their faith and PIETY.
Prophet Muhammad pbuh said : O people! Your God is ONE and YOUR forefather (Adam) is ONE. An ARAB is NOT better than a NON-ARAB & a NON-ARAB is not better than an ARAB, and a White person is not better than a BLACK person & a BLACK person is not better than a WHITE person EXCEPT BY GOOD DEEDS & PIETY.
Do YOU know even DALITS also should not be looked down.... If U guys continue to oppress people & did not recognise the true God surely HELL will be the destination. Please READ what God speaks its not just for high class.. everyone can access to GOD's word.
