Why did Hindutva activists lynch BJP worker? Cow just an excuse?

Udupi, Aug 18: Even though many among the cow vigilantes who lynched an alleged cow trafficker to death in Udupi on August 17, did not know the fact that the victim was a BJP worker, those who led the attack knew him very well, reliable sources said.

attackreason A group of around 30 people owing allegiance to Vishva Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal on Wednesday night attacked Praveen Poojary (29), and his aide Akshay Devadiga (22) near Hebri in Karkala taluk of Udupi district under the pretext of illegal cow transportation.

While Poojary, a known BJP activist in the region, breathed his last at a hospital, Devadiga is recuperating slowly. According to sources, a few among the assailants were waiting for an opportunity to “teach a lesson” to Poojary.

Meanwhile, Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara also said that prima facie cattle trade-related business dispute may be the reason behind the killing of the BJP worker.

"Many of the assailants have been arrested in connection with the incident. Police are suspecting some sort of a cattle trade-related business dispute," he said, adding police have taken up the case.

Noting that he does not see a communal angle to the incident "at this point of time", Parameshwara said "some reason must be there, we will find out". He said.

"... We don't know at this stage, but they are suspecting some sort of a dispute because of the trade, it is not definite, but they are suspecting. Investigation will give us the final picture."

Parameshwara also expressed concern over repeated incidents relating to beef and cattle trade in Karnataka. "We are vigilant; we will definitely try and maintain peace and order. I appeal to the people who are trying to create this kind of disturbance not to do this because we are a tolerant society and we should not create these kinds of issues," he said.

Yes SUHA .......you are right .........he is advising as if they are partner in Trade.

Be A MAN Parameshwar............find out their father in this game and put him behind bars for life time .........then you see.

Clash between two terror groups is not a bad development in all ways. It may be useful to establish peace in society.

Read the advice given by home minister to the cow vigilantes. Talking as if they are his own family members. How sweet words he used!!!

As far as I know the victim was also a so called gau rakshaks. He used to actively take part in protests and other activities of VHP and BD in Karkala. I think this is purely a case of business dispute.

Yes. They know very well that cow cannot be their mother. They all are partners in illegal cattle transporting, selling and swallowing. Cow is always a handy pretext for them to execute their criminal plans like this.

Hindustan Zindabad... Violent Hindutva Murdabad..

Govt to bear Rs 78 cr cost of 108-ft-tall Kempegowda statue outside Airport: DyCM

News Network

June 27,2020

Bengaluru, Jun 27: Announcing Karnataka’s ambitious plan to install a 108-ft-tall statue of Nadaprabhu Kempegowda outside the airport, deputy chief minister Ashwath Narayan said the government will bear the project cost — approximately Rs 78 crore.

Work on the project will formally commence with the chief minister laying foundation stone for installation of the statue and development of a 23-acre park where it will come up, on Saturday.

How soon we get a coronavirus vaccine depends on not only the pace of work in research labs, but also the preparedness of factories supplying glass vials, stoppers and syringes

A look at the factors that may determine the severity of infection

An artist’s impression of the 108-ft-tall statue, which is proposed to come up in a 23-acre park outside KIA. The chief minister will perform bhoomi puja on Saturday.

KPCC president DK Shivakumar on Thursday suggested the cost be borne by Kempegowda International Airport and not the government. He wrote to the CM welcoming the decision to erect a statue of the chieftain at KIA, but asked why should the govenment spend on it. “When huge concessions have been provided to KIA, why not use its services to construct the statue,” he asked. Narayan, who is chairman of Kempegowda Development Authority, said it is the government’s duty to bear the cost.

The government has released sketches of the statue and a blueprint of the park. Noted sculptor Ram Sutar, who designed the Gandhi statue located between Vidhana Soudha and Vikasa Soudha and the Statue of Unity in Gujarat, will be part of this project as well.

Narayan said the government was not competing with any other state on having a tallest/largest statue while emphasising that Kempegowda ensured the city had tanks, markets and drainage system when it was founded. He added the government won’t invite many guests to Saturday’s ceremony. “Most legislators will be given a virtual link to view the event,” he said.

When the economic situation is very bad they are wasting people's money on these things now! These statues can be built when the peoples' basic things are first fulfilled. The title of this topic should be "People to bear the burden of Rs.78 crore", there is nothing like governments money, it's all belong to people.

What is the neccessity of spending tax payers money in building Statue when there is great need of these amount in improving the quality of Health sector during COVID-19 Pandemic. Government must be smart enough to prioritise the need of the people.

Kasaragod, Feb 17: A Kerala Muslim couple conducted the wedding of their Hindu foster daughter at a Bhagavathi temple in Kerala, scripting another tale of communal harmony at Kasaragod.

The wedding ceremony was held on Sunday.

The woman Rajeshwari tied the knot with Vishnu Prasad in the presence of family and friends belonging to both Hindu and Muslim communities.

Abdulla and Khadeeja adopted Rajeshwari after her father who worked at Abdulla's farm died. Rajeshwari's mother also passed away when she was a child.

Rajeshwari grew up alongside Abdulla and Khadeeja's three sons- Shameem, Najeeb and Shereef.

Earlier in January this year, cutting across the lines of religion, a mosque in Kerala's Kayamkulam hosted a Hindu marriage ceremony.
