Bengaluru, Aug 20: JD(S) state president H D Kumaraswamy on Friday charged that vice chancellors of many universities had paid bribe for their appointments in the state.

“Many vice chancellors have made payments for their appointments. They would have borrowed money from somewhere to make the payment. And now, after the appointment, they are trying to recover the money. Hence, scams are cropping up in universities,” he told reporters.

He, however, did not divulge names of vice chancellors who he claimed paid bribe. To a question on who had taken the bribe, he sarcastically said, “Details of the payments might be available with Raj Bhavan.”

He took serious exception to Higher Education Minister Basavraj Rayareddi for terming some vice chancellors dacoits. “Being the Higher Education Minister, Rayareddi will have access to all information. Why isn't he taking action against those dacoits?” he asked. He also criticised Health Minister K R Ramesh Kumar for lecturing on morals in public life and doing nothing to bring in the changes.

He criticised the government for delay in recommending the police officers for promotion to IPS cadre. About 40 IPS posts have been vacant in Karnataka since March this year. But the government has not recommended any name to the Centre for promotions.

“Maybe, the government is averse to promoting Kannada-speaking officers to IPS cadre. It wants only officers from north India to occupy IPS posts so that they can mercilessly beat up locals,” he said, and added that Kempaiah, the advisor to the home minister, would be the right person to explain why the government is dillydallying on recommending the names.

Help denied to SC student'

H?D?Kumaraswamy charged that Social Welfare Minister H Anjaneya refused to help a meritorious scheduled caste student pay the admission fee for his medical course. Shivanand Sonemane had secured the 1,345th rank in the common entrance test and was given a seat at Bangalore Medical College. But he was unable to pay the fees. When the student approached Anjaneya recently seeking financial assistance, the minister did not oblige him, he said.

He also refused to accept the request letter that was written in Kannada. Instead, he asked him to submit the letter in English. “The government claims to be a champion of SC, ST and backward classes, but poor students belonging to these communities are not getting help,” the JD(S) leader charged and added that he will help the student if the government fails in its responsibility.

Shivamogga, Jun 16: The Deputy Commissioner on Tuesday announced a ban on movement of heavy goods vehicles in the Agumbe ghat section between June 15 and October 15 as a precautionary measure, as there was possibility of landslides due to heavy rain during the monsoon season.

All trucks over 12 tonnes will be prohibited from passing through the ghat, DC K B Shivakumar said in a statement here.

The authorities have suggested two alternative routes for the movement of heavy freight vehicles – the Shimoga-Thirthahalli-Sringeri-Kerekatte-Karkala-Udupi-Mangaluru route and the Shimoga-Thirthahalli-Mastikette-Hulikal-Hosangadi-Siddapura-Udupi-Mangaluru route.

Bengaluru, Apr 19: A recent government order prohibiting congregations, Ramadan prayers is discriminatory and needs to be withdrawn, JD(S) MLC B M Farookh has demanded.

In a letter to the chief secretary, Farookh pointed out that the order contained certain conditions such as restriction of the use of public address system and delivering Azan in low decibels, which had nothing to do with the prevention of Covid-19 disease.

“These days, Azan includes a call for the community to pray at home and does not offer namaz at mosque. The order also prohibits preparation and distribution of porridge, which has always been taken up in the interest of the poor. The High Court has noted that the relief distribution by NGOs or individuals should not be prevented and the state machinery has to coordinate the same by ensuring social distancing. The ban on distribution of porridge by mosques amounts to discrimination. The order needs to be withdrawn or revisited,” he wrote in his letter.

Further, observing that a religious fair was conducted in Kalaburagi recently, in violation of the government’s social distancing norms, Farookh sought the government to ensure that social distancing norms are enforced with regard to festivals of all communities without discrimination.

Mysuru, Feb 21: Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa said Amulya Leona, who raised pro-Pakistan slogans, had links with Naxalites.

Yediyurappa said that Amulya's links with Naxalites have been proved in an investigation. "She must be punished and action will be taken against the people behind it," he said.

"Bail should not be given to Amulya. Her father has also said he won't protect her. Its proved now that she had contacts with Naxals. Proper punishment should be given," he added.

While speaking to reporters at Mysuru Airport, the chief minister said unless actions are taken against the organisations who provoke them to make such comments, it is not possible to control them.

Yediyurappa suspects that the incident was a conspiracy to disturb peace and harmony in the state.

Minister B C Patil said that such incidents should not repeat. "It appears that youths are misused for such anti-national activities, he said.
