Udupi, Aug 23: Shocked by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's remarks against so called cow protectors, Hindu Janajagruthi Samithi's Udupi district unit has demanded a public apology from him.

Mr Modi had recently revealed that he knew the fact that some of the so called gau rakshaks were in fact anti-social elements and criminals. "I want to tell everybody to beware of these fake cow protectors. These handful of vigilantes have nothing to do with cow protection, but want to create tanaav' (tension) and takrav' (conflict) in our society," he had stated in a public meet.

Addressing a protest rally organised to condemn the PM's statement here, the Samithi's district president Vijay Kumar said that the cow protectors have been insulted by the PM. “Modi has called them anti-social elements. He has committed injustice by ordering action against cattle protectors who make up nearly 80% of the population in the country. The prime minister's opinion, which in turn, represents the government's view, is a major step towards luring the minorities,” he said.

He said the government's decision to take stringent action against cow vigilantes would end up in the increasing number of cases on cattle trafficking and slaughter. A majority of people are hurt by the decisions of the prime minister and the government in general, he said.

He said that cattle protectors put their lives in risk and involve in the task. Many times, the traffickers armed with deadly weapons and attack the people who stop them. Despite all odds, the people who believe in the religious sanctity of the cow, are carrying out a massive campaign, he claimed.

He demanded that the government, instead of reprimanding the protectors of the cattle, should take stringent action against the cattle traffickers and warn them.

Samithi leader Dinesh Nayak condemned prime minister for calling the caretakers of the cattle fake.'

He said Modi has a hidden agenda in the backdrop of the forthcoming polls in Uttar Pradesh. His statements insults the majority community in the country. There would be disastrous consequences as a result of prime minister remarks, he warned.

Deception - back fired.
BJP is the main source of supporting the cheddis.
Your plans are weakening YOU and those who play with the rules of God will face such humiliation through your own evil plans.
In few days their own hindu brothers will be attacked... dalits r already under attack... now rest of the hindus too will be attacked by the mindless cheddis?
Honest hindus should recognise this and voice out against the cheddis who is creating unrest in the society.

Dear Our Gau Rakshak Brothers

First of all prove true religiously and scientifically do you say slogans to protect cows and not other animals.
A true religion always goes with science, it does not clash with science. In vedas, you can see Hindu Rshis have eaten and sacrificed cows, cattle.

If you have evidence against your claim, bring to the public and you will have support of not only all Indians and also you will have worldwide support. What version of Hinduism are you following.

Cows in India are less than 10% of cows in the whole world.
If you are truthful with your claims, prove the whole world that your claim of go rakshan is correct.
If you can prove, you will have reward from the God and also appreciation by the whole world.

Imposing and Bringing blind faith on others is your atrocity to others. You are indirectly forcing others to follow your blind faith, which is bad.

Simply if you don't want to eat beef, it is upto you,
Others are eating their cow. Not your cow.
Don't force others to follow you and stop their food.

Our fair Hindu brothers and sisters should raise concerns and stop their illiterate so called flag carriers of Hindu religion.

Bengaluru, Mar 18: BJP MLC Lahar Singh Siroya on Wednesday wrote a letter to Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa, urging him to allow half-an-hour daily discussion in the State Assembly and Council to take stock and review preparation of the government to contain the spread of coronavirus.

"Since the entire world including India is facing an emergency-like situation, it is appropriate for lawmakers to discuss the matter in the legislature. I would like to request you to allow the matter to be discussed every day in the upper house," said Siroya in his letter to the Chief Minister.

He said discussion and suggestions on the issue can help the government to improve the surveillance activities.

He said members of the Assembly can bring realistic information from their districts and present the same before the House.

Stressing that Bengaluru is a global hub of software and electronic industries, Siroya said: "We need to step up surveillance on the improvement of the international community. So, we have to discuss in detail and devise a robust strategy to contain the spread of the disease."

He asserted there is a possibility of people using social media to mislead public.

"lf the government discusses and debates the issue besides making announcements if any, there will be no scope for social media to mislead the public. Media is doing a good job in educating people. So, I would like to request you to involve the media and select NGOs to sensitise people and bring in the preventive mechanism of self-quarantine more effectively," he said.

Two more people have tested positive for COVID-19 in Karnataka on Wednesday, taking the tally of infected persons in the state to 13, Health Minister B Sriramulu said.

A total of 147 positive cases of coronavirus have been reported in India so far, as per the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. The deadly virus has claimed three lives in the country, the first one was reported from Karnataka.

Bengaluru, Apr 1: The price of petrol and diesel will go up by Rs 1.60 and Rs 1.59 per litre, respectively, from Wednesday. This is in line with Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa’s decision to hike the rate of tax on petrol from 32% to 35% and diesel from 21% to 24%.

He had announced this in his March 5 Budget for 2020-21 fiscal. At present, a litre of petrol costs Rs 71.97 and diesel Rs 64.41 in Bengaluru.

The government decided to roll out the hike from Tuesday midnight going into Wednesday, April 1, after briefly considering a postponement in view of the COVID-19 crisis. 

Finance Secretary (Budget & Resources) Ekroop Caur confirmed to DH that the hike will be rolled out. 

The 3% hike on fuel tax was a key resource mobilisation measure that Yediyurappa announced in his Budget. The hike is expected to fetch the government Rs 1,500 crore. 

Yediyurappa had also announced a 6% additional excise duty on Indian Made Liquor (IML), which could help the government mop up Rs 1,200 crore. However, the sale of liquor has been prohibited during the lockdown period. Plus, hiking fuel prices during the lockdown will not hit citizens very hard.
