Bengaluru, Jan 31: Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) observed Jan 31 (Tuesday) as Black Day across the country in wake of Central Government's dictation of destructive demonetization, its subsequent failure, ill-effects and continuation of miserable plight even after 50 days. On account of the day, the party held protest demonstration and formed a human chain at Indian Express Circle in Bengaluru.

Addressing the protest the SDPI national gen. secretary Elyas Mohammed Thumbey said “Since the day the BJP Government came to power at the Centre, has been busy implementing anti-policies which have ill-effects on people's lives and with rhetoric have continuously been imposing cultural and political fascism. On the eve of 8 November Prime Minister Modi had pub a ban on notes of Rs. 1,000 and Rs. 500 without any prior-notice. This is not only an attack on the fundamental rights of citizens but is like instating anEconomic Emergency' in the country.

The reasons BJP Government put before the nation with respect to enforcing demonetization have all proved to be ridiculous theories. With such an annihilative move, was there a need to push the public into the den of troubles? The BJP which was seen opposing black-money is now seen plunged steeply in the dark abode. During the 2014 Parliamentary elections, the political parties have spent over 30,000 crores of which a major part was spent on Modi's extravagant propaganda. BJP would have declared its own sources of income and pressurized all other parties too to disclose the same and brought the political parties under the ambit of Right To Information (RTI Act.) had the BJP was so serious about the issue of black money.

The demonetization has pushed our country into an economic emergency. Farmers, contractors, businessmen, labourers/workers, etc. have all been bearing the brunt of the destructive move by the Central Government. About 5 crore workers have lost jobs, business economy has touched depths and the country's GDP is crumbling every day. The government has not only compelled the citizenry to deposit their savings but has also ceased their withdrawals limits, snatching away their fundamental rights.”

State President Abdul Hannan, in his address during the protest said, “With the announcement of demonetization, more than 60 rules were slapped within a period of 40 days pushing common people in to anxiety and trouble, causing economic emergency in the country. All like-minded organizations and individuals to launch a joint struggle so as not to let the dictatorship prevail in a democratic system.” he called upon.

The program is being participated by national gen. secretary Afsar Pasha, CPI (ML)'s S. Balan and Shankar, SDPI state secretary Akram Hasan, state treasurer Shaik Siraj, Bangalore district gen. secretary Mohammed Shariff, BBMP corporator Mujahid Pasha, district committee member H.M Gangappa with party leaders and heads of other organizations.

Bengaluru, Apr 20: As many as 59 people were arrested on Monday for attacking police and health officials at the minority dominated Padarayanapura in the city when they went to quarantine some people, police said.

"Fifty-nine people have been arrested (in Padarayanapura) and have been taken into custody. The people attacked the officials who had gone to quarantine some poeple who were the primary and secondary contacts of three COVID-19 patients," a police officer said.

A large number of people, mostly youth from the minority community poured on to the road on Sunday and thrashed the health workers who had gone to quarantine some people who were the primary and secondary contacts of the health workers.

The officials were allegedly beaten black and blue.

Some local residents who went to the rescue of these officials were also thrashed.

According to police, one among the arrested is a woman by name Firoza who had allegedly instigated the mob to attack the health and police officials.

Subsequently, a large number of police personnel were deployed in the area to avert any untoward incident and to quarantine those who are suspected to be infected with COVID- 19.

Blowing sirens, a strong contingent of policemen carried out a flag march in the area.

The Bengaluru police commissioner Bhaskar Rao later called on Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa and briefed him about the situation in Padayarayanapura.

The violent incident drew angry reactions from various quarters.

Karnataka Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai said an incident like the one at Padayarayanapura will not be tolerated.

"I met Chief Minister and briefed him about the incident. He has told us to act strictly. I have told the same to my officials. We won't tolerate such acts by anyone. We have arrested 59 people. Five FIRs have been registered," the minister told reporters.

Bommai, who visited the area took the senior police officials to task for not being present on the spot when the incident took place.

"Where were you? What were you doing when the incident happened?" he questioned a senior police officer.

"We will demonstrate to the people what is containment zone, what is seal down and what is police action," he said.

Condemning the incident, Health Minister B Srimulu warned those who indulged in such activities.

"The inhuman act of attacking police and health workers in Padarayanapura is highly deplorable. Our government will take appropriate step against those indulging in the attack on health officials and police officials who had gone there to protect them," he tweeted.

BJP's firebrand MP Shobha Karandlaje reacted sharply.

"Seculars attack #CoronaWarriors when they were quarantining the secondary contacts of #Covid19 in Padarayanapura of BLR. While #HealthcareHeroes are working overnight to contain #CoronaPandemic, these morons are assaulting our heroes! Let's not be soft on these anti- nationals!" Karandlaje tweeted.

Meanwhile, the minority leaders called on Congress state president D K Shivakumar to persuade the people of the minority community to assist in identifying the COVID-19 patients or carriers.

Former chief minister H D Kumaraswamy too condemned the attack and demanded stringent action against the culprits.

The Congress MLA from the area B Z Zameer Ahmed Khan while condemning the incident, sought to know why the health workers and police officials went to the area late in the night and not in the morning.

"Why did the police and the health workers go in the night when I had told the BBMP Commissioner that I will take them at 10 am?" Khan told reporters.

Defending those who attacked the government officials, Khan said they were uneducated labourers who didn't know what they were doing.

Padarayanapura and Bapuji Nagar were among the first areas to be completely sealed as people were not abiding by the prohibitory orders under Section 144 of the CrPC.
