Bengaluru, Jun 21: Condemning the brutal killing of one of its activists in Bantwal taluk of Dakshina Kannada district on Wednesday, the Karnataka state unit of the Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) has urged the government to take necessary steps to book all the accused in the case under Unlawful Activities Prevention Act and immediately release compensation to the kin of the victim.

Ashraf Kalai, SDPI’s Ammunje Zonal Unit President, was killed earlier in the day at Padmunje village in Bantwal taluk hours after he took part in flag-hoisting ceremony on the occasion of the party’s foundation Day. After the party function, Ashraf with other party workers had engaged in filling potholes with stones on Kalayi road, which had become nuisance to the passersby.

In a release issued here, Abdul Majeed, State General Secretary of SDPI, stated that the murder of Ashraf Kalai was a perfectly planned act by the communal goons. “It is to be noted that the Sangh Parivar has been busy plotting to create communal riots during elections and minority festivals which have led to communal tension and several murders. Recently there has been unrest in coastal Karnataka due to communal disharmony,” he said.

“The Karnataka cabinet ministers have openly stated that the RSS leader Kalladka Prabhakar is directly responsible for the riots. Non-arrest and punishment to the seer of hatred Prabhakar Bhat, who has a dozens of criminal cases against him, is the main reason that the coastal region witnesses communal unrest very often,” he added.

Mr Majeed further said that in order to establish permanent peace in the coastal Karnataka, which enjoys a fame for quality of education, health and commerce, Hindu, Muslim and Christians and other communities should join hands and work together continuously. SDPI, along with Police Department and peace loving citizens has been at actively playing its role in creating and maintaining a harmonious atmosphere in the regioin.

He urged the authorities to immediately arrest the killers of Ashraf and slap UAPA against them. “Non-punishment to the goons of Sangh Parivar is the main reason for frequent murders in the region. SDPI appeals to the Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to immediately release a compensation of Rs 30 lakh to the family of the deceased,” he said.

He told media, “I have spoken to Shivakumar and informed him to conduct the event after taking precautionary measures against the spread of the COVID-19 disease”.

The move came after the state government received flak from the main Opposition Congress leaders, for refusing to permit the newly elected State Congress president to have a formal swearing-in function take reigns from his predecessor Dinesh Gundu Rao.

Bengaluru, Jul 20: Janata Dal (Secular) leader HD Kumaraswamy has urged the Karnataka government to stop putting warning signboards in front of COVID-19 patients' houses alleging that they are leading to "social discrimination and untouchability" in the present times.

"A local government warning signboards in front of the homes of COVID-19 infected people is leading to neo-social discrimination and untouchability in the new age. Even after infection, the individual and family should live with dignity. The government should immediately stop the practice of placing signboards," Kumaraswamy's first tweet read.

"Instead of placing them in front of their homes and creating untouchability, send health workers to their homes to create courage and awareness. They should be told not to leave the house. There is no such degrading practice left behind. I would like to ask Chief Minister Karnataka BS Yediyurappa to pay attention to this," he added.

The former chief minister further said that threatening to cancel the licenses of medical colleges for refusing treatment to patients would not solve the problem and urged the government to take them into confidence instead of rebuking them.

"Refusing treatment is the fault of any hospital. But for the same reason, threatening to cancel government medical college licenses is not right. There is no profit in this emergency of health. MCI also has the power to revoke the licenses of medical colleges. Remember not the government," he said.

"In this case, the government should look to the Medical Colleges to get their services in order to get them to trust them instead of getting angry. Let them focus on meeting their needs. I insist on a collective fight against the coronavirus through this," he further added.

The COVID-19 count in Karnataka reached 63,772 on Sunday, including 39,370 active cases and 23,065 cured and discharged patients.
