Mangaluru, Jun 29: The Hindutva hardliners have upped the ante against Sri Vishwesha Teertha, the chief pontiff of Paryaya Pejawar Mutt for hosting an iftar meet at Krishna temple during Ramadan and promoting communal harmony.

In a joint press meet on Thursday Sri Ram  Sena and Hindu Maha Sabha accused the senior pontiff of betraying Hindu activists fighting for Hindutva by feeding Muslims in Krishna Temple and allowing them to offer namaz.

They have demanded the Seer to step down from the Paryaya peetha and hand over power to his next successor. "Age is catching up with the Seer. It's high time for him to retire. He should seek apology with Hindus for his act," they demanded. "This is a political gimmick as elections are round the corner," alleged Praveen Walke, state general secretary of the Sene.

Walke pointed out they are not against Muslim community, but organsing an Iftar get-together without consulting any Hindu leader has hurt their sentiments. "If the seer started organising Iftar decades ago, there wouldn't have communal disharmony among Hindus and Muslims. After the Ram Mandir and Babri Masjid issue, there is a misunderstanding between both the communities," noted Walke.

They also demanded similar gesture from Muslims to foster amity by allowing them inside Mosque for chanting bhajans and insisted Pejwar seer should arrange for it.

Walke termed that seers and religious leaders were responsible for destroying the future young Hindu youths in the name of Hinduism.

Pointing out at the recent Kalladka violence, they said this is the outcome of how Hindu youths are used by religious leaders. Dharmendra, state spokesperson of Hindu Maha Sabha alleged that Iftar inside temple is to score brownie points politically. He said that five years ago when Congress leader Janardhan Poojary celebrated Iftar in Kudroli Temple, BJP condemned and protested but there was silence this time.

Sri Rama Sene will hold protest condemning Sri Vishvesha Teertha organising Iftar in temple, on July 2.

Bengaluru, Mar 10: With concerns growing by the day, the Karnataka government is readying three more labs to test throat swab samples.

Currently, only two labs in Bengaluru — National Institute of Virology and Virus Research and Diagnostics Laboratory (VRDL) lab attached to Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute — are categorised biosafety level 2+, a requirement for coronavirus tests.

Now, the government is working on upgrading three more labs, one each in the government medical colleges at Hassan, Mysuru and Shivamogga. “The labs will be ready within one week,” the authorities said.

Currently, the labs are testing only throat swab samples of suspected patients and taking 24 hours to give the results. “A patient’s blood sample will be collected only if he or she tests positive for covid-19 infection in the first throat swab sample.

While earlier the state would send all samples of suspected coronavirus cases to NIV, Pune, the two labs were upgraded to biosafety level 2+ in mid-February.

Mangaluru, Jan 13: Supporting former state chief minister and JD(S) leader HD Kumaraswamy who released a "CD on the December 19 Mangaluru violence", Dakshina Kannada party unit president Mohammed Kunhi on Monday demanded a probe into the violence.

Mr Kumaraswamy, who released 35 video clips related to the violence, had demanded the suspension of the Police Commissioner and also sought a house committee to probe the incident.

Addressing media personnel here, Kunhi questioned, "If the police department did not commit any mistake why is the state government looking worried about the CDs released by Kumaraswamy?"
