Mangaluru, Jul 8: Thousands of grief-stricken men and women, most of them activists of Sangh Parivar on Saturday bid a tearful adieu to Sharath Madivala, a 28-year-old RSS activist, who breathed his last at a hospital in Mangaluru last night after losing his three-day long fight for life.

The mortal remains of Sharath was taken from Mangaluru to his home town, Sajipa Munnur, in Bantwal taluk in a procession by thousands of Hindutva activists in spite of the enforcement of the prohibitory orders under Section 144 of Criminal Procedure Code across the district.

The procession caused chaos in BC Road, wherein some miscreants pelted stones at shops and vehicles belonging to a minority community. However, police managed to bring the situation under control by resorting to minor baton charge.

Tribute by Kalladka Bhat

In spite of the opposition by police, the mortal remains were kept for public viewing for a few minutes in front of the ‘Udaya Laundry’ in BC Road where Sharath was stabbed by the three unidentified miscreants on July 4.

Tears rolled down the eyes of RSS stalwart Prabhakar Bhat and his wife when they entered the ambulance and paid floral tribute to the mortal remains of the young and innocent ‘karyakarta’ of the Sangh. The mourners, who had gathered on both sides of the road too paid an emotional tribute to the departed soul by repeatedly chanting ‘Sharath Amar Rahe’.

Final rites

The funeral rites of Sharath took place at a garden located in front of his house at Kandur in Sajipa Munnur after an hour-long public viewing in the village. Thaniyappa Madivala, the victim’s father, lit the pyre in the presence of thousands of mourners and Sangh Parivar leaders.

After the cremation, a mourning meet was also held in the village. RSS leader Na Seetharam, speaking on the occasion urged the people not to lose their patience and to face the situation bravely. He said that society needed thousands of ‘patriots’ like Sharath.

Father breaks silence

A shell-shocked father blamed his own fate while expressing anger towards the government, which according to him failed to catch the real culprits.
“This is my bad luck. My son Sharath always helped me and tried to solve my problems. He was a hard worker. He never troubled anybody. People had a good opinion of him,” he said.

“The government is not capable of punishing the culprits. The killers will walk free within six months after their arrest,” he complained.

COVID-19: Plasma Therapy likely to begin in Karnataka from April 25

News Network

April 24,2020

Bengaluru, Apr 24: Karnataka is likely to start Convalescent Plasma Therapy for COVID-19 patients, who are critical, from tomorrow, Medical Education Minister K Sudhakar said here on on Friday. "We have already got approval for Convalescent Plasma Therapy.

There is no need for any special permission for it....when I was in BMC (Bangalore Medical College) I spoke to We may probably start it for the first patient from tomorrow itself. The donor has also agreed," Sudhakar said.

Speaking to reporters here, he said the convalescent Plasma Therapy was only for patients who are critical, in Intensive Care Units or on ventilator. According to the latest update, five COVID-19 patients are in ICUs in the state.

After attending video conferencing by Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan with health and medical education Ministers of all states, Sudhakar said the Minister lauded the good practices adopted by Karnataka in its fight against COVID-19 and asked to share the same with other states.

Responding to a question, he made it clear that COVID-19 is something that was not going to end by May 3 or by May end and like other viruses, would continue to exist. Sudhakar, who is leading the government's efforts against COVID-19 in Bengaluru and is in charge of the state war room, said many people are treating corona as a social stigma, which was not right.

There was no reason to get frightened about it as the infection can be cured, he said. "We have to take precautions so that it doesn't spread further....like fever, cold and cough- corona also can be cured... 97% people it can be cured, those with comorbidity and those above 60 years have to take some precautions. We have to bring in certain changes in our lifestyle and maintain social distancing," he added.
