Cong govt forcing cops to arrest innocent Hindutva leaders: VHP

Udupi, Oct 12: Members of the Hindu Jagrana Vedike (HJV) and the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) staged a dharna in front of the Deputy Commissioner’s office here on Wednesday against what they termed as “anti-Hindu” policies of the Congress-led State government and against the arrest of leaders and activists of Hindutva groups.

In a memorandum addressed to the Governor and submitted at the Deputy Commissioner’s office, these organisations said that the State government, led by the Congress, was obstructing the social and religious activities of the majority Hindu community. It was forcing the police to arrest innocent activists of the Hindutva groups.

There was an undeclared Emergency in the coastal districts. There were systematic attempts to snatch the rights of the Hindus. The government had placed restrictions on Jagadish Karanth, Regional Organising Secretary of Hindu Jagrana Vedike, from attending Hindu conventions.

The activists of the Hindutva groups were prevented by the personnel of police and forest departments from purifying the statue of Deyi Baideti, the mother of the legendary heroes of Tulu Nadu, Koti-Chennayya, which had been earlier defiled in Dakshina Kannada district. This was nothing but an assault on the democratic rights of the citizens.

B. Ramanath Rai, Minister for Forests and Environment, had openly directed the police to foist cases against RSS leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat and get him arrested. The police had raided the houses of leaders of pro-Hindu groups who had tried to stop untoward incidents during the funeral procession of the RSS worker, Sharath Madivala, who was murdered in Dakshina Kannada recently. Instead of taking action against cow slaughterers, the government was targeting cow protectors, the memorandum said.

If you advocate   HINDUTWA for the whole country by force,  then you are not INNOCENT.

You are committing attrocities, you can be criminal.

If you want true Hindu, then preach its ideology, but dont force it on others.

First yourself Follow what is in the Geetha. set an example. Your example is better than preaching.

Then preach others.

Nanded, May 24: In a sensational incident, a Lingayat seer from Karnataka was found murdered in his mutt in the Nanded district of Marathwada region of Maharashtra on Sunday.

The seer, who was strangled to death, has been identified as Shivacharya Nirvanarudra Pashupatinath Maharaj, the founder-spiritual head of Nirvanji Pashupatinath Mutt.

Addressing media persons, Nanded Superintendent of Police Vijaykumar Magar, the prime suspect, Sainath Langote first killed his accomplice Bhagwan Shinde and then went to the ashram late on Saturday.

He entered Shivaharya Maharaj's bedroom where he was resting and threw chilli powder in his eyes, blinding him.

Then he quickly grabbed cash of Rs 69,000, his laptop and other valuables in the bedroom worth approximately Rs.1.50 lakh, besides the seer's car keys.

As Shivacharya Maharaj attempted to grapple with him, Langote pinned him down and strangled him, then dragged his body to the sadhu's car parked outside and dumped it into the boot.

"He started the car and sped off towards the road outside, but the car crashed into the main gate of the ashram creating a noise, alerting the other sevaks sleeping inside the ashram," Magar said.

Around 8-10 other ashram sevaks rushed outside to check the ruckus and when they saw their seer's belongings and his body in the car trunck, they attempted to stop Langote, but he gave them the slip.

A short distance away, Langote managed to steal a motorbike and sped off into the darkness and hours later, the police found the body of his accomplice Shinde from a nearby school premises, Magar said.

In view of the sensitivity of the incident, Magar said around five crack teams were formed which fanned out into the district and managed to catch Langote this afternoon.

"The prima facie motive for the seer's murder was clearly robbery and the second killing could be due to rivalry or some differences among them. The absconder suspect has been caught by a police team. We will interrogate him and get further details of the crime," Magar said.

Nanded Congress strongman and PWD Minister Ashok Chavan appealed that the murder should not be politicized, since the police investigations are underway and the autopsy report is awaited.

He said the deceased sadhu belonged to the Lingayat caste, and both Shinde and Langote who belonged to the same community were his followers.

Shivacharya Maharaj had come to Nanded over a decade ago and set up the ashram which he ran along with a band of followers.

Bengaluru, Aug 7: Amid the rising number of COVID-19 cases in Karnataka, the state's health department issued fresh guidelines for the disposal of bodies of COVID patients.

"Although an increased risk of COVID infection from a dead body to health workers or family members who follow standard precautions while handling the body is unlikely, the lack of scientific data requires the utmost care to avoid the inadvertent spread of COVID-19 during these times," the statement from the health department's press release read, emphasising on the dignity of the dead and the religious and cultural tradition.

The 23-page press release elaborated on guidelines regarding testing, handling of dead bodies and other specificities in relation to the management of COVID-19 bodies.

"Testing should not be insisted in every case of death, but only when they have a recorded history of influenza-like symptoms. The body should be handed over to the family members/ relatives in a dignified manner immediately after swab collection and hospitals should provide handouts with a list of dos and don'ts in English and Kannada laying down relevant information," the statement said.

It added, "At the mortuary, health care workers, mortuary staff and the family of the deceased body shall not come in direct contact with the dead body and must wear full personal protective equipment (PPE). If the family or relative are for any reason unable to cremate or bury the body, the local health authority shall arrange for the dignified last rites as per the religious traditions of the family."

Regarding autopsies (post mortem) on COVID-19 bodies, the state department said that they should be avoided, except in necessary circumstances.

The statement also gave detailed guidelines regarding the appropriate recording of COVID-19 deaths in line with the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) guidelines.

Additionally, the health department made a statement about the admission procedure for COVID positive patients referred by other district administrations saying, "It is now mandatory for all the referrals from the BBMP admission and discharge of COVID positive patients to be done through the online COVID Hospital Bed Management System (CHBMS)."

The state's count of coronavirus cases was 1,51,449 in the past 24 hours.

So far, a total of 2,804 people have died due to COVID-19 in the state, while the average recovery rate in Karnataka is 49.3 per cent.
