Udupi, Feb 21: Amit Shah and Yeddyurappa, the national and state presidents of Bharatiya Janata Party on Tuesday held interactions with seers and mutt heads form undivided Dakshina Kannada district at Sri Rama Vittala Hall on the premises of Pejawar Mutt here.

 Vishwesha Tirtha Swami of Pejawar Mutt, Vidyadheesha Tirtha Swami of Paryaya Palimar Mutt and about 15 seers participated in the dialogue. MPs Nalin Kateel and Shobha Karandlaje, Karkala MLA V. Sunil Kumar, Santosh, Mattar Ratnakar Hegde, T.V. Hegde, and other BJP leaders, were also present.

Though the topic of the dialogue was ‘Hindu religion and culture’ they also reportedly discussed about the political angle.

The press was not allowed to cover the dialogue. After the meeting, speaking to presspersons, Vishwesha Tirtha Swami of Pejawar Mutt said that he had told Mr. Shah that all communities should be treated equally.

There should not be any favouritism. Programmes such as Shadi Bhagya and the control of mutts were not desirable, he said.

There should not be one policy for the majority community and another for the minority community. Both the majority and minority communities should be treated equally, he said.

Yet another suggestion given by him was to resolve the Mahadayi river dispute out of court. He said that the Union government should take the initiative to resolve the dispute. If the Congress failed to respond, it would have to take the blame, the seer said.

The seer said that he gave his suggestions to all the parties. “Even if AICC president Rahul Gandhi comes here tomorrow, I will give him my suggestions. But it is up to the political parties to either accept or reject them,” he said.

Asked if the issues of Ram Temple or anti-cow slaughter came up for discussion, the seer said that these issues were not discussed due to lack of time.

For a religious leader meeting in closed rooms is not a respectfull behaviour. Religious shouldn't mile or involve in any political acticity or they support. Theit duty is only preaching and advising every one to follow the path if truth. AttendIng close door meeting the a national criminal is not a wise act now it will hurt  the majority people. Who ever it may be which ever party they may be let them come for worship. Rest all their politial activity all out side the worship place. Now very soon people from all corners will object and start commenting .This is what godse group want to create.  So don't respond or support such dirty creatures.

Bengaluru, Jun 29: The results of second pre-university and the Secondary School Leaving Certificate examination results will be out by July last week and August first week, Karnataka Primary and Secondary Education Minister S Suresh Kumar said on Monday.

Instead of giving general promotion to the 10th and 12th standard students as the Central Board of Secondary Education and other states have done, the Karnataka government decided to hold the examination defying the coronavirus scare.

"We are trying to get the SSLC results out by the first week of August.The PUC results will be out in the last week of July," the minister told reporters in Bengaluru.

Amid reports of schools increasing the school fees ignoring the government's direction, the minister said he has got reports that 1,150 schools have increased their fees of which action has been taken against 450 schools.

"We have directed all the schools not to increase the fees in view of the coronavirus scare.

It is a peculiar year.Humanity says no one should increase fees.

We have set up a helpline. If we come across such practices, we will initiate action," Kumar said.

He said an officer has been entrusted to look into the complaints against schools.

Speaking about online classes for kindergarten students, the minister said such classes are not allowed.

The schools can hold talks with parents twice a week about grooming their children.

Kumar said a decision on opening kindergarten schools will be taken after July 5.

He, however, conceded that most parents are unwilling to send their children to school.

The government is gathering the opinion of parents based on which a decision would be taken, he added.

Regarding education to students from Class one to Class 10, Kumar said the Centre has given guidelines, which will be followed.

The state has formed an expert committee to recommend guidelines on education to children from Class I to Class six.

"Once the committee report comes, we will formulate regulations," Kumar added.

Bengaluru, Jul 2: Karnataka government has issued a show-cause notice to 18 private hospitals for refusing to admit a 52-year-old patient with influenza-like illness (ILI) symptoms, who later died.

According to the notice dated on June 30, a 52-years patient named Bhawarlal Sujani died after he was denied admission by 18 private hospitals.

The patient was taken to these hospitals on Saturday and Sunday for admission on observing some ILI like symptoms. But none of these hospitals admitted in on the pretext of unavailability of bed/ventilators, read the notice.

This is a clear violation of providing medical assistance and admission necessitated under the agreed provision of KPME Registration. They should strictly adhere to the provisions under Sections 11 & 11 A of KPME Act 2017. Private Medical Establishments cannot deny/ refuse/ avoid treatment to patients with Covid-19 and Covid-19 like symptoms, the state Health Department said.

By denying the admission to the deceased patient, your hospitals have violated the provisions of the above-said act. You are liable for legal action in this regard, as per the notice.

The state Health department asked the hospitals to reply as to why action should not be initiated under the relevant Acts.
