Bengaluru, Mar 9: Lokayukta Justice P Vishwanath Shetty, who was stabbed by Tejraj Sharma, has told members of his family that the attacker did not even give him any time to react and, stabbed him.

Justice Shetty's son Shashi Kiran Shetty, senior counsel at High Court of Karnataka, told DH that his father told him on Thursday that he was no way connected with the complaints filed by Sharma.

"His complaint subjects does not fall under my jurisdiction. Lokayukta, Upalokayukta and assistant registrar have different jurisdictions. Basically he (Sharma) has some grievance that his complaint was closed. He came to have a discussion. Soon after entering, he started attacking me. I tried to defend myself,'' Shashikiran said quoting his father.

My father told me that, what evil caused him (Sharma) to take such step as there was no cause or reason. Was there something more than his grievance?. "Can anyone go to such an extreme extent for not given any chance, my father asked me,'' stated Shashikiran.

He said that, his mother Shakuntala V Shetty was still under shock and slowly recovering after she spoke to his father.

The police are yet to record the statement of Justice Shetty. Members of his family said that they are not hiring any Special Public Prosecutor.

Honorable Judge should recall if he has given any judgement against the powerful lobby.

 

No one attacks nowadays without reason.

Bengaluru, Jul 31: Gyms in Bengaluru carried out sanitation work on Thursday following the Centre's nod to reopen gyms from August 5, after several weeks of COVID-induced lockdowns.

"We are taking all the precautionary measures prescribed by the government and will follow the guidelines very strictly. A thermal scanner, oximeter and hand sanitizers have been placed at the entrance of the gym. 

We request all other gym owners also to follow the guidelines strictly to keep their members safe and healthy," said Prasad Kumar, a gym owner in Bangalore.

He added, "The last few months have been very difficult for us gym owners and fitness instructors. We are very grateful to the government for allowing us to re-open. 

We are going to be very cautious when we open. Even before this COVID-19 pandemic, we used to sanitise all the equipment before and after every use so hopefully, this won't be too difficult for us. We are getting rid of the air conditioners to allow cross ventilation and open the space a little more."

According to Chandu Gowda, an actor and frequenter of the gym, working out at home was not the same as working out in the gym with the proper equipment.

"I'm very glad that I get to come back and work out as I used to before this lockdown. For an actor, working out is extremely important, not just for my physical health but also mental health. 

Doing exercises at home is never as good as exercising in a space dedicated to one purpose. I hope other members of the gym follow the rules and regulations religiously," Gowda said.

New Delhi, Feb 24: A book on the history of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will become a part of a course in the Islamic University of Indonesia, as the party’s two consecutive victories in India’s general elections has evoked interest among academicians, a faculty member said.

The book, titled Bhartiya Janata Party — Past, Present & Future, Story of World’s Largest Political Party and written by Shantanu Gupta, will become a part of the syllabus for undergraduate students of South Asian studies in the Department of International Relations.

Hadza Min Fadhli, a faculty member at the university, said there was a rising interest in the BJP’s rise among academicians in Indonesia, especially after the party won two general elections in India.

He said the book would be part of the syllabus for undergraduate courses in South Asian studies in the Department of International Relations.

Mr. Hadza said he got to know about the book during a recent visit to India as part of the Kautilya Fellowship programme, organised by the India Foundation. “We in Indonesia intend to further strengthen our relations with India. Therefore, it is important to understand its ruling party. We expect the BJP would also intend to do the same,” Mr. Hadza said.

When asked about the book being selected to be a part of a course in an Indonesian university, Mr. Gupta said global recognition of his work is immensely satisfying.

This book chronicles the history of the BJP which, Mr. Gupta said, described the saffron party as the latest political manifestation of the various nationalist movements that the country has seen.

Mr. Gupta has authored five other books, including a biography of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and a book on football in India.
