Jeddah/Kalaburgi, Oct 22: Nearly three weeks after he died of cardiac arrest in Kingdom Saudi Arabia, the body of Shaikapur Gudappa Hanumantaraya, an expatriate worker from Kumbada village of Jevargi Taluk in Kalaburagi district of Karnataka, was repatriated to his hometown, where the aggrieved family members conducted his final rites.

The family members have thanked the local leaders of Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) and activists of Indian Social Forum (ISF), Jeddah for their selfless efforts in repatriating the body after the elected representatives from Kalaburgi refused to intervene in the case.

Hanumantaraya breathed his last at a private hospital in the Arab kingdom on September 27, 2018. The helpless family members had requested help from district administration, local Member of Parliament, to bring the mortal remains to India for the final rites, but in vain.  

The local leaders of SDPI, who came to know the through the media, met the aggrieved family at their residence and assured them to extend all possible help to bring the mortal remains to the hometown. They then contacted the activists of ISF, Jeddah unit and explained the gravity of the issue.

The Karnataka state unit president of ISF, Jeddah, Mohammed Ali Muloor along with Haris Goodinabali took up the matter with priority and acted on it. They visited hospital to collect information and approached to the company in Jeddah where the deceased had worked and started to process documents for repatriation.

Since there was no relative of the deceased in Jeddah, Kavitha wife of deceased had to issue power of attorney in the name of Mohammed Ali to complete the formalities to dispatch the dead body to India. Completing all formalities, the body of Hanumantaraya was dispatched on October 15 and it reached hometown very next day.

SDPI Kalaburgi district arranged the transportation of dead body from Hyderabad International Airport to Jevargi through the district administration. Local leaders of SDPI were present to receive the body.

In the wake of Saudi Arabia's assurance that Masjid al-Haram of Makkah and Masjid an-Nabawi of Madinah will be opened for believers after some days, a message has gone viral on social media claiming that both the holy mosques will open on Ramadan 8 (May 1).

The message which was widely circulated on Facebook and WhatsApp, also contained certain condition such as people should fetch their own prayer mats and that they should not use the washrooms in the mosques. 

Clarification

Meanwhile, the authorities of the two holy mosques, issued a clarification that the claims made in the viral post are false and baseless.

"The message being circulated about the opening date for Haramiain (two holy mosques) for public is completely baseless and false. The suspension of prayers for general public is still in effect," they said in a social media post.

Bengaluru, Mar 5: Karnataka chief minister BS Yediyurappa on Wednesday admitted in the legislative assembly that corruption was deep-rooted in government offices and held transfer racket as the root cause of the graft menace.

“Unless we root it out from the system, we can never uphold the spirit of the Constitution and ensure equitable justice to people. If legislators lend support (to this cause), then we can weed out this menace,” Yediyurappa said during a special discussion on the Constitution.

Successive governments have been accused by opposition parties of running a transfer racket, but there’s very little done to institute a probe or order a crackdown following the allegations.

The chief minister’s candid admission came after senior Congress MLA HK Patil, quoting a report from Amnesty International, said 63% of people in Karnataka give bribe to get their work done in government offices. The CM said he agreed with the report in toto.
