Mangaluru, Oct 27: Accusing Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC) Commissioner Mohammed Nazeer and other officials of allowing cow slaughter at an abattoir in Kudroli, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Bajrang Dal have demanded immediate action against them.

The demand comes after information made available by MCC Health Officer Kamalamma in response to an RTI query filed by one Prathiba V. Shetty seeking month-wise breakup of animals slaughtered at the abattoir.

The officer classified the animals into dana (cattle), yemme (buffalo), kuri (sheep), and meke (goat). As many as 352 head of cattle were slaughtered in January, followed by 345 in February, 495 in March, 397 in April, 505 in May, 383 in July, 320 in August, and 356 in September. A total of 85,153 animals were slaughtered, of which a majority were sheep and goat.

VHP district secretary Sharan Pumpwell told reporters on Saturday that dana was nothing but cow. “Mr. Nazeer and other MCC officials have admitted to allowing slaughter of cows,” he said, adding that a complaint was filed with the Mangaluru North police on Thursday against Mr. Nazeer, Ms. Kamalamma and other MCC officials for violation of the Karnataka Prevention of Cow Slaughter and Cattle Preservation Act.

Mr. Pumpwell said they would meet Deputy Commissioner S. Sasikanth Senthil and Police Commissioner T.R. Suresh on Monday to reiterate their demand.

Denying the allegation, Mr. Nazeer said that it was not cows but bulls that were among the animals slaughtered at the abattoir. He said there was no question of allowing cow slaughter. He explained that following a complaint from Bajrang Dal activists, MCC personnel had checked the register maintained at the abattoir and found that it was bulls, not cows, that were slaughtered there. He said the health official had gone by the common usage of dana for bulls and failed to realise that the same term was used for cattle in the coastal region.

Mr. Nazeer added that a detailed explanation has been filed with the police.

Bengaluru, Apr 7: Former Minister and Leader of the Opposition Siddaramiah on Tuesday termed the shutting by private clinics in the state by doctors as an 'inhuman act'.

Taking to micro-blogging site Twitter, the Congress leader said due to the fear of Novel Coronavirus, the doctors have closed their private clinics, which was against their profession.

This has affected the people, especially those, who are suffering from other deceases. He urged Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa to intervene and resolve the issue immediately.

Despite the government instructions not to close down their clinics, the doctors have not been responding positively, Mr Siddaramaiah noted.

In this connection, the government should act seriously and give necessary warning to the doctors, to either open their clinics to serve the people, or face action, he added.

Kochi, Mar 2: The Vatican has rejected the second appeal by Sister Lucy Kalappura -- one of the nuns who protested against rape accused Bishop Franco Mulakkal -- against her expulsion from Franciscan Clarist Congregation (FCC).

In her plea, she had demanded that her version be heard and her expulsion from FCC revoked.

She was expelled from FCC for participating in public protests demanding the arrest of Franco Mulakkal in the nun rape case.

''I got a letter from Vatican which says my appeal has been rejected. But the rest of the letter is written in the Latin language. So after I understand it, I will respond," Sister Lucy told news agency.

''The authorities are contemptuous of those who make such complaints. That is why the letter is written in Latin. Sister Lucy would continue her legal fight in the courts,'' said George Moolechalil, who has been authorised by Sister Lucy to communicate with the media on her behalf.

A petition of Sister Lucy is still pending at Mananthavady Munsif Court at Wayanad that demands that she should not be expelled from the convent where she is staying.

Religious issues should be resolved within the guidelines of devine laws.

 

Unfortunately the Chrisitianity is no more in its originality.

The holy bible has been systematically abused and edited to the benefits of rulers.

 

 
The book has been contaminated with lots of editions.

 

People should search for truth and follow it.

 

Example, the religion never told to remain unmarried for priests or nuns.

They go against its teaching inveting their own idea against God's teaching.

Vatican is a corporate person.
