Congress-ruled Karnataka is third most communally sensitive state in India?

Bengaluru, Sep 4: Karnataka, which was once known as one of the peaceful states in India, is currently the third most communally sensitive state in country after Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra, according to the union ministry of home affairs.

1saffron Data collected by the ministry show that Congress-ruled Karnataka has seen 291 incidents of communal clashes that left 19 dead and 865 injured from 2013 to May 2016. Madhya Pradesh, Bihar and Gujarat follow Karnataka.

However, home ministry of Karnataka has rejected the perspective of union home ministry, which only considered the reported cases of communal clashes including minor ones and ignored the severity of some communal attacks reported in BJP ruled states.

Karnataka home minister G Parameshwara believes that this south Indian state is still known for peace and tranquillity. “There have been stray communal incidents in some parts of the state, but no single incident has ever turned into a catastrophe. Karnataka is not prone to communal violence," he said.

A senior Congress leader told Coastaldigest.com on condition of anonymity that communal forces backed by ruling party of India (Bharatiya Janata Party) have played key roles in most of the communal clashes reported in Karnataka. “They are trying to turn Karnataka into a communal tinderbox for political gains,” he said.

Additional director general of police (law and order) Alok Mohan highlighted the state's low or zero tolerance to communal incidents to say the numbers don't reflect the ground situation.

"In case of a communal incident, we first book a case and take immediate action to prevent outbreak of violence. This is why communal tension lasts barely a couple of hours in Karnataka. In many parts of the country, tension prevails for several days," he said.

With the stage getting ready for the 2018 assembly polls, political observers warn of a spike in communal incidents in the next two years.

Karnataka govt withdraws notification permitting extension of work hours in factories

News Network

June 12,2020

Bengaluru, June 12: The Karnataka government has withdrawn its notification that allowed factories to extend working hours up to 10 hours a day and 60 hours a week, with immediate effect.

The extension of work hours was from eight hours a day and 48 hours a week. On May 22, the government had exempted all the factories registered under the Factories Act, from the provisions of Section 51 (weekly hours) and Section 54 (daily hours), till August 21 subject to certain conditions.

"Whereas, having examined the provisions further, the Government of Karnataka now intends to withdraw the said notification," the state government in a fresh notification dated June 11 said.

It said, "Therefore, in exercise of the powers conferred under Section 5 of Factories Act, 1948 (Act No. 63 of 1948), the Government of Karnataka hereby withdraws the Notification dated 22-05-2020 with immediate effect."

According to the Karnataka Employers' Association, a petition was filed in the High Cour challenging the May 22 notification as "illegal, arbitrary and in violation" of Section 5 of the Factories Act which permits exemption from any of the provisions of the Factories Act only in case of Public Emergencies'.

During the course of hearing on June 11 an observation was made by the High Court, that it may have to quash the notification unless the government clarifies as to what is the 'Public Emergency' involved to enhance the working hours by exempting some provisions of the Factories Act, it said.

The court further observed that the government should make a submission on June 12 in this behalf. However, the government withdrew the notification on June 11 itself. Recently states like Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh too had retracted after permitting extending work hours.
