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.

1saffronData 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.

In a video, the police personnel can be seen thrashing the people with batons while they were leaving after offering prayers at a local mosque here.
In another incident in Rajasthan's Pratapgarh, the police made few youngsters hop along a road and even gave the 'murga,' punishment to a few of them for violating the restrictions.
Similarly in Uttar Pradesh's Budaun, the police made people hop along a road with their bags strapped on their backs as a punishment. The people were possibly going to their native places.
In the video of the Budaun incident, a few men can be seen being made to hop along the road with a stick-wielding policeman keeping a watch.
SSP Budaun told ANI that an investigation is being conducted into the incident and expressed an apology for the police's behaviour.

Bengaluru, Jun 3: Lack of awareness on rail travel norms led to a tense situation on a Karnataka train as a female passenger was forced to disembark midway after her fellow passengers raised a hue and cry on seeing her knuckle stamped, mistaking it for a quarantine stamp, an official said on Tuesday.

"Many passengers on the train with the woman raised a hue and cry on seeing her stamped and complained to the TTE. She was later disembarked at Tumkur," a South Western Railway (SWR) zone official said.

The woman was travelling from Bengaluru to Belagavi as a transit passenger. Her status as such a passenger was stamped on her knuckle.

However, after some time, her fellow passengers observed her stamped hand and misunderstood that she was violating the quarantine norms.

Without realising that she was just a transit passenger who will be quarantined on reaching her destination, they created pandemonium and complained to the travelling ticket inspector.

"Following the public pressure, she was forcibly disembarked in Tumkur station," said the official.

Incidentally, the railways allows transit passengers to travel.

The official said the TTE would not have been aware of the rules and must have yielded to the passengers' pressure.

Later, the woman was allowed to board another train and reach her destination, the official said.
