Kalaburgi, Nov 3: Sri Ram Sena chief Pramod Muthalik was detained in Kalaburagi as a preventive measure on Thursday after he participated in a protest condemning the arrest of Siddalinga Swami, honorary president of the Sri Ram Sena and head of Karuneshwar Mutt at Andola in Jewargi taluk in the district. Siddalinga Swami, was recently arrested for thrashing a Muslim man.

Senior police officials suddenly rushed into the Kannada Bhavan and detained Mr. Muthalik when he was trying to organise a meeting with the chiefs of different mutts ahead of his visit to Jewargi taluk after a communal violence rocked the town last week.

However, Mr. Muthalik refused to go with the police and said that there were no pending cases against him. “It is a political conspiracy against me by the Congress leaders and the district administration,” he said. Police sources said that Mr. Muthalik, detained in a preventive move to stop him from fomenting further trouble in the district, was released later.

Earlier, members of the sena took out a rally from the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Chowk to the Deputy Commissioner’s office and submitted a memorandum demanding the release of Siddalinga Swami.

Mr. Muthalik, addressing the protesters, said that the Congress government was supporting the Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI), All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) and other organisations to gain minority votes. He criticised the State government for not giving a fitting answer to the organisations supporting terrorists.

Bengaluru, Jan 10: The National Commission for Scheduled Tribes (NCST), which met with officials of the Social Welfare Department Thursday, has urged the state government to increase the reservation provided to the ST community.

The Commission's suggestion comes even as a committee headed by Justice Nagamohan Das is currently studying a demand for increase of reservation for the community from the existing 3% to 7.5%.

Addressing mediapersons on Thursday, Commission Chairperson Nand Kumar Sai, said the Commission had discussed the issue with the Social Welfare Department, Karnataka, asking officials to expedite the process.

In response to this suggestion, Social Welfare Department Principal Secretary G Kumar Naik said the government would take a call based on the Nagamohan Das Committee's report.

A meeting was held between members of the National ST Commission and the Social Welfare Department Thursday with regard to various projects taken up by the department.

In June last year, the then Kumaraswamy-led coalition government constituted the Justice Nagamohan Das Committee, after protests from members of the Valmiki community for an increase in reservation to 7.5%. At present, Karnataka provides 15% reservation for SCs, 3% for STs and 32% for other backward classes (OBC).

The national commission also urged the state government to ensure permanent faculty in all the 824 residential institutions run by the department. At present, as much as 50% of the faculty in these institutions have been hired on a contractual basis. "We have assured that the recruitment will be done in a short time," Naik told mediapersons.

Locust is a type of grasshoppers and moves in large numbers and devastates crops. Several parts of Rajasthan including Ganganagar have reported locust attacks.
