February 18, 2016

Shivamogga, Feb 18: The Lokayukta court, on Wednesday, issued summons to six people including BJP national vice-president B S Yeddyurappa and his daughter B S Arunadevi on charges of obtaining Karnataka Housing Board (KHB) sites under journalist quota.

yeddi The six accused have been directed to appear before the court for the hearing on March 18. Yeddyurappa had reportedly recommended KHB to allot sites bearing the numbers 44, 45, 57 and 58, at Kallahalli near Vinobanagar in Shivamogga under journalist quota to the four employees of his institution during his tenure as deputy chief minister in 2007. Following this, KHB allotted sites to the employees, namely Krishna, Sandesh Gowda, Manjunath and Shivashankar, without even taking applications from them. Later, all the four sites were registered in the name of Arunadevi.

Shivamogga-based advocate Vinod had filed a complaint before the Lokayukta court, questioning the allotment, in 2012. The Lokayukta police submitted a ‘B’ report, after conducting the inquiry for seven months. The advocate filed objections to it. The court rejected the ‘B’ report and directed the accused to appear before it.

Dropping Tipu Sultan from Class 7 textbook is a communally motivated move: SDPI

July 30,2020

Mangaluru, July 30: The Social Democratic Party of India has condemned the move by the state government to drop a lesson on legendary Mysuru rulers Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan from the class 7 textbook.

The Department of Public Instruction has omitted the chapter from the textbooks of Class 7 in their attempt to reduce syllabus for state board schools by 30 per cent.

The department, however, has decided to retain similar chapters on Tipu Sultan in 6th and 10th Classes, though the syllabus in text books for all classes from 1 to 10th has been trimmed.

In a media release statement, SDPI State President Ilyas Mohammed Thumbe termed the move as communally motivated. “By dropping the lesson, the BJP-led government is engaged in saffronisation of education,” he alleged.

He said that Tipu was the most prominent freedom fighter, who had given priority to irrigation, rocket technology and harmony. The BJP government is also planning to scrap lessons on the Constitution, secularism and democracy. By twisting history, the BJP is trying to mislead the younger generation, he added.
