Bengaluru, Oct 21: Accusing the Congress party of disrespecting Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, BJP MP Tejasvi Surya on Monday said that not showing respect to patriots was the culture of India's grand old party.

Speaking at Gandhi Sankalp Yatra in Vijaynagar Assembly constituency, he said: "It is a great matter of pride for us that Savarkar is being considered for the Bharat Ratna award. Disrespecting patriots is the culture of the Congress."

"Savarkar is one of the greatest patriots the country has ever seen. Everyone who reads about him and his contributions will undoubtedly become a patriot," he added.

Surya also announced that he would conduct a march in all eight assembly constituencies in Bengaluru South Lok Sabha constituency.

"Our campaign is aimed at informing the public about cleanliness and health. The public will be sensitised about Swachch Bharat and Ayushman Bharat schemes," he said.

Mangaluru, Jun 3: Mangaluru MLA and former minister U T Khader has urged the state government and Dakshina Kannada district administration to take steps to facilitate the return of Indians stranded in foreign countries amid covid lockdown.

A delegation comprising Mr Khader, DCC President K Harish Kumar, and MLC Ivan D’Souza met District In-charge Minister Kota Srinivas Poojary and submitted a memorandum on Tuesday.

“Kannadigas who are working outside the state are in distress due to the lockdown. More than 50,000 people had uploaded applications on Seva Sindhu portal seeking permission to return to their villagers and are waiting for permission. With the authorities failing to take any decision, they are worried,” said the delegation.

The government should initiate measures to get them back and quarantine them, urged the delegation.

Mr Khader said, “Many workers stranded in foreign countries are eager to return home. The district administration should make arrangements to quarantine those returning from foreign countries and other states.

There are thousands of migrant labourers from Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand and Bihar stranded in DK. They are waiting to return to their families. The state government should facilitate their return journey, the delegation urged.

MLC Ivan D’Souza said, “Assistance should be provided to private bus staff, beedi workers, tailors, garage labourers and street vendors who are in distress. The price of Covid-19 tests in private laboratories should be reduced.”

The delegation informed that after Wenlock Hospital was converted into the designated COVID-19 hospital, poor patients are facing many inconveniences. A portion of the hospital should be earmarked for treating other patients, they said.
