Responding to queries of media persons in the city on Tuesday Mr Khader said that he was deeply hurt by Mr Poojary's comment blaming the State government and Chief Minister Siddaramaiah for the police action against agitating farmers in Navalgund.

Mr Khader said that the State government and the Chief Minister are not at fault with regard to the interim order of the tribunal. “It is because of the Union government that the interim order went against us,” he alleged.

“Mr. Poojary's shouldn't have said that the State government and Mr. Siddaramaiah will suffer for police “excesses” on farmers agitating against the interim order of Mahadayi Water Tribunal.

“Why we should suffer for the fault of union government? Our CM is yet to come out of grief for the loss of his son. It is sad to hear such words from a senior leader,” he lamented.

Moreover, Mr. Khader said, when the decision of the tribunal came, Mr. Siddaramaiah was attending to his ailing son in Belgium, who ultimately passed away.

Mr. Khader said that farmers staged a protest in Navalgund. Some anti-social elements who joined the protest set court records on fire and threw stones at some public buildings for which the police took action. There have been some “excesses” by the police for which Home Minister G. Parameshwara has expressed regret. The Chief Minister has ensured that farmers against whom cases were registered obtained bail.

Claiming to be unaware of the directive of District Congress unit chief asking Mr. Poojary not to hold press meetings at the party office, Mr. Khader said that Mr. Poojary was among the three Congress leaders who have built the party in the region since 1980.

“It is because of Mr. Poojary that we have our party office in Hampankatta,” he said. Mr. Poojary was just advising the party and his statements cannot be construed as anti-party activity, Mr. Khader said.

ASHAs protest demanding PPE kits, salary hike enters 14th day in Karnataka

News Network

July 24,2020

Shivamogga, Jul 24: The protest by Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHA) under the All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC) entered its 14th day on Friday demanding personal protective equipment (PPE) kits and a salary of at least Rs 12,000 per month.

They have been protesting in different parts of Karnataka since July 10.

Staging a protest in front of the deputy commissioner's office, the ASHA workers complained of the government turning a deaf ear to their problems.

Clad in their signature pink saris, they raised slogans to demand appropriate salary for their work and the necessary equipment to protect them from the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak.

They said that they worked tirelessly during the COVID-19-induced lockdown without any safety. The department only provided them with sub-standard equipment to combat the deadly virus. All they were asking for is a basic pay of Rs 12,000 against the current pay of Rs 6,000.

Prema, an ASHA said, "The authorities are praising our work, clapping for us and showering flowers on us but are not listening to our grievances."
