Mysuru, Jan 8: Karnataka Governor Vajubhai R Vala, who is known for his controversial statements, on Thursday advised the girls not to go to “as though they were going to a beauty contest”

valaSpeaking at the valedictory event of the Indian Science Congress here, Mr Vala who has a strong RSS background, expressed displeasure over college girls wearing lipstick and trimming their eyebrows.

Though boys and girls were equally intelligent, girls are more serious in studies than boys, he said. But, he said, there was no need for girls to be fashionable while attending college.

The Governor asked boys to guard themselves against falling prey to unhealthy addictions.

Mr. Vala said the present generation of children was very intelligent. “A small boy can repeat fluently an entire advertisement that he would have seen on TV sometime earlier. During our times, we were unable to understand lessons even if our teacher taught them thrice,” Mr. Vala said jocularly.

The present-day youth were scoring very high marks in exams, he said. “Securing 90 to 95 marks has become the norm now. When we were studying, such high marks would be the total of three years,” the Governor said in a lighter vein.

It is a inbuilt nature in girls and womens that they love to beautify themselves but it will be dangerous to her when she uncovers her beauty to all kind of men. Good men look other women in a respectable manner but there are bad men who look at different angle. So there is a hijab for women in Islam and hijab for men is to look down when he sees other women.

Bengaluru, Apr 24: The Karnataka Health Department is likely to shift the 119 accused in Padarayanapura violence to Bengaluru's Haj Bhavan from Ramnagar Jail.

This comes after two accused out of 121, who were shifted to Ramnagar jail, tested positive for coronavirus. They have been shifted to Victoria Hospital.

A ruckus erupted in Padarayanapura on Sunday allegedly over the shifting of 15 secondary contacts of corona positive patients to a quarantine facility by the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) officials.

Padarayanapura is recognised as a 'red zone'. When BBMP officials went to shift the suspected COVID-19 patients, some people created a ruckus, broke a barricade and removed the police post in the area.
