Mangaluru, Sept 22: Dakshina Kannada district police has finally registered a case against Hindu Jagaran Vedike leader Jagadish Karanth for his extremist rant against Puttur Rural Police Sub-Inspector Abdul Khader.

The development comes after Karnataka home minister R Ramalinga Reddy took Dakshina Kannada SP C H Sudheer Kumar Reddy to task for failing to take action against a hatemonger who apparently tried to disrupt peace in the society and abused a Muslim cop.

Karanth at a public rally at Kille Maidan in Puttur on September 15 had cast professional and personal aspersion on the police officer and invoked his religion while making those accusations.

Based on a complaint from N K Omana, PSI (Law and Order), Puttur Town police station, a case has been registered in Puttur town police station against Karanth under sections 505(1) c, 505 (2), 153(A), and 189 of IPC.

The SP said, "We will take the case to its logical conclusion. Along with this (above) case, the PSI concerned (Abdul Khader) will also file a separate case of criminal defamation against Karanth."

Incidentally, minister Reddy after reviewing functioning of department in Western Range on Wednesday had told reporters that he was aware of the rant by Karanth against the police officer and had dismissed submission by the SP that department has sought legal opinion and would initiate action.

"Nip all such hate speeches in the bud and ensure they do not become the reason for any major law and order problem, irrespective of their affiliation," Reddy had said.

He also should have booked under, the prevention of Insults to national honor act, 1971

 

He has deliberatly insulted Constitution of India by saying that, why should we follow some thing written by a group of 4 people during 1947 to 1950.  He has no right to continue as Indian citizen. Strip his nationality and dump him in Hindu Maha Sagar.

United Nations, Jul 25: UN report on terrorism has warned that there are “significant numbers” of ISIS terrorists in Kerala and Karnataka, noting that the al-Qaida in the Indian Subcontinent terror group, which reportedly has between 150 and 200 militants from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Myanmar, is planning attacks in the region.

The 26th report of the Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team concerning ISIS, al-Qaida and associated individuals and entities said that the al-Qaida in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS) operates under the Taliban umbrella from Nimruz, Helmand and Kandahar provinces of Afghanistan.

“The group reportedly has between 150 and 200 members from Bangladesh, India, Myanmar and Pakistan. The current leader of AQIS is Osama Mahmood…, who succeeded the late Asim Umar… AQIS is reportedly planning retaliation operations in the region to avenge the death of its former leader,” it said.

According to the report, “One member state reported that the ISIL Indian affiliate (Hind Wilayah), which was announced on May 10, 2019, has between 180 and 200 members”.

It said that there are “significant numbers of ISIL operatives in Kerala and Karnataka states.”

In May last year, the Islamic State (also known as ISIS, ISIL or Daesh) terror group claimed to have established a new "province" in India, the first of its kind announcement that came after clashes between militants and security forces in Kashmir.

The dreaded terror outfit, through its Amaq News Agency, had said that the Arabic name of the new branch is "Wilayah of Hind" (India Province).

A senior Jammu and Kashmir police officer had rejected the claim.

Previously, ISIS attacks in Kashmir were linked to its so-called Khorasan Province branch, which was set up in 2015 to cover "Afghanistan, Pakistan and nearby lands".

As covid-19 cases began to increase in Dakshina Kannada, the Kasargod district administration had unilaterally newly introduced of daily pass system on July 6 for entry and exit from Talapady border. This had inconvenienced hundreds of employees, who visited Mangaluru daily to eke a living.

The minister said the Kasaragod district administration will resume issuing of passes for daily commuters between Kasaragod and Mangaluru. But they should undergo rapid antigen test for every week to renew their passes.

"Similarly, one-time interstate passes will be issued for those who want to take part in marriages, funeral and other functions in both states. Even they should undergo antigen test after returning from the functions,” the minister added.

As per the previous order, daily commuters, especially employees, had to stay in Mangaluru for 28 days before returning to Kasargod. Later, Kerala government relaxed rules on July 23 allowing only bank employees from Kasaragod to travel daily in their private vehicles to their workplace in Dakshina Kannada.
