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.

Use our money for corona patients. Dont waste tax payers money.

For Ayodhya pilgrims, Spend from your BJP looted money.

Our ruling govt is only interested in RAM Mandir and spending crores of rupees for the temple. Why the other community is not demanding fund from the GOVT?

Not bothered about the development of the country as currently we have no idea how to tackle the corona viurs. Ministers are keen on builing Guest house for pilgrims, Statue of RAM etc etc.

Please concentrate on how to minimise the Virus issue in KARNAKATA like other Gulf countries.

'Govt has miserably failed in tackling situation arising out of coronavirus'

News Network

March 25,2020

Bengaluru, Mar 25: Former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Wednesday targetted Centre over surge in coronavirus cases in the country, alleging that the government has miserably failed in tackling the unprecedented situation and was still not managing the crisis well.
"The government has miserably failed in tackling this very serious disease. They are not properly managing the crisis," senior Congress leader Siddaramaiah told ANI.
Siddaramaiah's response comes a day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced a 21-day lockdown in the entire country to deal with the spread of coronavirus, saying that "social distancing" is the only option to deal with the disease, which spreads rapidly.
In a televised address to the nation, Prime Minister Modi said that it is vital to break the chain of the disease and experts have said that at least 21 days are needed for it.
The Prime Minister said the lockdown has drawn a "Lakshman Rekha" in every home and people should stay indoors for their own protection and for that of their families.
Noting that the Centre has on Tuesday allocated Rs 15,000 crore for the treatment of coronavirus patients and to strengthen health infrastructure, he said testing facilities, personal protective equipment, isolation beds, ICU beds, ventilators and other necessary materials will be ramped up.
The Prime Minister said the country will have to bear the economic cost of lockdown but saving the life of every citizen is his priority and the priority of the Central and state governments as also of local administrations.
Noting that the virus spreads like fire, he said that if care is not taken for 21 days, the country, a family can go behind by 21 years.
According to the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), India has reported about 536 individuals have been confirmed positive among suspected cases and contacts of known positive cases. A total of 22,694 samples from March 24 till 8 pm.
Ten people have died so far due to the deadly virus, according to the data by Union health ministry.
