Mangaluru, Jan 23: K Ashraf, the former Mangaluru Mayor and founder of United Muslim Association of Dakshina Kannada, has once again rejoined the Congress party during its district level convention held in the city on Saturday.

Known for his frequent tirade against veteran Congress leader B Janardhana Poojary, Mr Ashraf had quit and rejoined the Congress party around half a dozen times in recent years.

He had also predicted the end of Congress party in the coastal Karnataka after he quit the party for the last time in January 2014 questioning the appointment of a non-Congressman as the chairman of district Wakf advisory committee.

Dakshina Kannada district-in-charge minister B Ramanth Rai formally re-inducted Mr Ashraf to the Congress in the presence of other party leaders.

I always doubted this guy. He was a reject piece in congRSS and then he started raising his voice for Muslims and then he was thrown out. Because, congRSS never let a person grow with them who has a concern for muslims. After he was thrown out, he was brought into main stream by organizations like, PFI, SDPI and others who work for the Muslim community development. And then congRSS realized the danger that they has to face with with this. So, they bought this puppet again.

Mangaluru, June 10: Former minister and Mangaluru MLA U T Khader has hit out at the Karnataka government for what he opined that it is misusing the Epidemic Diseases Act to target opposition parties. 

The statement comes in the backdrop of state government’s move to scuttle oath taking ceremony of KPCC president designate D K Shivakumar.

Asserting that the oath taking will be a grand affair, Mr Khader said that Congress will not be browbeaten by the tactics of the BJP.

Citing the blatant violation of all norms laid down under the Act by minister for health B R Sriramulu at Chitradurga earlier this month, Khader told reporters that the BJP is using the Act for its narrow political gains.

“KPCC has twice deferred swearing in ceremony of Shivakumar after being given the oral go ahead,” Khader claimed, adding the state government must explain to people the issue it has with the Congress organising this function.

Referring to the back-to-back virtual political rallies – one for Bihar and the other for Odisha – on Sunday and Monday that union home minister Amit Shah conducted, Khader wondered if the Act did not apply to the BJP leadership.

Mangaluru, May 5: Even as the coastal city entered third phase of lockdown to contain the spread of covid-19, a wild bison was spotted in Mangaluru today. 

According to sources, local residents at Hathill area and Mannagudda area spotted bison. It is not sure whether it was the same bison or two different bison.

Some reports claimed that it was spotted in Kudroli area too triggering panic among people. 

With the help of local residents and police, the forest officials managed to catch the bison around noon. 

It is assumed that the wild animal must have come to the city as there was less movement of people and vehicle due to lockdown for past few weeks.
