Udupi, Nov 24: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Saha Sarkaryavaha Bhagaiah inaugurated the ‘Hindu Vaibhava’, a religio-cultural exhibition last evening as part of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad’s Dharma Sansad being held in Udupi from 24 to 26.

Meanwhile, the Department of Public Instruction (DPI), which had issued an order to all primary and high schools to make arrangements to take students to the expo, has withdrawn it after the controversy it generated. 

In its November 15 circular the DPI had asked the heads of primary and high schools to make arrangements to send their students to the exhibition because “it showcases our heritage and culture and the glory of our nation. As per the organisers, there will be over 100 stalls at the exhibition”.

Sources in the department said the directive was issued after the president of the Udupi Zilla Panchayat, Dinakar Babu, who belongs to the Bharatiya Janata Party, sent a note to the department about the exhibition.

Meanwhile, there was opposition to the circular. The district unit of the Campus Front of India, on November 22, questioned the circular and threatened a protest. Deputy Director of Public Instruction Sheshashayana on Thursday clarified that the circular was withdrawn as there was opposition to it.

Who this Dinkar Babu is?  Is he DC or Presesident and CM of Karnataka.  If he is so interested let him call all his family members for the exhibition.  Why is he trying to drag his idea in the minds of school children.   He has opposed Tipu sultan who sacrificed his life for our land.  shame on you Mr.   Try to be kannadiga first.

Mandya, Feb 9: A youth from Arechakanahalli village of Maddur taluk on Saturday allegedly committed suicide in Bengaluru after his lover got engaged to another man.

The body of the deceased, Darshan, was found hanging from the celising of his room in Bengaluru. According to Darshan's relatives, he was in love with a girl for the past few years.

Darshan had wanted to marry her, much to the chagrin of her parents, it is said.

The girl's parents had allegedly warned him of dire consequences if he did not stay clear from their daughter. In the meanwhile, she got engaged to another man.

Feeling left out, Darshan allegedly ended his life. In the suicide note, Darshan has held his lover and some of her relatives responsible for his death. He has also claimed that his family was facing death threat from her family.

There are rumours that Darshan might have been killed after he refused to stop seeing the girl. Though both the families are from the same community, their financial status, sources said, is different.

According to the relative of Darshan, the girl is a close relative to a former minister from Mandya district.

"There are reasons to suspect that Darshan might have been murdered, and a suicide note may have been planted at the crime spot.

A proper investigation should be conducted to unearth the truth," he said.
