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(DPI), which had issued an order to all primary and high schools to make arrangements to take students to the expo, has withdrawn it after the controversy it generated.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 Deputy Director of Public Instruction Sheshashayana on Thursday clarified that the circular was withdrawn as there was opposition to it.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.

The infant was the sixth child of the couple, police said.

"A case has been registered (for unnatural death) in the matter to verify the death beyond any suspicion raised by locals since five other children of the couple had died in the past nine years," a senior police official said.

The couple had three boys and three girls of which the third girl child lived till the age of four and the rest died before turning one.

"The post-mortem will take place today itself.We are collecting the medical records of the children who had passed away earlier.

We will identify the cause of death after analysing the records and discuss the matter with forensic doctors," Tirur Deputy Superintendent of Police (DySP) said.

However, relatives claimed that there was nothing suspicious in the death of the children and that doctors have said it was due to some genetic disease.

"The post-mortem of the third child was conducted and the doctors said the death was due to some genetic problems. They said they were helpless," a relative said, adding that the family was ready to face any probe.

According to the locals, the couple had claimed that the children have died due to epilepsy.

Sources said the baby was taken to a hospital but was dead prior to reaching the hospital early this morning.
