Hindus are not safe in Karnataka, claims BJP

March 22, 2016

Bengaluru, Mar 22: Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Council K S Eshwarappa said on Monday that Hindus in the State were living under threat, as “anti-national and anti-social” elements operated without fear of law.

bjpDemanding the chair to allow a discussion on the murder of BJP worker Kyathamarenahalli Raju in Mysuru recently, Eshwarappa said, “There is no safety for Hindus in the State. Assailants do not fear the law. There is an atmosphere of fear in the State following the incident. The culprits should be apprehended immediately,” he said.

The BJP members including Eshwarappa, G Madhusudhan, C H Vijayshankar, Ashwathnarayana, Ramachandra Gowda and B J Puttaswamy also demanded that the government should initiate a judicial inquiry into Raju's death. They also sought Home Minister G Parameshwara to increase the compensation to the kin of Raju from Rs 5 lakh to Rs 25 lakh.

They said that Home department's delay in arresting the actual culprits in the incident had led to suspicion that the attackers were being protected. “There is enough evidence which can be corroborated from the CCTV footage from the bank right next to the tea stall where Raju was attacked. However, the department has made no attempts in this direction,” said Eshwarappa.

He demanded that the police be given a free hand to investigate into the case. He, however, expressed doubts if it would happen. “Last year when my life was under threat, the government promised protection. But till date I am travelling across the State with just a pilot vehicle. When the Opposition leader himself is not given protection, I wonder whether the department will protect upright officers in the force.”

Ashwathnarayana said that like the red corridor' a corridor of anti-national activities' had emerged, with such elements operating in Mysuru, Kodagu, Kasargod, Mangaluru and Bhatkal.

A large number of such elements - activists of Popular Front of India and Social Democratic Front - were continuing to enter the State from Kerala unleashing attacks on Hindu activists, he said.

Ibrahim,
Nepal has changed their status now, its not a HINDU country... cos they came to know the reality of Idol worship which is a sin and mentioned in VEDAS that those who worship sambhuti will fall in DARKNESS... They are coming out of DARKNESS and I request our hindu brothers to learn about IDOL worship in VEDAS and also other religious scriptures... Please come out of DARKNESS. U will understand how many people are making money out of this false god concept.

OK

U guys are involved in instigating the public to violence, now U want to increase the compensation for the victim from our TAX money... if your agenda (which will never succeed) to kill the innocent and the oppressed by LIES and deception, then keep some funds for those who are dying for your cause for nothing... their family is suffering from your LIes and deception.

A bus agent/conductor become a MLA/MLC made huge properties and money. Certainly he is afraid of what will happen to him tomorrow. He has a case of money laundering with ED and Lokayukta. If himself not secured in Karnataka, better to emigrate to Nepal, a lone Hindu country in the world.

Ballari, June 30: A video clip of dead bodies of covid-19 victims being disgracefully thrown into a pit said to be in Karnataka’s Ballari has gone viral on social media triggering outrage from netizens.

Ballari Deputy Commissioner SS Nakul ordered a probe. He told media persons that the veracity of the video is still under question and that it still needs to be established if the video was taken in Ballari.

In the video, a pit is seen which appears to be disinfected. The video features masked men covered in body suits bringing dead bodies from a black hearse van in black body bags one by one and throwing the dead bodies into the same pit. In all, three dead bodies are thrown into the same pit in the video.

"We have assigned an Additional Deputy Commissioner (ADC) to enquire and verify the same. We are awaiting reports. We don't know yet if it (the video) is from Ballari or not," Nakul said.

The district which has so far reported around 800 cases in the last three months has also witnessed around two dozen deaths.

Twitterati on Tuesday raised questions about the handling of the bodies. "Even dead have some respect and they deserved a decent burial," said a social activist from Ballari. Similar reactions echoed on social media and some also pointed out on how the family members who have to stay away from burials feel about it.

Covid burial protocol

According to the protocol set by the Union Health Ministry for the burial of Covid-19 patients, the patients' orifices (nose, mouth and ears) have to be sealed and the body has to be wrapped in three layers of personal protective equipment (PPE). Thereafter it should be placed in a body bag. Family members should not be allowed to accompany the body in the hearse van. Covid-19 victims have to be given a deep burial. The grave should be minimum 10-feet deep.

The grave should be disinfected with bleaching powder and the area should be cordoned off so that the general public is not in the vicinity.  The vehicle used to transport the dead body of a Covid-19 victim -- ambulance or a hearse van -- has to be disinfected for 16 hours before being used again. Most Covid-19 victims in the state have had burials in the absence of family members as they are generally in quarantine for being the primary contacts of the patient.

Bengaluru, Aug 4 : Without mentioning any party leader's name, Karnataka Congress President DK Shivakumar on Monday appealed to Congress workers not to make any "defamatory statement" against any political leader on social media platforms.

Taking to Twitter, Shivakumar wrote, "I appeal to Congress workers not to make defamatory statements against any political leader, on matters of health and other issues on social media platforms. It is not in our culture to wish bad for others. Congress is a party that exemplifies brotherhood and humanity."

His statement comes days after Rajya Sabha MP and AICC in-charge for Gujarat, Rajiv Satav comment where he suggested that introspection in the party should begin from the time of the United Progressive Alliance -II government.

Later, Satav took to Twitter to clarify his remarks at Thursday's meeting of the party's Upper House MPs. Satav, through a series of tweets on Saturday, said he was not comfortable discussing what goes on inside party meetings in forums outside.

Mangaluru, Feb 8: A speeding car fell off the newly-inaugurated Pumpwell flyover in the city after jumping the median and ramming into an oncoming car today. 

At least four persons have suffered injuries in the mishap involving a Maruti Alto and a Renault Duster. The condition of two is said to be extremely critical. The other two have suffered minor injuries.

The accident took place when the driver of the speeding Alto which was heading towards Kasaragod from Udupi lost control over his vehicle.

Towards the end of the flyover, car rammed into the divider and then hit the ill-fated Renault Duster which was coming from the opposite direction. The Alto then fell off the bridge. 

The accident caused traffic jam on the highway for some time. The flyover was inaugurated a week ago, after a decade long wait.
