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.

Dubai, May 12: Free tickets are being offered by philanthropists and businessmen based in the UAE for deserving Indians who want to fly home.

Repatriation ticket prices have been set at around Dh700 to Dh750 per person depending on the destination. But there are many in UAE who cannot afford it, especially people who have lost their jobs or have medical concerns.

Malayalam Communications Ltd and its Malayalam stations (Kairali TV & Kairali News) are giving away 1,000 tickets free. Those who wish to apply can submit their application to [email protected].

Indian businessman Dhananjay Datar, chairman & managing director of Al Adil Trading Company, is also giving away 300 tickets. He is liasing with the Consulate General of India (CGI) for the names. “This is the time we need to rise as a community,” he said.

Besides taking care of airfares, Datar will also bear the cost of COVID-19 testing fees for Indians from the UAE.

“The repatriation efforts undertaken by the government of India is one of the largest initiatives. I am just doing a small bit to help the community. There are many people who are not in a position to meet the airfare and COVID testing costs as they have lost jobs. I will be coordinating with authorised entities handing this to lend my support,” he said.

Pravasi India Forum, a welfare organisation in UAE, is giving away 100 tickets. The NGO on Monday, May 11, uploaded a registration form where people can provide their details. “Tickets will be given to those approved by CGI and for those who are in financial distress,” said Abulaise, president of Pravasi Welfare Forum.

Punnakan Mohammed Ali, general secretary Incas UAE committee, said it is also ready to give away hundreds of free tickets but only to genuine candidates. “We will evaluate each individual and only if they are approved by the consulate, we will give the tickets. But we are ready to help.”

Those who want to register can get more details on www.pravasiwelfareforum.com.They can also call 055-1025611.

Need for more flights

The gesture notwithstanding, many Indians are still waiting to get news on their repatration.

Social worker Shukoorali Kallangal, President, Abu Dhabi Kerala Muslim Cultural Centre (KMCC), urged the government of India to add more flights to accommodate more passengers.

“Emergency repatriation services are the need of the hour. There are several expats with medical, financial distress. For those who came with the hope of a job – that too is a thing of the past now. Right now all they want is to go home and start something afresh there.”

Kallangal said: “Take the case of pregnant women. In many cases, their husbands have lost jobs or have been asked to go on unpaid leave. They are living hand to mouth and cannot afford medical costs. Due consideration should be given to them.”

Sreedharan Prasad, another social worker based in Ras Al Khaimah, said he is currently dealing with several emergency medical cases.

Consul General of India Vipul said plans are afoot to add more flights in the next phase of Indian repatriation. “The number of flights are being decided by India in consultation with state governments. This is not a normal situation we all are in. We are in the middle of a pandemic situation.”

Bengaluru, Aug 7: Amid the rising number of COVID-19 cases in Karnataka, the state's health department issued fresh guidelines for the disposal of bodies of COVID patients.

"Although an increased risk of COVID infection from a dead body to health workers or family members who follow standard precautions while handling the body is unlikely, the lack of scientific data requires the utmost care to avoid the inadvertent spread of COVID-19 during these times," the statement from the health department's press release read, emphasising on the dignity of the dead and the religious and cultural tradition.

The 23-page press release elaborated on guidelines regarding testing, handling of dead bodies and other specificities in relation to the management of COVID-19 bodies.

"Testing should not be insisted in every case of death, but only when they have a recorded history of influenza-like symptoms. The body should be handed over to the family members/ relatives in a dignified manner immediately after swab collection and hospitals should provide handouts with a list of dos and don'ts in English and Kannada laying down relevant information," the statement said.

It added, "At the mortuary, health care workers, mortuary staff and the family of the deceased body shall not come in direct contact with the dead body and must wear full personal protective equipment (PPE). If the family or relative are for any reason unable to cremate or bury the body, the local health authority shall arrange for the dignified last rites as per the religious traditions of the family."

Regarding autopsies (post mortem) on COVID-19 bodies, the state department said that they should be avoided, except in necessary circumstances.

The statement also gave detailed guidelines regarding the appropriate recording of COVID-19 deaths in line with the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) guidelines.

Additionally, the health department made a statement about the admission procedure for COVID positive patients referred by other district administrations saying, "It is now mandatory for all the referrals from the BBMP admission and discharge of COVID positive patients to be done through the online COVID Hospital Bed Management System (CHBMS)."

The state's count of coronavirus cases was 1,51,449 in the past 24 hours.

So far, a total of 2,804 people have died due to COVID-19 in the state, while the average recovery rate in Karnataka is 49.3 per cent.
