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.

Bengaluru, Mar 2: Killing an Indian porcupine and inviting his TikTok followers to view it proved costly for a 25-year-old man from Kalaburagi. Forest department officials tracked him down and arrested him on Sunday morning.

Manjunath Biryalhissa, a resident of Jewargi taluk, was famous for his various TikTok videos and for lifting heavy stones in his village and neighbouring areas.

According to forest officials, on Friday, Manjunath and his friends caught a porcupine in Sindagi range, Vijayapura and stoned it to death. Later, they fried and cooked it. Manjunath then made an 18-second video, where he spoke about the porcupine hunt and slaughter, besides inviting his followers to like the video and join him in the feast.

The video was on TikTok and Facebook. Wildlife activists who found the video alerted forest department officials.

“Porcupine comes under schedule four of the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972. Keeping this video as evidence we were able to trace him through his Facebook account, where he had shared details of his hometown,” said forest officials.

Mangaluru, Jan 1: Led by two local MLAs belonging to Bharatiya Janata Party, dozens of people today forcibly stopped toll fee collection at Talapady toll gate on the outskirts of the city allowing vehicles plying between Karnataka and Kerala on the national highway 66 to travel without paying any fee for some time.

Mangaluru City South MLA D Vedavyasa Kamath and Mangaluru City North MLA Y Bharat Shetty, who led the workers, said that the Navayuga Udupi Tollway Pvt. Ltd. (NUTPL), the concessionaire of the about 90-km-long highway widening project between Talapady and Kundapura in Karnataka, had failed to complete the project since over a decade.

The service roads and two flyovers under the project remained uncompleted. Hence motorists were facing a hardship. Notwithstanding Nalin Kumar Kateel, Dakshina Kannada MP, arranging ₹56 crore loan to the NUTPL through Axis Bank to complete the prominent Pumpwell flyover in the city, the company had failed to complete it.

The MLAs said that they stopped the toll collection as a symbolic protest to bring pressure on the company to complete the project within this month.

The BJP workers who gathered near the toll gate around 7.30 a.m. forcibly removed the barricades and made the vehicles ply without paying the fee. The workers of the company managing the toll booth did not resist.

The BJP workers said that vehicles would ply without paying toll till about 6 p.m. If the company resumed the collection during the day on Wednesday, the party workers would again forcibly stop it on Thursday, they said.

Shivaprasad Rai, in-charge of toll collection of the company at Talapady, Hejmady and Sasthana on the same highway told The Hindu that the NUTPL collected about ₹7 lakh as toll fee daily at Talapady from over 12,000 vehicles. The loss on Wednesday could be about ₹4 lakh.

The project is being implemented under build, operate and transfer basis.
