Mangaluru, Jan 29: A tense atmosphere prevailed at the Gou Yatra Mahamangala venue at Kuloor in the city on Sunday when a few saints participating in the mega convention noticed asuspicious' package near the stage.

1cowdungThe three-day grand finale (Mahamangala) of the 82-day-long Mangala Gou Yatra organised under the aegis of Sri Ramachandrapura Math was held at a 70 acre land abutting NH 66 at Kuloor from Jan 27 to 29. The event saw more than 1500 saints adorn a 300 feet long 150 feet wide main stage.

The bizarre incident took place on the third day of the convention. According to sources, some of the participants expressed suspicion about an abandoned package near the stage. This triggered panic among all the participants.

Police and bomb disposal experts rushed to the spot and took the suspicious package away from the stage and kept it on an open space. Interestingly, when they opened it carefully, they found two separate packets of cow dung and cow urine in it.

It is worth mentioning here that a section of Hindus in India consider cow dung and cow urine to be most auspicious and holy and some of them drink cow urine with great reverence.

Karjol, who is also the Minister in-charge of Social Welfare department said, in view of holidays for educational institutions, there were no students staying in the residential schools and hostels and hence they can be used for quarantine purpose.

All the residential schools at hostels in districts and taluks are spacious and have all required facilities like rooms, kitchen, toilets, bathrooms, libraries among others, the Minister said adding most of them were located away from densely populated areas.

Mangaluru, July 30: The Social Democratic Party of India has condemned the move by the state government to drop a lesson on legendary Mysuru rulers Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan from the class 7 textbook.

The Department of Public Instruction has omitted the chapter from the textbooks of Class 7 in their attempt to reduce syllabus for state board schools by 30 per cent.

The department, however, has decided to retain similar chapters on Tipu Sultan in 6th and 10th Classes, though the syllabus in text books for all classes from 1 to 10th has been trimmed. 

In a media release statement, SDPI State President Ilyas Mohammed Thumbe termed the move as communally motivated. “By dropping the lesson, the BJP-led government is engaged in saffronisation of education,” he alleged.

He said that Tipu was the most prominent freedom fighter, who had given priority to irrigation, rocket technology and harmony. The BJP government is also planning to scrap lessons on the Constitution, secularism and democracy. By twisting history, the BJP is trying to mislead the younger generation, he added.
