I am also a Hindu, don't need sermons from Yogi: Siddaramaiah

Belagavi Dec 23: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Friday took a dig at his Uttar Pradesh counterpart Yogi Adityanath for stating that the Congress government in Karnataka was celebrating Tipu Sultan Jayanti instead of Hanuman or Ram Jayanti.

Siddaramaiah said, "We too are Hindus and the BJP does not have copyright to talk about Hindus. In Karnataka, we celebrate jayantis of 26 great personalities, saints, historical persons and sufis, including Krishna Jayanti and Ram Navami, which are not celebrated by the Uttar Pradesh government."

Speaking after laying foundation stone for development works at Yamakanamaradi in Hukkeri taluk, Siddaramaiah said he does not need sermons from the Uttar Pradesh chief minister as he too was a Hindu but was not against Muslims, Sikhs, Jains or Christians.

Siddaramaiah said he was son of the soil and knows history of the land and there was no need for him to get lessons from Adityanath. Our state is seen as one of the peace loving states while Uttar Pradesh was called 'Jungle Raj.' Adityanath should make efforts to bring peace in his state. In politics, magic does not work and people from the state were politically aware and know whom to accept and whom to reject.

He said that it was the Congress government which named the women's university in Vijayapura after Akkamahadevi and not the BJP. It was our government which issued orders to display the picture of Basavanna in all the government offices and not these communal elements, he added.

A very good reply by CM and excellent comparison of Karnataka with the jungle raj UP.
We need no lessons here, especially from sectarian leaders of the North.

Bengaluru, May 10 The asymptomatic and healthy people among international passengers will now have to undergo institutional quarantine for 14 days, according to the new standard operating procedure (SoP) issued by the Karnataka government for a third time.

The SoP, which has been revised twice, was issued by the Health and Family Welfare Department on Saturday, May 9.

The international passengers will be divided into two categories upon their arrival at the airports. Symptomatic will be directly sent to the covid-19 hospitals. Asymptomatic will not be allowed to go home directly. They will be sent for mandatory quarantine for 14 days in hotels and guest houses. 

Earlier, international passengers had to undergo seven days of institutional and seven days of home quarantine.

Passengers will also be tested only twice — once on arrival and for the second time on the 14th day — instead of the earlier decision to test thrice. They will be discharged from the facility if they test negative.

The first group of 350 people are expected to arrive from London at 3 am on Monday at the Kempegowda International Airport, said Lakshman Reddy, Joint Director, Social Welfare Department. 

Flights are expected from Singapore on May 13, Jeddah on May 14 and San Francisco on May 15. 

Among the stranded include 4,408 tourists and visitors, 3,084 students, 2,784 migrants and 557 ship crew.

Bengaluru, Jul 31: The Karnataka government on Wednesday put on hold a controversial proposal to drop certain chapters, including on Islam, Christianity, Tipu Sultan and his father Hyder Ali, from social science textbooks to reduce the 2020-21 syllabi for students in classes 1-10.

Citing the COVID-19 pandemic and the disruption caused to the academic calendar of the year, the government had earlier dropped the chapter on Tipu Sultan and Hyder Ali from the Class 7 social science textbook, saying chapters on Tipu Sultan have been retained in the Class 6 and 10 textbooks.

The move did not go down well with the opposition, which saw certain ulterior motives behind the decision.

Apparently under sharp criticism, the Department of Public Instruction issued a new notification on Wednesday "on the directions of the Karnataka Primary and Secondary Education Minister S Suresh Kumar".

There is a delay in opening the schools during the academic year 2020-21 due to COVID-19 pandemic, said the latest order.

In this context, the order said, chapters were dropped to fit in 120 days of the academic year for classes 1 to 10 and the same was published in the department's website.

"However, on the directions of the Minister for Primary and Secondary Education, the decision to drop certain chapters has been put on hold. A review will be done following which the deleted chapters will be uploaded in the website," the order read.

Earlier in the day, Mr Kumar had issued a statement, saying that the decision to truncate the syllabus has not been finalised yet. He also made it clear that his department would not remove chapters unnecessarily.

Former chief minister and Congress leader Siddaramaiah had attacked the government on the issue.

"The government, which has failed to control the spread of coronavirus, is using it as an opportunity to push its clandestine agenda of saffronising the textbooks," Siddaramaiah tweeted.
