I oppose all communal groups including RSS, VHP, SDPI, PFI, says Amin Mattu

January 25, 2016

Mangaluru, Jan 25: Dinesh Amin Mattu, the media advisor to chief minister Siddaramaiah, has said that he condemned communalism cutting across religious and political groups.

Responding to Karnataka BJP spokesperson S Suresh Kumar’s demand for his resignation from the post of CM’s advisor for his remark on recent terror arrests, Mr Mattu said he is ready to quit if the former is ready to leave the communal party (BJP).

Reiterated his impartial approach in opposing communal polarization, Mr Mattu, who is also a former journalist, said that he not only opposed saffron outfits like RSS, VHP and Bajrang Dal, but also raised voice against Social democratic Party of India and Popular Front of India.

Expressing pain over youth of Hindu and Muslim communities being attracted towards communalism, he pointed out that not only people like Azhar Mahmoud and Ajmal Kasab, but Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, Swami Aseemanand, Col Purohit and Bhuvit Shetty are also enemies of humanity.

PFI / SDPI only future hopes. for \United India\""

1 clarification,

PFI, SDPI are emerged to defend the communalism of all these RSS, VHP, BJP non-secular groups.

SDPI are definitely a secular minded political party. Getting more popularity amongst Dalits.

As Monu said, there is no comparision of crimes between

I wonder ......some time even secular minded people to show as secular use the comparison of Organizations such as PFI and SDPI to Fascist RSS , VHP and Bajrangdal.......there is no similarity between these ideologies............except organizing power and discipline .....

PFI never raped and killed innocent Indian citizens
PFI never indulged in anti anti national activities
PFI never took law into hands
PFI never wanted an Islamic state in INDIA
PFI always hoisted Indian national flag in all its programs
....etc etc etc

this is so sad to that second time Mr.Mattu used PFI and SDPI as shield to show secular face

We need such honest and fare mind politician, because of these great human being still humanity is alive in this communal society. May God bless you sir!!

Davanagere, Jul 4: Referring to allegations made by former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's charge about corruption while purchasing COVID-19 equipment, Health Minister B Sriramulu said the state government is ready for any kind of probe in this regard.

Speaking to media persons here on Saturday, he said the government has maintained accounts for each purchase of equipment related to Covid-19.

"So, Congress leader's allegations are far from the truth. Siddaramaiah has vast political experience. It is unbecoming of such a leader to make ridiculous allegations. The government is ready to release white paper on purchase of equipment related to Covid-19," he said.

He said Karnataka stands third in the country in collection of throat swabs and examination of people related to Covid-19. The entire country has hailed Karnataka's role in containing Covid-19, Sriramulu he added.

Govt to bear Rs 78 cr cost of 108-ft-tall Kempegowda statue outside Airport: DyCM

Bengaluru, Jun 27: Announcing Karnataka’s ambitious plan to install a 108-ft-tall statue of Nadaprabhu Kempegowda outside the airport, deputy chief minister Ashwath Narayan said the government will bear the project cost — approximately Rs 78 crore.

Work on the project will formally commence with the chief minister laying foundation stone for installation of the statue and development of a 23-acre park where it will come up, on Saturday.

How soon we get a coronavirus vaccine depends on not only the pace of work in research labs, but also the preparedness of factories supplying glass vials, stoppers and syringes

A look at the factors that may determine the severity of infection

An artist’s impression of the 108-ft-tall statue, which is proposed to come up in a 23-acre park outside KIA. The chief minister will perform bhoomi puja on Saturday.

KPCC president DK Shivakumar on Thursday suggested the cost be borne by Kempegowda International Airport and not the government. He wrote to the CM welcoming the decision to erect a statue of the chieftain at KIA, but asked why should the govenment spend on it. “When huge concessions have been provided to KIA, why not use its services to construct the statue,” he asked. Narayan, who is chairman of Kempegowda Development Authority, said it is the government’s duty to bear the cost.

The government has released sketches of the statue and a blueprint of the park. Noted sculptor Ram Sutar, who designed the Gandhi statue located between Vidhana Soudha and Vikasa Soudha and the Statue of Unity in Gujarat, will be part of this project as well.

Narayan said the government was not competing with any other state on having a tallest/largest statue while emphasising that Kempegowda ensured the city had tanks, markets and drainage system when it was founded. He added the government won’t invite many guests to Saturday’s ceremony. “Most legislators will be given a virtual link to view the event,” he said.

When the economic situation is very bad they are wasting people's money on these things now! These statues can be built when the peoples' basic things are first fulfilled. The title of this topic should be "People to bear the burden of Rs.78 crore", there is nothing like governments money, it's all belong to people.

What is the neccessity of spending tax payers money in building Statue when there is great need of these amount in improving the quality of Health sector during COVID-19 Pandemic. Government must be smart enough to prioritise the need of the people.
