Bengaluru, Feb 6: Congress leader and MLC C M Ibrahim on Monday took objection to identifying departed political leaders by their caste and religion while paying tribute in the Legislative Council.

Taking exception to referring Mukhtar-unnisa Begum, former MLA, as a minority leader in the obituary reference, he said it was not right to restrict social and political leaders to a particular caste and religion, as they were representatives of society.

The leaders in the two Houses of the State legislature paid rich tributes to former Assembly members Nagappa, Mukhtar Unnisa Begum, R. Narayanappa, Kumar Gowda Patil, Prahlad Remani, and U.M. Madappa.

Acknowledging the opinion of Mr. Ibrahim, Council Chairman D.H. Shankaramurthy said his suggestions would be incorporated in the coming days.

Mukhtar-unnisa Begum, who passed away on November 11, 2017 at the age of 82, was the first Muslim women MLA from South India.

Comments

Those who "made" her minority leader, is just for making controversy and advantage

She worked for human, not for particular religion

Even in death also taking advantage...! shame

Bengaluru, Jan 12: Two pilgrims from Bengaluru, who were siblings, drowned in sea off Auro Beach in Puducherry today.

The deceased have been identified as V Gauthman, 22, and his brother Vivek, 20.

Gauthman and Vivek were among a group of around 150 devotees from Bengaluru to the Adhiparasakhi temple at Melmaruvathur in Kancheepuram district of Tamil Nadu. They started their journey from Bengaluru in three buses on Friday.

After offering special puja at Adhiparasakthi temple and worshipping at a few other temples, they reached Auro Beach on Sunday afternoon.

Vivek, who tried to rescue his brother, too was caught in the wave.

Other pilgrims and fishermen began to search for them in fishing boats.

After an hour, their bodies were washed ashore, around two km from the spot.

January 21,2020

Bengaluru, Jan 21: A massive protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), National Register of Citizens (NRC), and National Population Register (NPR) was witnessed at Shivajinagar's Chandni Chowk area on Tuesday.

Scores of people came together carrying national flags and placards to register their protest in the city.

Speaking to ANI, a protester said, "People of all religious community have assembled here in Chandni Chowk to protest against CAA, NRC, and NPR. We the people of India are against this law."

Terming the law as anti-constitutional, he said that we support all the states who oppose the CAA. We demand the revocation of CAA and the government should remove conditions in NPR which lead to NRC.

CAA grants citizenship to Hindu, Sikh, Jain, Parsi, Buddhist and Christian communities fleeing religious persecution from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh and who came to India on or before December 31, 2014.

Unfortunately Hitler brother is our HM who is deaf, dumb and blind. He has shit in his brain. He is unfit to be called as human being. He is thinking that he has no death. I am sure that he will meet a miserable end.
