I'm not footwear to be used and thrown: Ambareesh

June 22, 2016

Bengaluru, Jun 22: “Am I footwear to be worn whenever wanted and leave it when not wanted? Is the chief minister a Hitler? He should have maintained some dignity.”

This is how former housing minister M?H?Ambareesh reacted on Tuesday to the manner in which he was shunted out of the state cabinet.

Addressing a press conference at his residence here, Ambareesh did not hide his anger against Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. While remaining firm on not withdrawing his resignation as MLA, Ambareesh said that if the chief minister had called him and sought his resignation, he would have happily paved way for others. But the chief minister did not show that kind of courtesy, he said.

“I am a popular personality. Each household in every village knows me. I am known to the entire world. I am not a slipper to be thrown out whenever not required.

Siddaramaiah did not even have the dignity to call me,” he said to a query.

On why he has resigned as MLA and was letting down his constituents, he said when the chief minister has considered him not competent enough to be a minister, it is better not to continue as MLA too. Asked why he has not personally submitted his resignation as per the rules, he hit back saying he knows the rules and would do accordingly if required.

Indirectly stating that Siddaramaiah had benefited because of his clout in Mysore and Mandya, Ambareesh said when he resigned as union minister, he had promised Congress president Sonia Gandhi that he would help Siddaramaiah get elected in the Assembly by-elections from Cha¬mu¬nd¬e¬shwari in 2007.

“I kept my promise. I campaigned extensively in villages where the Congress had no presence. I used even my caste tag Gowda to lure voters to help Siddaramaiah win. Now he must have forgotten all these,” he recalled. On the reports that Siddaramaiah has ordered probe into the decisions he had taken as the housing minister, Ambareesh said: “Let them do so. I have nothing to hide. No case has been filed against me. Let anybody access records under the RTI.” Meanwhile, Bangalore Development Minister met Ambareesh later in the day and tried to convince the latter.

Meanwhile, the supporters of Ambareesh blocked Mysuru-Bengaluru National Highway for 30 minutes near Nidaghatta in Maddur taluk of Mandya district. They burnt an effigy of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and raised slogans against him.

Ambareesh jee
why you are comparing yourself with footwear?
Just sit somewhere and think since you got this portfolio, what is your input for the society as a minister?. You came in picture when there was a fight between filmy couples. that's it. nothing else.
Footwear is giving some sort of service to people if they buy and use.
Power Monger...!!!

New Delhi, Jan 28: The Supreme Court of India today granted bail to 17 convicts sentenced to life imprisonment in 2002 Gujarat massacre case, pending their appeal before the Supreme Court.

The convicts also have to participate in social and spiritual services, said the court, announcing the riders for bail.

The Bench of Chief Justice of India SA Bobde and Justices BR Gavai and Surya Kant directed for the convicts to be segregated into two groups to be sent to Indore and Jabalpur.

District legal authorities in Indore and Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh have been asked to ensure that the convicts do the spiritual and social work the court has asked for.

The Supreme Court has also asked the administration to find them work for livelihood. The state legal services authority has been asked to file a compliance report as also report on their conduct.

The case concerns the mass killing of 33 innocent Muslims - mostly women and children - who were burnt alive at Sardarpura village in March 2002.

This was part of the mass massacre that swept through Gujarat in the aftermath of the death of train passengers on Sabarmati Express in Godhra on Feb 27, 2002. Thousands of innocent Muslims were killed and raped in the three-day violence. The victims include hundreds of children including newborns.

In 2016, the Gujarat High Court had upheld the conviction of 17 accused in the Sardarpura massacre case.

Earlier, a Special SIT court had convicted a total of 31 persons in the case, after three years of trial against 73 persons from Sardarpura and nearby villages.

Wah, the real culprit  who orchestered the complete episode has been PM to commit more such.

This man need to be facing the similar justice system. He knows, this is India, anything can be done.

 

Only these few are punished.

For the sake of God please do not call them JUSTICE. If they str aware of meaning of word justice then they would have given death penalty to all the culprits. So sad that supreme court of india is running as per the instructions of MODI govt. RIP Justice

Puttur, June 19: A 32-year-old woman in Puttur taluk of Dakshina Kannada district died due to complications caused by dengue yesterday.

The deceased is Naseema (32), wife of Nazeer Master, a resident of Parpunja village in the taluk.

She was not well for past few weeks and she was diagnosed with dengue fever with chills a week ago.

Initially she underwent treatment at a hospital in Puttur. After her condition worsened, she was shifted to a private hospital in Deralakatte.

However, she breathed her last without responding to any treatment last night.

Naseema is the second victim of the mosquito-borne infection in Puttur taluk this month. Last week, dengue had claimed the life of a woman in Bettampady village in the same taluk.

Mangaluru, Apr 16: An old refrigerator has been turned into a "disinfection chamber" by researchers who are striving to come up with solutions to tackle the spread of coronavirus.

Dr Arun M Isloor, head of Chemistry Department, National Institute of Technology Karnataka (NITK), Surathkal, along with research scholar Syed Ibrahim has come up with the device which can disinfect items kept inside it.

"We have named this as ZERO-COV," Dr Isloor said.

He says the device ensures 99.9 per cent destruction of microorganisms present on the surface of items.

"We can keep items like vegetables, currency notes, books or envelopes inside the chamber. Switching on the chamber for 15 minutes ensures 99.9 per cent destruction of microorganisms present in the surface of the items," Dr Isloor added.
