Mangaluru, Dec 30: Dakshina Kannada Deputy Commissioner Sasikanth Senthil has issued orders to extern two persons including a leader of Hindu Jagarana Vedike (HJV) for six months on charge of causing communal riots in Bantwal taluk earlier this year.

A clash between HJV leader Ratnakar Shetty and one Ibrahim Khaleel at Kalladka on June 13 had snowballed into communal clash in the region. Shetty had stabbed Khaleel. Both had filed complaints against each other at Bantwal Town Police.

While Khaleel was arrested soon after he got admitted to a hospital, Shetty, who had suffered minor injuries in the clash, was arrested nearly two months later.

Superintendent of Police Sudhir Kumar Reddy said that both of them were involved in several crimes and rowdy-sheets have been opened against them at Bantwal Rural police station.

An application for externment of Ratnakar Shetty and Khaleel was pending before the deputy commissioner for the past two months. After several hearings, the deputy commissioner on Friday ordered them to stay out of Dakshina Kannada district for six months, he said.

No PFI connection

Meanwhile, the local unit of Popular Front of India has rubbished the reports of some news portals that portrayed Ibrahim Khaleel as a PFI activist. “Khaleel is not a PFI activist. He has no connection with PFI” stated Navaz Ullal, DK district president of PFI.

Shivamogga, Feb 24: Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa on Monday said that he has been invited at the banquet hosted for US President Donald Trump at Rashtrapathi Bhavan on Tuesday, but, he is yet to decide on his presence.

“I have been invited, but I have various engagements and work, let’s see. I have not yet decided on what to do. It is true that I got the invitation,” he told reporters here.

"President of a powerful and rich country like United States of America visiting India is not a normal thing. He (Trump) has said that he personally shares good relationship with Prime Minister Modi and has confidence in him…let’s wait and see", Mr Yediyurappa said in reply to a question.

Bengaluru, Jan 21: Controversial Mysuru ruler Tipu Sultan will remain in state-syllabus textbooks in the next academic year (2020-21) too. But the government will form another committee to look at the subject afresh.

"Efforts are on to give textbooks and uniforms the day schools open next academic year. After a discussion with the CM, we decided to not make any changes in the textbooks for the upcoming academic year,"said primary and secondary education minister S Suresh Kumar.

No political angle, says minister

However, we will form a committee to look into it again,” said the minister.

Three months ago, Madikeri MLA Appachu Ranjan had written to the minister seeking removal of contents on Tipu Sultan from Karnataka state syllabus books of classes 6,7 and 10. The minister said: “Appachu Ranjan is a five-time MLA. When he sent a letter, it’s my duty to seek an opinion on it. There’s no political angle here.”
