Kanaka Nade': Action sought against Pejawar seer, Chakravarti Sulibele

October 25, 2016

Udupi, Oct 25: The Dalita-Damanitara Swabhimani Horata Samiti has urged the Udupi district administration to take legal action against organisers and participants of the controversialKanaka Nade' for violating the rules and glorifying casteism.

Shyamraj Birti, district convener of the samiti, who submitted a memorandum to Deputy Commissioner T Venkatesh, here on Monday, said that though the district administration had denied permission for theKanaka Nade', the Yuva Brigade organised it on public property and a launching ceremony was also held at the Car Street here on October 23.

He said that action should be taken not only against Chakravarti Sulibele of the Yuva Brigade, but also against Vishwesha Tirtha Swami of Paryaya Pejawar Mutt and Pramila Nesargi, BJP leader for participating in the event in violation of DC's order.

The samiti had withdrawn its ownSwabhimani Nade,' which it intended to hold on the same day after Superintendent of Police K.T. Balakrishna urged them to do so in the interest of maintaining law and order.

The Yuva Brigade had earlier said that they would clean all the streets of Udupi, which were “polluted” after the samiti had held aChalo Udupi' programme on October 9. TheKanaka Nade' was an extension of this programme, and amounted to practice of untouchability. Hence, a case under Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act should be booked against Mr. Sulibele.

Some leaders of the Udupi unit of Vishwa Hindu Parishad (Vilas Nayak), Bajrang Dal (Dinesh Mendon), Yuva Brigade (Vasudeva Bhat), the founder of Sri Rama Sene, Pramod Muthalik and former MLA, K. Raghupati Bhat, had given false statements that the samiti wanted to lay siege to the Sri Krishna Mutt/Temple.

The administration book a case against these individuals under the Goonda Act, the memorandum said. Mr. Venkatesh promised the office-bearers of the samiti that he would look into the demands made in the memorandum. Sundar Master, Vishwanath Pethri, samiti leaders, and G. Rajashekhar and K. Phaniraj, writers, were present.

Now this RSS Activist (Sooli bele) invited by Abu Dhabi Karnataka sanga to attend function at Abu Dhabi on Nov. 4th. B R Shetty is chief guest along with him. He made hate speech against ISLAM and Christian religion recently in Udupi (Home town of BR Shetty). We dont understand How can BR Shetty sharing stage along with soolibele.?? his majority of customers are muslims.. let shetty keep this point in mind...
why sanga invited this communal activitst to UAE ??? may be sanga also tied up with RSS or Chaddees..

Many Hindus are not aware of their scriptures which says Worship only ONE GOD and dont worship images and pictures and other objects which is lifeless and helpless.

Pejawar should not hide this truth to people. He should explain the TRUTH of NA TASYA PRATIMA ASTI (there is no likeness of GOD) Svetasvatara Upanishad...
Many people who dont read VEDAS are worshiping the stones, animals and other things cos of their ignorance in NA TASYA PrATIMA ASTI...

God made MAN intelligent than his other CREATION and
Intelligent brains will recognize this and try to know wat is the truth behind NA TASYA PRATImA ASTI>
Ekam Evadvitiyam - He is the only ONE without a second (Chandogya Upanishad 6:2:1)1
Shudaham Poapvidham - He is body-less and Pure (yajurveda 40:9)7

Recognize this deception of the ages and come out of DARKness and The CREATOR will show U the Light when his CREATION's intention is RIGHT.

News Network

April 24,2020

Thiruvananthapuram, Apr 24: Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Thursday said that there is no community spread or the expected phase three spread of coronavirus in the state so far but the threat continues.

Speaking to media persons here on Thursday, Vijayan said that Kasargod, Kannur, Kozhikode, and Malappuram districts will be in the red zone with full restrictions.

"All the other ten districts in the State will be in the orange zone. With the detection of new cases today, the status of Kottayam and Idukki districts have been changed from green to orange. The district administration will decide on the hotspot areas to be closed," he said.

He said there would be an increase in the number of random tests in the red zones.

"In an effort to confirm that there is no community spread in the State, random antibody tests would be conducted among health workers, police personnel, home delivery persons, volunteers and migrant labourers," he added.

The Chief Minister said that COVID-19 labs set up at the Pariyaram Government Medical College at Kannur and the Kottayam Medical College have got the approval from the ICMR for coronavirus testing. The lab at Kannur Medical College will start functioning from Friday.

The UV sterilised lab, spread over 2,200 sq ft is equipped with four real-time PCR machines. In the first phase, this lab will be able to do 15 tests per day, which will be gradually increased to conduct 60 tests in the next phase.

"With the opening of these two new labs, tests to detect COVID-19 will be conducted in 14 government labs in Kerala. Apart from this, there are two private labs also in Kerala which are doing these tests. Since the number of coronavirus cases is again increasing in the State, the government has decided to procure ten real-time PCR machines to ramp up testing," he added.
