Lucknow, Jan 22: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is accustomed to listening chants of ‘Modi Modi’ whenever he addresses a gathering be it in India or abroad. However, perhaps for the first time, he was confronted with opposition outside the Parliament when a group of students chanted ‘Modi murdabad’, ‘Modi go back’.

The incident occurred in Lucknow when Prime Minister Modi took to the dais to address students in the convocation ceremony of BR Ambedkar University.

As PM Modi started speaking, a group of students started chanting ‘Modi wapas jao’, ‘Modi go back’, ‘Modi haay haay, ‘Modi murdabad’. The security present there and some students of the university dragged the protesting students out of the hall. The protest was related to the suicide of Dalit student of Hyderabad University.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who spoke about the Dadri lynching after many days that led to Opposition slamming him for his silence, expressed his anguish at the untimely death of the student. The teary-eyed Modi said Mother India lost her son and he empathise with the mother who lost her son.

Following the national outrage over Rohith Vemula’s suicide, the executive council of the Hyderabad University revoked the expulsion of the remaining 4 Dalit scholars.

Five Dalit scholars were expelled from the hostel December. Rohith committed suicide.

Sontha Prasanth, Pepapudi Vijay Kumar, Sheshaiah Chemudugunta and Velpula Sunkanna were not allowed to use college amenities. Though they were allowed to attend the classes.

“The council after taking into account the extraordinary situation prevailing in the university, and after discussing the issue in detail, has resolved to terminate the punishment imposed on the students concerned with immediate effect,” a news paper quoted a council.

Gadag, Aug 1: A woman in Gadag district of Karnataka mortgaged her 'mangalsutra' to buy a television set for her children following the Karnataka government's decision to continue the classes through TV amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

A resident of Radder Naganur village, Kasturi, who is also a mother of two, purchased a television set against her 'mangalsutra' for Rs 14,000. She bought the TV after her children's school teachers asked them to attend classes via the television set.

Kasturi said, "I can not send the children to the neighbours' house every day and it was necessary for them to study. We had no other option but to buy a TV set."

She said, "Both, my husband and I are daily wage workers and during coronavirus, we do not have work or money."

"I sold my 'mangalsutra' for Rs 20,000 and bought a TV for Rs 14,000," said Kasturi while happily adding, "Now, my kids can study at home itself."

Kasturi's daughter, Surekha said, "We did not have the TV for several months but now when we have it, we will study and get a bigger 'mangalsutra' for my mother."

Bengaluru, June 23: Karnataka Congress chief D K Shivakumar has urged his party colleagues to be active on social media to counter the propaganda of Bharatiya Janata Party.

Speaking to media persons, the KPCC president said that no more than 20 out of the 68 Congress MLAs are active on social media.

“All those MLAs who are doing well need to be projected. We want leaders, not mere followers. They all should be the face of Congress in Karnataka. Party should not depend on just my face or Siddaramaiah’s,” he said.

Shivakumar’s diktat has resulted in the party’s social media unit scrambling to get leaders to create their accounts.

“We’re pressuring all the party MLAs and leaders. We’re asking their personal assistants or gunmen to operate their accounts if they are not savvy with social media,” KPCC social media chief A N Nataraj Gowda said.

He pointed out that the 20 MLAs who are active on social media include U T Khader, Dinesh Gundu Rao, Priyank Kharge, Krishna Byre Gowda among others.

“We’re also trying to get the accounts verified of those who are beginning to get active. For example, it was only recently that we got the accounts of S R Patil and Vijay Singh verified,” Gowda said.

Tapping the full potential of social media is crucial for the Congress because the BJP has found much success in reaching out to voters through various online platforms.

In fact, ahead of the 2018 Assembly elections, the Congress found that there were 10 ministers and some 40 MLAs who had turned a blind eye towards social media.

Shivakumar said he was also working on putting in place a system in the party under which all developments related to the state and country will be communicated to all party leaders at 10 am every day.
