Slogans were allegedly raised at a programme organized at the United Theosophical College where action of Indian Army in the Kashmir valley was criticized, especially the killing of Burhan Wani, who allegedly had links with the Hizbul Mujahideen.

Students from different colleges in Mangaluru gathered at Ambedkar Circle and then marched towards Hamilton Circle near state bank bus terminus were a protest meeting was held.

Speaking on the occasion, ABVP District Convenor Naveen said that by hailing Burhan Wani as martyr the organisers of the event insulted the soldiers of the Indian Army who laid down the lives fighting for the nation.

The state government must derecognize both Amnesty International (AI), organisers of the programme and United Theosophical College for allowing AI to hold such a program under Sedition laws, he said.

He also condemned the State government for the baton charge against ABVP agitators in Bengaluru. “Instead of inquiring into the complaint of raising anti-national slogans, the State government allowed police to chase away protesting ABVP activists in Bengaluru,” he said.

ABVP Mangaluru Taluk Convenor Sudhip Shetty said State government has to be cautious of groups in Bengaluru that are speaking against the nation and the Army.

He alleged that by trying to project the Indian Army, which according to him was trying to curb terror activities in Jammu and Kashmir, in bad light, the organisers had indulged in anti-national activities.

They sought the immediate arrest of those who reportedly raised Pro-Pakistan slogans' during the programme.

The agitators warned that they would not disperse until the Deputy Commissioner K.G. Jagadeesha personally receive their memorandum. Around noon, Mr. Jagadeesha received the memorandum and said it will be forwarded to Governor Vajubhai Vala.

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.

Bengaluru, Aug 4 : Without mentioning any party leader's name, Karnataka Congress President DK Shivakumar on Monday appealed to Congress workers not to make any "defamatory statement" against any political leader on social media platforms.

Taking to Twitter, Shivakumar wrote, "I appeal to Congress workers not to make defamatory statements against any political leader, on matters of health and other issues on social media platforms. It is not in our culture to wish bad for others. Congress is a party that exemplifies brotherhood and humanity."

His statement comes days after Rajya Sabha MP and AICC in-charge for Gujarat, Rajiv Satav comment where he suggested that introspection in the party should begin from the time of the United Progressive Alliance -II government.

Later, Satav took to Twitter to clarify his remarks at Thursday's meeting of the party's Upper House MPs. Satav, through a series of tweets on Saturday, said he was not comfortable discussing what goes on inside party meetings in forums outside.
