Mangaluru, Dec 23: The Muslim Central Committee of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi has urged the Karnataka state government to clarify who ordered police firing on December 19 in Mangaluru that claimed lives of two innocent men and injured many.

Addressing a press meet, committee president K.S. Mohammed Masood condemned the police firing and also registering a case against firing victims. Registration of the case against the two was an attempt to protect the Police Department and the government. The government should take action against the erring police officials, he said.

He said government should order a judicial inquiry into the police firing during the protests against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act 2019 in the city which claimed two lives on Thursday.

He said that Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa, during his visit to the city on Saturday, mentioned that an inquiry will be conducted into the whole incident. But he has not specified the nature of the inquiry.

He said that the government should provide government jobs to the family members of those who died in the firing and bear the education expenses of the two children of Jaleel who died in the police firing.

The government should also bear the expenses for the medical treatment of the injured who are admitted in different hospitals, he said

Masood said that the police should stop treating civil society members as enemies. The committee also condemned the lathi-charge. Innocents have been beaten up, he said.

He said that in view of Thursday’s incidents and the subsequent developments, the committee has postponed its protest against the CAA planned at Nehru Maidan here on December 28. Now, the protest will be held on January 4. The committee will approach the police for permission. If police deny permission, the committee will later decide on its future course of action.

Mr. Masood said that there is no clarity in the CAA and the National Register of Citizens (NRC).

He said that the committee is appealing to all those who are protesting against the CAA to do it peacefully. The committee will extend all cooperation in maintaining peace in society.

Thiruvananthapuram, Feb 11: In a unique form of protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), a bridegroom in Kerala, Haja Hussain, came for his wedding ceremony riding on a camel holding an anti-Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) poster in his hands, on the outskirts of the capital city on Monday.

Accompanied by a large crowd mostly comprising his friends and relatives, Hussain carried a placard which read "Reject CAA, Boycott NRC and NPR" as he arrived at the wedding hall in Vazhimukku, about 20 km from Thiruvananthapuram, on a camel back.

Haja Hussain said that he chose to do this to express his protest against the CAA.

"Along with the ' mahr' (the custom where the groom hands over gold or money to the bride), I also gave a copy of the Constitution. CAA should be rejected," said Haja Hussain, who is a local businessman.

Karnataka govt hikes milk prices by Rs 2 per litre

News Network

January 30,2020

Bengaluru, Jan 30: The BJP government of Karnataka has given green signal to the proposal of hiking milk prices by Rs 2 per litre.

The new prices will come into effect from February 1. Seeking revision of prices, the Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) had submitted a proposal last week to the state government. Alongside the revision of milk prices, the state government has also hiked the prices of curd by Rs 2 per liter.

The sudden hike in the prices of milk, curd is likely to have a cascading effect on the milk related beverages such as coffee, tea, and milkshakes with hoteliers and eateries mulling to increase the prices of coffee and tea following the hike in prices.

Sources in the state government revealed to DH that out of Rs 2, farmers will be getting a lion’s share as their accounts will be credited with Rs 1. Another 40 paise will be given to the farmers towards the insurances of their livestock.

Another 40 paise will go to the milk salesmen in the form of commission. The remaining 20 paise will be distributed among the workforce at the milk cooperative unions as an additional incentive.
