Addressing media persons here on Saturday, Shetty said that the government was behaving in an adamant manner on setting up of the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB).

“The ACB will certainly weaken the Lokayukta. Instead of forming the ACB, the government should have strengthened the Lokayukta institution in order to curb corruption,” he said. Blaming the State government for the II?PU question paper fiasco, Shetty said that instead of suspending the officials, the government should have dismissed them to send a strong message against repeat of such incidents.

Accusing the officials of failure to check illegal sand transportation in Dakshina Kannada district, Shetty said though the district administration had banned sand mining, illegal transportation of the construction material was going on unabated.

DK district JD(S) unit President Vittla Mohammed Kunhi said that the government was hell bent on setting up of ACB to shield ministers facing corruption charges.He alleged that the tuition mafia and few private colleges were involved in the II PU question paper leak.

“The Minister for Primary and Secondary Education Kimmane Ratnakar should tender his resignation. The State government is acting against its own promises made during the election. The power tariff has been revised. With erratic supply of power in rural areas, farmers are finding it difficult to irrigate their farm the district is facing acute shortage of water,” he said.

Mangaluru, May 2: Ibrahim Musliyar Bekal, a prominent Muslim religeous leader in coastal Karnataka has urged the Dakshina Kannada district administration not to end the covid-19 lockdown before the end of the blessed month of Ramadan. 

The appeal comes in the wake of reports that the state government may allow opening of clothe shops during the month of Ramadan to felicitate Muslims for Eid shopping.

"Muslims in the district have completely cooperated with the district administration in making the lockdown sucessfull. They have refrained from going to mosque even for Juma and Taraveeh during Ramadan. Such a lockdown is necessary to contain the pandemic," said Musliyar, who is also the Khazi of Udupi and Chikkamagaluru.

If the district administration withdraws lockdwon or relaxes it, people in large numbers may storm cloth shops wherein it physical distancing will be difficult, Musliyar warned.

He said that Muslims in the region have decided to observe Eid ul Fitr, a festival which marks the end of the blessed month, in a simple way maintaining physical distance. Hence the lockdown should be relaxed only after the festival, he suggested.
