He was delivering a talk at 'Tiranga Yatra' and 'Balidana Smarane', in the presence of BJP supremo Amit Shah at Mangala Auditorium of Mangalore University on Sunday.

"Mangaluru is a place located between Kasaragod and Bhatkal. From Kasargod, we have seen that several youngsters have joined IS. Meanwhile, Bhatkal has seen many with terror links and they have threatened the country. Hence, Mangaluru is a central place where a new message needs to be conveyed as per the visions of our Prime Minister," Mr Gowda said adding that the patriotic message should echo through the west coast - from Thiruvananthapuram to Mumbai.

He said, there are several instances to prove the depth of nationalism among Indians. But unfortunately, we also hear voices against the country. Even when India is witnessing a fast-paced development with Prime Minister Narendra Modi initiating various schemes, anti-national slogans are being raised at various corners of the country.

“Instilling patriotism in each Indian is the only solution to eliminate these anti-national activities. Hence, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called upon people to celebrate the Independence Day by remembering freedom fighters,” he said.

The Prime Minister has made it a responsibility of all ministers to reach out to the freedom fighters, their families and honour them, he added. Dakshina Kannada MP Nalin Kumar Kateel spoke about Veerarani Abbakka, who fought against the Portuguese and the British.

Oh Prime Minister! we lived peacefully in mangalore for years together.
for the record it was only your party \dirty politics\" that created problems in our city. all religions live in harmony here. it was so unnessasary to create TERROR in hearts of our fellow people by raising the topic of IS which many across the world know already is a lame group which no human want to belong to. just because kasargod and bhatkal has muslim majority it doesnt mean you have to tagline muslims as terrorist..it hurts our sentiments. much more because WE MUSLIMS ARE NOT USED TO LIARS, FORGET TERRORISM. muslims being quite doesnt mean we agree to all that you say. we just dont want to add fuel to the fire that you politicians have ignited! Remember this: that we YOUTH have nothing to look upto in you politicians..you are never going to be our role models regarding peace and ruling a country in a JUST manner. You can never divide the present YOUTH based on our religion!!! never ever dream of!"

It tooks 70 years to hoist the national flag at Nagpur RSS headquarters.
This is a drama by BJP in the name of Tiranga Yatra to fool the innocent people. Real nationalism and patriotism comes from the heart not from the lips. Amith Shah should visit Srirangapattanam to pay tribute to the real hero of the Independence struggle Tippu Sultan before returning to Delhi. Tippu is the only leader you can find in the history died in the battle field fighting against the British for the country.

Bengaluru, Jan 8: The Karnataka government on Tuesday decided to adopt a no-fail approach for Class 7 examinations for government and private schools following the state syllabus.

The report card of a student doesn’t carry ‘pass’ or ‘fail’ remark, but points to his or her strengths and weaknesses in each subject in the exams, which will now be called Common Evaluation Exam.

The quality cell of the Karnataka Secondary Education Examination Board (which conducts SSLC exams) will prepare question papers, which will be evaluated at the district level by government and private schoolteachers. The Class 7 exams will be held in March.

The Common Evaluation Exam follows the Continuous Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) currently practised under the Right to Education Act. “The formative and summative assessments (tests, projects and quizzes) will be held as usual,”KG Jagadeesha, commissioner of public instruction, said.

Edu dept to launch helpline by March

For the March exam, summative assessment 2 will be held with half the syllabus. Other modalities (exam duration and total marks) will be announced next week,” said KG Jagadeesha. The CCE system will continue for classes 8 and 9. The government hopes the exam and subsequent interventions in classes 8 and 9 will boost students’ confidence for crucial board examinations.

Minister S Suresh Kumar said, “More than an exam, it’s an evaluation of a child’s knowledge. The Belagavi division has done something similar. The Kalaburagi zone found mathematics and science were areas of concern; language was an issue in Urdumedium schools.” The minister said zilla panchayat CEOs have observed that intervention should start from class 8. “Keeping this in mind, we’ve started necessary preparation for class 7 exam ,” he added.

The education department will start a helpline by March for students, teachers, school managements and educationists to 11 raise problems on day-to-day issues.

Bengaluru, Aug 3: Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa tweeted late Sunday night that he had tested positive for the novel coronavirus. 

In a brief post on Twitter, Mr Yediyurappa said that he was fine but had been hospitalised on the advice of doctors. While his daughter Padmavathi has also tested positive for the virus, the Chief Minister's son, Vijayendra, has tested negative.

The Chief Minister's media team has said he has been admitted to Manipal Hospital. Mr Yediyurappa, 77, also requested those who had come in contact with him to be wary of Covid symptoms and self-isolate.

"I have tested positive for coronavirus. Whilst I am fine, I am being hospitalised as a precaution on recommendation of doctors. I request those who have come in contact with me recently to be observant and exercise self-quarantine," the Chief Minister's tweet read.

The testing of the Chief Minister was done as part of the routine weekly tests he undergoes along with his staff. The results of Mr Yediyurappa's gunmen and security staff, around 50 of them, are expected today.

Staff members at Mr Yediyurappa's home office, Krishna, had tested positive early last month. 

At that time Mr Yediyurappa said: "I am going to discharge my duties from home from today for the next few days in view of some of the staff in the office-cum-residence Krishna testing positive".

Mr Yediyurappa had also met Karnataka Governor Vajubhai Vala in Bengaluru on Friday. State Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai was also present at the meeting.

The Chief Minister is the second high-profile political leader to confirm testing positive for COVID-19 today; hours earlier Union Home Minister Amit Shah tweeted similar news.

Mr Shah, 55, too said he was "fine" and that he had been hospitalised on the "advice of doctors".

The minister also asked all those who had been in contact with him over the last few days to "please isolate yourself and get your tests done".

The Home Minister was at a cabinet meet last week, at which top colleagues, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman were present.

All Covid norms, including social distancing, were followed at that meeting, sources said.

Last month Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan tested positive for the virus as well. He has been in hospital since then and tweeted today to say that he was well and, minutes after Mr Yediyurappa tweeted his Covid positive status, he posted a get-well-soon message.

"I pray to God for your speedy recovery, Yediyurappaji," Mr Chouhan wrote.

Mr Chouhan had tweeted a message for Mr Shah too. "Home Minister Amit Shah, may God help you recover soon, so you can serve the nation with full energy. Our best wishes are with you," his tweet read.

Former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah also tweeted, saying: "I wish BS Yediyurappa a speedy recovery and to return with good health to continue his work for the people".

Tamil Nadu Governor Banwarilal Purohit also tested positive today, Chennai's Kauvery Hospital, where he has been admitted, said. He is asymptomatic and clinically stable.

On Sunday morning the virus claimed the life of a UP minister - Kamal Rani Varun, 62, died at Lucknow's Sanjay Gandhi Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences.

Over the last 24 hours, 54,735 cases were reported, taking the total number of cases to 17,50,723, data from the Health Ministry showed.

The continuing spike in cases over the past weeks comes as India gradually re-opens its economy after more than four months of the world's strictest lockdown. Unlock3, the third phase of easing of restrictions, came into effect on Saturday.

It took just 185 days for India to cross the 17-lakh mark after the first case was reported in Kerala in January; it took 110 days to record the first 1 lakh cases. More than 60 per cent of total cases in the country and over 50 per cent of total deaths have been recorded in July.
