Mangaluru, Aug 21: Expressing concern over reports of increasing terror activities in southwest coast of India, senior BJP leader and Union Minister D V Sadananda Gowda stressed on the need for taking measures to prevent the activities of IS in the region.

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, Aug 4: Police barricades, yellow banners, walls with a fresh coat of paint and the sounds of bhajan mark parts of Ayodhya as the city awaits its big day Wednesday, when the first brick will be laid for the Ram temple.

Ayodhya is decked up for the bhoomi pujan that will be attended at the Ram Janmabhoomi by 175 people, who figure in a select guest list of seers and politicians topped by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Concerned over the spread of coronavirus, the authorities are encouraging others not to come to the temple town, asking them to mark the occasion by celebrating at their homes. The groundbreaking ceremony will be telecast live.

Roads leading to Ayodhya display hoardings with the picture of the proposed Ram temple and of Ram Lalla, the infant Ram, the deity now housed in a makeshift temple.

Around the town’s Hanumangarhi area – named after a well-known temple which Modi will visit on Wednesday – both police sirens and ‘bhajans’ in praise of Ram are heard.

Most of the shops in the locality wear a new look, with their fronts painted in bright yellow. A large number of policemen were deployed there on Tuesday. Some sat in the sweet shops, waiting for their next instructions.

Roads leading into the area are barricaded. Yards of yellow cloth and marigold garlands were being hung on poles.

Even on the day before the event, security checks on vehicles heading to Ayodhya begin from adjoining Barabanki district itself on the Lucknow-Ayodhya road. Policemen take down details, including mobile numbers of the travellers.

Senior Superintendent of Police Deepak Kumar said the focus of the force is on maintaining the Covid-19 protocol.

“So we are not going to allow any outsider to enter Ayodhya city,” he said. Prohibitory orders are also in force and not more than four people will be allowed to gather.

“The markets and shops will remain open but with strict adherence to the Covid protocol,” he said. Outsiders will be stopped from entering the city, but Ayodhya residents will be allowed in if they produce any identification document.

“We are also carrying out random checks on people living in Ayodhya to ensure that no outsiders are staying here,” he said.

The city’s temples and mosques will remain open, but no other religious event – except for the bhoomi pujan – will take place on Wednesday.

Pickets have been set up at sensitive points in the city.

Sub-inspector Ram Chandra Yadav and constables Avnish Kumar and Ankit Chaudhary man the Terhi Bazar Chauraha picket near the Ram Janmabhoomi site.

"We are here for the past some days, and were on duty on the Rakshabandhan day. Duty comes first and only after that come other things in life, like festivals," Yadav said.

Mayank Gupta, who runs a restaurant, was handing out food packets to policemen, his customers.

"For the last two months, I have been providing tiffin to them twice a day. There are around 100 policemen to whom I supply tiffin," Gupta said.

Bengaluru, Jun 26: All efforts would be made to control the spread of coronavirus in the city and there will be no fresh lockdown, Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa on Friday said, asserting that improving economic situation of the state is also equally important.

Though the state capital was considered a model for the entire country in COVID management and has seen a spike in cases during the last few days, the pandemic can be controlled if everyone cooperated, he said.

His remarks come a day after Revenue Minister R Ashoka said Bengaluru is still 'safe' compared to the COVID-19 situation in other cities and states and had ruled out a fresh lockdown for now, putting to rest speculations that it was planning such a move in view of spike in cases.

As of Thursday evening, a total of 1,791 COVID-19 cases, including 78 deaths and 505 discharges, had been reported in the city while the state's tally stood at 10,560 compared to just 3,408 cases as on June 1. The state capital has the highest number of cases among the districts.

"There is no question of imposing lockdown for any reason. In some areas (with high case load) we have already implemented lockdown, other than those places there is no question of it being implemented in other places," Yediyurappa told reporters here.

Improving the economic situation of the state was also equally important, he said ahead of his meeting with Ministers, MLAs and MPs of all parties from Bengaluru to discuss measures to control COVID-19.

"I will discuss with all MLAs including those from opposition and Ministers from Bengaluru and come to some decision. With their cooperation we will make all honest efforts to control the pandemic in Bengaluru," he added.

Earlier, there had been intense speculation after some ministers said the government may have to consider re-imposing the lockdown, eased in phases from the middle of last month, in view of continuing spike in new cases in the past several days. Bengaluru was a "model" to the entire country in COVID management, but in recent days cases have increased, Yediyurappa said, adding to control it cooperation from everyone was necessary.

"I have confidence that if everyone (MLAs) pays special attention in their respective assembly constituency, COVID can be controlled," he said. Meanwhile, official sources said the Chief Minister has given Revenue Minister Ashoka the charge of overseeing the COVID management in the city.
