Mangaluru, Dec 24: A group of leaders and activists of saffron outfits such as Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal on Saturday gathered at Kadri Sri Manjunatha temple to protest the action of authorities to contain ‘sound pollution’ following a complaint by a few Christian neighbours.

They demanded the immediate withdrawal of the restrictions limiting the sound of various programmes on the temple premises. “There should not be any double standards by the government. If restrictions on sound are to be clamped, it should be across all communities,” said VHP district president Jagadish Shenava.

Blanny D’Souza, a resident of an apartment near the temple, and eight others had petitioned the Deputy Commissioner and Assistant Commissioner (Endowment) in August 2016 seeking restriction on sound system on the temple premises for overnight programmes , including annual temple fair, mosaru kudike, Yakshagana and Nema (a ritual).

With no action from authorities, Mr. D’Souza made similar complaints to the Mayor and City Police Commissioner during the first week of December. Following these complaints, the Endowment Department limited the sound within the temple premises, including for two Yakshagana programmes.

Meanwhile, Varadaraja Baliga, one of the signatories, accused Mr D’Souza of misusing his signature and filed a police complaint. “I do not have any problem with the sound at night. My signature has been misused by Mr. D’Souza for a complaint that is politically motivated,” he complained.

Bengaluru, Jul 27: Former Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy said that when COVID-19 has made life and livelihoods difficult, it is unfortunate that charges have been levelled of irregularities in the procurement of COVID-19 equipment.

"The Congress which has levelled charges against the ruling BJP has not so far filed a complaint with any investigating agency. Instead, the Congress has limited itself to getting publicity. On the other hand, the ruling BJP instead of coming clean by ordering a probe into the main charges is indirectly admitting the scam," Kumaraswamy said on Sunday.

"By washing dirty linen in public, both the Congress and the BJP are playing a cruel joke on people instead of protecting their lives," he said.

Hitting out at the BJP, he asked, "Why is it that the BJP is not ordering an investigation into the Rs 2,000 crore Covid 19 corruption charges levelled against the government by the Congress? Why is the government keeping quiet on the corruption charges?"

He said, "Is this the leadership provided by Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa? There could be political pressure on seeking resignation of his Ministers. But why has no action been initiated against any officers? Is there any effort to destroy the evidence by retaining officers in their existing postings?"

"Hunger for publicity is evident when we look at the press conference by five Ministers at a time," he said.

The government has countered the charges of the Congress but backtracked on ordering an investigation, he said.

"Would this not give rise to suspicion that the government is involved in the scam?" he asked.

He also asked why Congress leaders have not filed a complaint before any investigating agency despite "possessing documents to prove the charges".

"Are the Congress leaders trying to get publicity or are they concerned about the welfare of the people? The Congress Legislative Party leader is seeking an account (Lekka Kodi) while the BJP president is seeking answers (Uttara Kodi). Is it enough to give such questions and answers?"

Is there a concrete legal plan to deal with the irregularities? he asked.

"Looking at the way the Congress leaders have addressed media conferences and taken to social media campaigns, it appears that they are trying to get publicity," he said.

New Delhi, Apr 19: The government on Sunday prohibited the sale of non-essential items through e-commerce platforms during the ongoing lockdown, four days after allowing such companies to sale mobile phones, refrigerators and ready-made garments.

Union Home Secretary Ajay Bhalla issued an order excluding the non-essential items from sale by the e-commerce companies from the consolidated revised guidelines, which listed the exemption given to the services and people from the purview of the lockdown.

The order said the following clause -- "E-commerce companies. Vehicles used by e-commerce operators will be allowed to ply with necessary permissions" -- is excluded from the guidelines.

The previous order had said such items were allowed for sale through e-commerce platforms from April 20.

However, the reason for reversing the order is not known immediately.
