The arrested have been identified as Santosh, Nitin and Dinesh, all said to be activists of Sri Ram Sena, an extremist Hindutva outfit which is responsible for several vigilante attacks and communal clashes in Karnataka.

The arrested trio was part of around 40 miscreants who stormed St Thomas Aided Higher Primary School at Padu Bondanthila near Neermarga on the outskirts of the city on Saturday morning, questioning why Arabic language was being taught.

Even though the miscreants initially had managed to pressurise the school administration against lodging complaint, later a case was registered at jurisdictional Mangaluru Rural Police Station.

City Police Commissioner M. Chandra Sekhar said they have registered cases of trespass and rioting against the Sri Ram Sena activists. Assistant Commissioner of Police (South) N.S. Shruthi on Saturday visited the school and gathered information from the management.

According to Melwyn Braggs, the headmaster of the School, they had been teaching German, French and Arabic to students for the last few years. This year, parents had, during the parent-teacher meeting, said they did not want French and German but wanted Arabic and karate classes to continue, he said.

While karate is taught on Friday, Arabic classes are held on Saturday, and the school management had made arrangements for teachers to teach these subjects. “Attendance to these classes was purely voluntary,” Mr. Braggs said, adding that only about 40 of the 59 students of classes 6 and 7 were attending the Arabic class. He rubbished the allegations of forcible and compulsory Arabic class.

In dubai You hindus request us to teach arabic because you people want to deal with arabic people to save your jobs and back home you play politics? You think you will get more emotional votes by doing this? Now people are educated and realise that all that you are doing is for the sake of money and power. Your fake hindutva mission will not stand for a long time when people realise that you are the only one benefited by it.

Mangaluru, Jun 12: A pregnant woman who returned from Maharashtra and tested positive for coronavirus on Wednesday, gave birth to a child at the Wenlock COVID-19 hospital in Mangaluru. After she experienced labour pain, a team of expert doctors performed the delivery through the caesarean section on Thursday.

Both the woman and the new born are safe, hospital sources said. The woman, who belongs to Kinnigoli in Dakshina Kannada district, had arrived in the city on Monday. She was in an advanced stage of pregnancy and was taken to another hospital the next day after she complained of weakness.

Bengaluru, Apr 8: In a strong show of support, Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa stood behind the minorities in the state and said no one should target the Muslim community over the coronavirus crisis and the Tablighi Jamaat.

He said those communalising the issue will be dealt with strictly.

BS Yediyurappa was speaking to a regional media channel when he said "Nobody should speak a word against Muslims. This is a warning. If anyone blames the entire Muslim community for some isolated incident, I'll take action against them also without a second thought. Will not allow that to happen."

Since then, many have welcomed the CM's remarks including the opposition.

Former Karnataka Congress president Dinesh Gundu Rao tweeted and said that other BJP leaders should follow the Karnataka CM and that it's a welcome step.

Congress president DK Shivakumar too said he agrees with the chief minister and that no one should target one community. "The CM should also act strictly against people posting communal remarks on social media and issue an order."

Earlier, Karnataka CM BS Yediyurappa held a meeting with minority opposition MLAs and MLCs and urged them to pass the message within the community asking those who had attended the Delhi Nizamuddin Markaz event to come and get tested for Covid-19.
