Bengaluru, Oct 14: Popular Front of India, which is facing the prospect of a ban by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led NDA government, is all set to flaunt its strength in Karnataka as thousands of its members across the state are toiling restlessly to make the organisation’s grand conference in Bengaluru a grand success.

The organisers expect unprecedented turnout for its conference being held at the Palace Ground with a slogan “we also have something to say” on October 15. Women and children are also expected to take part in large numbers. The social media cell of the PFI has been actively campaigning for over a fortnight. For past couple of days it is trying to trend #BengaluruWithPFI on twitter. The organisers have also sought the support of JD(S) leader supremo H D Deve Gowda and a few other prominent politicians in the state.

According to a release issued by the organisers, the cultural activities will begin at 1 p.m. and the formal programme would be inaugurated at 2:30 p.m. by E Abubaker, Chairman of PFI. Muhammed Saqib, the State President of Popular Front will preside over the conference.

H D Deve Gowda, Oscar Fernandes, Former Union Minister, Moulana Muhammed Umrain Mehfooz Rahmani, National Secretary, All India Muslim Personal Law Board, Jnanaprakash Swamiji, Urilingapeddi Mutt, Mysuru,  K.S. Puttannaayya, MLA, Melukote, Zameer Ahmed, MLA, Chamarajapete, Naseer Ahmed, Chairman, Minority Commission, Karnataka, B T Lalita Nayak, Former Minister, AK Subrayya, Former President, Kannada Pustaka Pradhikara,  Kodihalli Chandrashekhar, State President, Rajya Raita Sangha, Hasirusene, B. Gopal, President, Praja Parivartana Party,  L. Hanumanthayya, former MLC,  Mohan Raj, State President, Dalit Swabhimani Sangarsha Samiti, B.R.Bhaskar Prasad, State Convenor, Dalit Damanitara Swabhimani Vedike, are the invited guests.

A release issued by the PFI state that the organisation has its presence throughout the country with many lakhs as its members and many more lakhs as its supporters. “From its inception, it has been trying to empower the downtrodden by actively engaging them in social, educational, professional and political fields. For decades, the organization has been resisting democratically against the fascist forces. These forces, apart from spreading hatred in the society, are working vigorously against some of the fundamental rights guaranteed to each and every citizen of the country,” it said.

“After the BJP came to the power in the Centre the denial of the fundamental rights has become rampant. Anyone critical of the Government or the BJP is promptly labeled “anti-national”. The licenses of thousands of NGOs have already been cancelled by this government. It has banned IRF, the organization founded by the religious scholar Zakir Naik. Various other organizations are in verge of getting banned. The activists have been falsely accused, defamed, imprisoned for the crime of criticizing the Government. Numerous false allegations were made on Teesta Setalvad, which has made her embroil in legal battle against the state. Criticizing the government is now considered as an act of treason,” it said.

“The BJP has been misusing the investigative agencies for political purposes. The NIA is allegedly investigating PFI as it is critical of BJP and RSS. A few media houses which have become the propaganda tool of the current regime have been spreading lies against the organization. To expose the lies spewed by them and unveil the truth, the organization has started a countrywide campaign with the rallying cry “We also have something to say”. Various programs including massive conferences have already been held throughout the country,” it added.

Bengaluru, Mar 27: India should take a cue from the UK and Italy and allow final year medical students to skip exam and bring them into the hospital system immediately to fight the war against COVID-19, noted cardiac surgeon Devi Prasad Shetty on Friday said.

The Chairman and Founder of the city-based Narayana Health said there should be some reforms in medical education like the UK and Italy.
In the UK, he noted, final year medical students have been told that they don't need to appear for the exam, and they will be given pass based on the past performance and they can get into the hospital system to fill the shortage.

Italy got 10,000 more doctors following the move to cut short the duration of MBBS by nine months, according to him.

COVID-19 battle can be only won by young doctors and young nurses. Its like a war, Shetty told PTI.

He said: Senior doctorsnone of them will be able to touch the patients because they are past the age of 50. A person who is past the age of 50 is very vulnerable himself.

This is a very contagious disease. "But we dont have that many battalion (of doctors). We need one and half lakh doctors to manage all these government
hospitals and private hospitals (to fight COVID-19)", he added.

Mangaluru, Jan 1: Led by two local MLAs belonging to Bharatiya Janata Party, dozens of people today forcibly stopped toll fee collection at Talapady toll gate on the outskirts of the city allowing vehicles plying between Karnataka and Kerala on the national highway 66 to travel without paying any fee for some time.

Mangaluru City South MLA D Vedavyasa Kamath and Mangaluru City North MLA Y Bharat Shetty, who led the workers, said that the Navayuga Udupi Tollway Pvt. Ltd. (NUTPL), the concessionaire of the about 90-km-long highway widening project between Talapady and Kundapura in Karnataka, had failed to complete the project since over a decade.

The service roads and two flyovers under the project remained uncompleted. Hence motorists were facing a hardship. Notwithstanding Nalin Kumar Kateel, Dakshina Kannada MP, arranging ₹56 crore loan to the NUTPL through Axis Bank to complete the prominent Pumpwell flyover in the city, the company had failed to complete it.

The MLAs said that they stopped the toll collection as a symbolic protest to bring pressure on the company to complete the project within this month.

The BJP workers who gathered near the toll gate around 7.30 a.m. forcibly removed the barricades and made the vehicles ply without paying the fee. The workers of the company managing the toll booth did not resist.

The BJP workers said that vehicles would ply without paying toll till about 6 p.m. If the company resumed the collection during the day on Wednesday, the party workers would again forcibly stop it on Thursday, they said.

Shivaprasad Rai, in-charge of toll collection of the company at Talapady, Hejmady and Sasthana on the same highway told The Hindu that the NUTPL collected about ₹7 lakh as toll fee daily at Talapady from over 12,000 vehicles. The loss on Wednesday could be about ₹4 lakh.

The project is being implemented under build, operate and transfer basis.
