Addressing the protesters in front of DC office, MLC?Motamma questioned the double standards' of Prime Minister?Narendra Modi who kept mum during a series of attacks on Dalits and others in the garb of cow vigilantes were reported in the country and spoke only after Dalits boycotted BJP rallies in poll-bound Uttar Pradesh.

Ms. Motamma said members of groups such as Bajrang Dal and Hindu Jagran Vedike were continuing with their attacks on Dalits in Karnataka and other parts of the country.

She said that instead of showing “lip sympathy,” Mr Modi should take action to help Dalits solve their economic and social troubles.

Referring to the recent incident at Shantipura in Chikkamagaluru district, where a youth was roughed up for bringing beef, that led to disfiguring of his hands and legs, Motamma called the attackers inhuman. Going a step ahead, she also described the right wing activists as man-eaters', who are under the illusion that they are the only protectors of cows.

All India Congress Committee member P.V. Mohan said Mr. Modi was speaking against attacks on Dalits to get more votes in the forthcoming Assembly elections in UP. “It is no surprise to hear the PM speak against attacks on Dalits. He is aware that they form a big vote base,” he said.

Mangaluru South MLA J R Lobo called on the party workers to instil confidence in the minds of Dalits, by visiting their colonies. The Dalits are a traumatised lot now, living under constant fear, he added.

Earlier a rally was taken out from Town Hall to the deputy commissioners office. Chief Whip in the Legislative Council Ivan D'Souza, Mangaluru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) Chairman Ibrahim Kodijal – who is also the acting president of Dakshina Kannada District Congress Committee – and others were present.

Only Mischievous does not want to understand this crocodile cry from Modi. if they understand their jobs of looting, hitting innocent, raping and other evil acts will be lost...
Fear the one who created U and me and all that exists... He has given life and he will account our deeds and will judge with justice.
Dont think U will get away with it.
Sudar jao... RSS will not come to rescue you when angel of death comes with all the evil deeds...
God is all forgiving .. He forgives every sin except associating partners with him... So ask forgiveness and repent and promise to never commit mischief to others again... God forgive every sincere repentance... God is great.

Bengaluru, Feb 10: Two Iranian nationals have been arrested by the Karnataka police for allegedly stealing money from car showrooms by diverting cashiers’ attention in Mangaluru, Udupi and Bengaluru.

The arrested are Saeed Rostami, 26 and his friend Saber Hossein Eghbalzadeh, 35, are both residents of Tehran and in India on tourist visa. They were caught by the sleuths of Bengaluru’s RMC Yard police station.

The accused would approach the cashiers, asking for change for Rs 2000 notes to divert their attention and flee with cash from the showroom. 

The duo landed in New Delhi on January 16. Later, they arrived in coastal Karnataka before reaching Bengaluru on February 1. 

The same day around 4pm, the two visited Trident Automobile Pvt Ltd’s service centre in RMC Yard. They went to cashier Kiran and sought change for Rs 2000. One of them dropped the note and Kiran picked it up for him. Meanwhile, Kiran also noticed there was no change in his cash box and informed the duo accordingly. 

“Kiran later realised Rs 44,000 was missing from the cash box. He verified CCTV footage and found the two visitors stole the money when he bent down to pick up the Rs 2000 note,” a police officer said.

Kiran filed a theft and cheating case against the men. RMC Yard police suggested Kiran circulate the footage at other car showrooms and service centres as they had heard about similar incidents being reported from Udupi, Mangaluru and other places in Bengaluru.

“Sharing of CCTV footage helped us nab the suspects. They visited a showroom near Cauvery junction on Ballari Road on February 6. The staff noticed the duo and realised they were the same guys, who had stolen the money at RMC Yard and informed us,” said police.

Bengaluru, Feb 5: The Karnataka government on Tuesday launched the Janasevaka scheme in a few municipal corporation wards to ensure home delivery of various services like ration cards, senior citizen identity and health cards.

The scheme, which was launched by Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa, will pertain to 53 services involving 11 departments.

"Janasevaka under the Sakala scheme is a programme to avail the benefits of government schemes at the doorstep. Our objective is to make the lives of the citizens of Karnataka easy by launching this scheme," the Chief Minister said. Sakala aims to ensure in-time delivery of government services to citizens by practising innovative and efficient management systems through capacity building in government and empowering citizens to exercise their right to service.

Minister for Sakala and Primary and Secondary Education S Suresh Kumar said: "The scheme that was implemented in Dasarahalli area on a pilot basis will now be extended to Mahadevapura, Bommanahalli and Rajajinagar areas."

He added that it will benefit the senior citizens of the city.

If the scheme works well, it will be implemented across Bengaluru in all the 27 assembly segments, Kumar said, adding that based on the experiment in Bengaluru, it will be extended to Mysuru, Mangaluru and Hubballi-Dharwad.

Under the scheme, there will be one volunteer in each ward. These volunteers have been outsourced. A toll-free helpline has been set up for this scheme which will work from 8 am to 8 pm.

A sum of Rs 115 will be charged to provide the home delivery services.

In addition to it, the Karnataka government has also decided to seek information under the RTI Act easy by making it online.

People can apply from home by paying the fee online. This will make the process hassle-free, the Chief Minister said.
