Mandya, Feb 11: A 19-year-old man was stabbed to death allegedly by four of his friends near a Dargah at Pandavapura in Mandya district yesterday following a clash between them over religious differences.

stabAccording to sources, the differences between two Muslim groups – Tablighi Jamaat and Barelvi – led to the murder of Luqman, son of Munavar Pasha, a local resident.

It is learnt that he was stabbed by Suhel (23), Wasim, Konda Pasha and Khaleel. Police arrested Suhel but others are at large.

According to the complaint lodged by the victim’s father, the suspects were pestering Luqman, who followed the Barelvi school of thought, to join Tablighi Jamaat. They decided to kill him when he didn’t accede. They stabbed him near a dargah in front of the KSRTC?bus depot around 10.30 am on Friday. He was taken to a hospital in Mysuru where he died from excessive bleeding.

The murder sparked tension in the town and police were deployed in Muslim neighbourhoods.

As the news began to spread, a few Muslim youths assaulted Asif, the head of Mahmoodiya Mosque, for allegedly instigating the suspects to induct Luqman into Tablighi Jamaat.

Luqman’s father said that a clash broke out between Suhel and Luqman on Thursday night and that he had approached the police to take action against Suhel but the police neglected the incident and did not register a case.

MLA?K?S?Puttanaiah and Superintendent of Police C H Sudheer Kumar Reddy visited the spot.

Istead of this kind of fights muslims should get together and fight against social evils like RSS and so on. Muslims can't be defeated in all over the world because we like death as much as kaafirs like life.

Bengaluru, Jul 29: Karnataka Congress President DK Shivakumar on Tuesday criticised BJP-led Karnataka government for limiting or omitting various topics including chapters on 18th century Mysore ruler Tipu Sultan and his father Hyder Ali.

Speaking to media here at Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) office, Shivakumar said Congress will not allow BJP government in Karnataka to "divert history".

"Tipu Sultan does not belong to one caste or a class. He is part of the history of this country. BJP government has removed chapters related to him for its political advantage. It is their decision whether they celebrate Tipu Sultan Jayanti or not, but he is part of our history. 

The President of this country Ramnath Kovind came to the Vidhan Sabha and praised Tipu's patriotism during a joint session," Shivakumar said.

"The BJP government has come to power today. Our history should not change. We will not let these people to covert or dilute history. This is the stand of the Congress party. Our experts will study the pros and cons of this decision," he added.

Shivakumar further said many countries around the world have praised the Constitution, Indian history and expressed their willingness to "adapt it".

"But the BJP is trying to curtail this. We need to educate our children. Our team will also study this and we will not let this happen," he said.
The Karnataka government, in a bid to reduce the syllabus for state board schools by 30 per cent, has limited or omitted various topics including chapters on Mysuru rulers Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan from the class 7 social science textbook.

The reduction in syllabus comes as schools are closed to prevent the spread of coronavirus in the state, and classes have been moved online.
The Department of Public Instruction of the Karnataka government also limited or removed various other topics from the syllabus of class 6 to 10 as they were repeated or can be alternatively taught.

Earlier, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) had revised the syllabus for the classes IX to XII for the academic session 2020-21 in a "one-time measure" owing to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Bengaluru, Apr 11:  Amid nationwide lockdown in the wake of COVID-19, former Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Saturday urged the state government to announce a relief package for farmers.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday held a video conference with Chief Ministers.

Taking to Twitter, Kumaraswamy wrote, "As the lock down continues, what action plan does the government have to tackle the challenges of ensuring marketing channels for farm produce with timely transport and ensuring uninterrupted supply of essential groceries to towns and cities?"

He later asked the government to act "swiftly and effectively".

"On one hand we see farmers throwing their produce in despair and losing their livelihoods. On the other hand supplies to towns are depleting. This is threatening both lives and livelihoods. The government must act swiftly and effectively," Kumaraswamy tweeted.

"I urge the state government to immediately announce relief package to farmers by way of direct benefit transfer mechanism and purchase all the agricultural produce so as to avoid farmer suicides," he added.

With 40 deaths and 1,035 new COVID-19 cases in the last 24 hours, India on Saturday witnessed a sharpest ever increase in coronavirus cases, taking the tally of the infected people in the country to 7,447, according to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.
