Stop propogating lies as RSS Do . Shimoga violence was ignited by RSS at the end of the rally tale where Women and children were moving along with ...all of a sudden RSS started pelted stones using abusive words which was leaked one of RSS goons video clips....dont play with lies ,,by which you will end up life like Hitler

JAI PFI....and Mr.Shafi Bellare clearly given statement that we have nothing to do with such incident

SayYes to PEACE and INTEGRITY and ISayNo to Lies, Drama to smritiirani and Communal Violence Mastermind is narendramodi

we want safety n security frm daily communal violence,punishment to rioters n rapists

Well modi took us down the wrong path. A path littered with hate, communal violence, intolerance

We need #Azaadi from political pressure groups that instigate communal violence for their own ulterior motives.

I do not support BJP because of their communal politics. I do not support CPM because of their politics of violence:

This is a case of inciting violence and disrupting communal harmony. Pretty sure there are grounds for arrests.

Any Party take the advantage of the poor people for their gain, give respect to the life, Humanity,.

Majority communalism, dangerous in itself, becomes deadly when it becomes the official ideology of the state

RSS is National enemy within. For it Communal violence is not blood of fellow Indians, it is additional votes generated

You find religion in Bharat Mata Ki Jai. But No religion in Allah Hu Akbar during hate speaches and communal violence.

I can't say it often enough: Fascism IS violence. When anti-fascists respond with communal self-defense, it is a heroic action.

Despite of serious communal violence ignited by PFI in shimoga, they r given permission 2 hold rally in Mysuru today Ban PFI,a terrorist outfit

Peaceful Mysuru city is witnessing violence.

I am a strong advocate of non-violence. And it is sad that an RSS man was killed in Mysuru!

Politics even in death, these politicians play!

see goons !!!!

Home Minister and Police dept must take strict action against trouble maker first including the person and groups behind murder. And on groups like BD and their god father, no excuse straight away send them behind bar at least for 6 months.

With in SIX months, all we can experience permanent peace of life all over KARNATAKA.

IT firms in Karnataka advised to allow employees to work from home amid virus panic

News Network

March 15,2020

Bengaluru, Mar 15: The Karnataka government on Saturday said it would advice IT companies to allow employees to work from home as most coronavirus affected patients or their relatives were from this sector.

"If anybody (IT companies) asks (employees to work in the office),I will speak to them through the deputy chief minister so that they take steps to issue a definite order. We have very clearly said, Stay Home, stay safe," medical education minister Dr K Sudhakar said. He recalled that the chief minister himself had issued a strict advisory to allow employees work from home.

The minister said the IT sector understands the gravity of the situation because they are educated, have travelled abroad and have more exposure to information world. "No action," he said to a question on what action would be taken against companies who do not follow the instructions.

"There is no action to be taken. We have not promulgated any law. It should be a kind of a cohesive approach from the government and the responsible citizen," he said.

The minister said he had also acted on the advice of Infosys Foundation chairperson Sudha Murty, who had told him that all areas where public and students gather, including malls, theatres, schools and colleges, should be closed.

Sudhakar claimed that the woman whose husband had tested positive for cornavirus here, had flown straight to Delhi from the city and had not come out of Bengaluru airport. He said the newly-wed couple came to Bengaluru airport on March 8 night and early on March 9, she flew alone to Delhi. From there she travelled to Agra by train. She did not come out of the airport, said the minister.

To a question on legal action being contemplated against her, the minister said he would take a call said he was not thinking of legal action at present and would take a call only after the woman, who has also tested positive for the virus, comes out of isolation. He insisted that the purpose of getting details was not to scare people.

On the preparedness in Kalaburagi, where the first Coronavirus death in India was reported, he said the administration had 'clamped down" the entire district. Meanwhile, the deputy commissioner of Ballari district ordered cancellation of tourists' entry to the world heritage site of Hampi from March 15 to 22 to prevent further spread of the virus.
