Mangaluru, Jan 22: Dismissing the rumours about his visit to a rowdy’s home during poll campaign in his constituency as baseless and false, Food and Civil Supplies Minister U T Khader has said that he never ever visited any rowdy’s home so far and would never stoop to such a low level in future too.

Speaking at a programme here on Sunday, Mr Khader, who had earlier preferred to ignore the mudslinging, said that he would retire from politics if the allegations of his association with any rowdy are proved to be true.

“My personal and political life is an open book. People of my constituency know me very well. They have always blessed me and supported me. It’s my duty to serve them. There is no necessity for me to make friendship with any rowdy,” he clarified.

A few Kannada TV channels and newspapers had recently claimed that Target Gang leader Eliyas who was hacked to death by rival gang members last week, was a in touch with Mr Khader.

Some media went on to claim that Eliyas’ wife Farzana had stated that Mr Khader used to visit their house and hang out with her husband during election campaign.

"Just because Eliyas was seen in a picture having lunch in a wedding party where I was also present, it does not mean that I was close to him. I cannot ask somebody to go away when they come and have lunch sitting next to me in a third person’s wedding party. But if you prove that I visited a rowdy’s house I will immediately retire from politics,” he said.

I request Khader bhai to retire from politics and spend time with his noble family. The people of Ullal really don’t deserve such a great leader. For them pett kammis are enough. Being a fan I really cant bear people making false allegations against a jewel like Mr Khader

Farzana did not give any statement to media. She is in iddah. One munafiq BJP leader made a fake letter viral in her name for political benefits. Communal media seized the opportunity to tarnish Khader’s image.

Bengaluru, Jan 15: Srishti Institute of Art, Design and Technology in Bengaluru has decided to remain shut for two days after a group of BJP workers wiped out graffiti on its outer walls claiming it as anti-Modi and allegedly warned them against any anti CAA agitation there.

According to sources, the group led by Yelahanka MLA S R Vishwanath allegedly even towed away some vehicles of students and faculty parked in front of the institute alleging that they were blocking the road and causing inconvenience to the local people.

Some students have alleged that they were threatened by BJP workers and also the institute's authorities regarding the graffiti and the blocking of the road using traffic police.

They even claimed that BJP workers warned them against organising any anti-NRC or CAA protests.

A few local residents are also said to have joined the BJP workers and raised complaints about the conduct of the institute's students.

According to local BJP workers, the MLA and a few party men had gone near the institute on receiving complaints from locals about vehicles parked there blocking the road, and when they came across the graffiti they painted it with saffron paint to avoid any controversy, and there was no altercation as being alleged.

However, there is no clarity on who drew the graffiti regarding Modi, which according to BJP workers allegedly depicted the PM in poor light.

The institute has declared holiday on Thursday and Friday to avoid any further escalation, keeping the interest and safety of students in mind, sources said.

Interestingly, on Tuesday graffiti had appeared overnight on the shutters of some shops and walls on the Church Street against Modi, CAA and NRC, following which the city police have launched an investigation.

Mangaluru, Aug 7: A woman suffered critical injuries after a speeding car knocked down her scooter and then ran over her at Kadri Kambla Junction in the city today.

The woman identified as Vanishri Bhat (22) a resident of Kedila from Puttur. 

A CCTV footage of the accident, which went viral on social media, shows the car hitting the scooter, pushing the woman on road for a couple of meters before climbing over her.

The car stopped when she was under it. A few people including a policeman lifted the car from the front and rescued the woman. 

She was immediately taken to a private hospital in Mangaluru City MLA U T Khader’s car which was passing through that way. 

She has suffered critical injuries on her head, ribs, hands and legs, sources said. She is reportedly responding to treatment. 

It may be recalled that in December last year a lorry-auto accident at the same spot claimed life of a 56-year-old teacher while the auto driver miraculously survived. Following the accident, speed breakers were installed at the junction.
