Sabhapathi announces JDS entry, lashes out at 'corrupt' Oscar

February 9, 2011

Udupi, February 9: Former Udupi MLA UR Sabhapathi, at a meeting of his followers held here on Wednesday formally announced his decision to join JD(S).

He said that he would meet JD(S) President HD Kumaraswamy and join the party in the presence of Devegowda and Kumaraswamy soon.

He would also take up a paadyathra in the district in March to galvanize the party and hold a mega convention of the party workers.

Sabhapathi questioned the amassing of wealth by Congress leader Oscar Fernandes. He said, “I brought Oscar to politics and former MP Manoram Madhwaraj questioned that move. At that time Oscar had a 'dabba' van, which we rebuilt for the party purpose. Six years back, during the last Rajya Sabha election, Oscar has disclosed his property to be Rs 6 crores. Today he has sites, flats in Bangalore. His property is worth Rs 15 crores. Where did he get all this from?,” Sabhapathi questioned.

Corruption in the state is not new. In 1965 itself the then Udupi MLA had encroached the government to build a factory, Sabhapathi said.

Former Mangalore Deputy Mayor Basheer Baikampady, former Co-operative leader Annaya Sherigar, former teacher Raghavendra Malpe, District JD(S) president Deviprasad Shetty, JD(S) Mahila Morcha President Shalini Shetty, State Yuva Morcha General Secretary Dilesh Shetty and others were present.

Mangaluru, Feb 5: ‘Forum for the justice of December 19 Mangaluru firing victims’ has demanded that the policemen who are responsible for the death of two innocent men in Mangaluru one-and-a-half months ago should be booked for homicide.

49-year-old Abdul Jaleel Kandak, a father of two, and 23-year-old Nausheen Kudroli, were killed in an arbitrary and unwarranted police firing during a disturbance occurred due to police baton charge in the city on December 2019.

Addressing a press conference, Forum’s convenor Abdul Jaleel Krishnapur said that a judicial inquiry commission should be set up to probe into the police firing which claimed two lives and injured many other innocent civilians.

“Already a murder case should have been filed against the policemen who opened fire on the people. Instead, false cases have been booked against many innocent people including the victims. This is a blot on the society,” he said.

He urged the government to direct the police department to drop false charges registered against the victims and take necessary action against the culprits in khaki.

He said that the Form demands Rs 25 lakh each compensation for the kin of the two men murdered by the police and Rs 15 lakh compensation for those who injured in police firing on December 19.

Comments

The passion of young Ms Tabassum and Social Working of today, particularly, gives me lot of hope. It almost feels like the political class wants to bring down India while the people are so hard working and committed to nation building.

Congratulation Miss. Way to go.

PS: Media has been compromised and fake news factories churn out crap daily. Thanks CD for bringing this news to readers.

CONGRATULATIONS.

Mrs.Tabassum's service for humanity is highly commendable.She looks after HIV & AIDS effected children with compassion like mother without expecting anything in returns.

She is the alumni of JF managed Green View PU womens college at Derealakette.

She deserve for more prestigious awards even like "Padma Shri" for her selfless and sincere services for the society and the nation.

All the best.

Fact Check | Will Masjid al-Haram and an-Nabawi open for public on Ramadan 8?

coastaldigest.com web desk

April 30,2020

In the wake of Saudi Arabia's assurance that Masjid al-Haram of Makkah and Masjid an-Nabawi of Madinah will be opened for believers after some days, a message has gone viral on social media claiming that both the holy mosques will open on Ramadan 8 (May 1).

The message which was widely circulated on Facebook and WhatsApp, also contained certain condition such as people should fetch their own prayer mats and that they should not use the washrooms in the mosques.

Clarification

Meanwhile, the authorities of the two holy mosques, issued a clarification that the claims made in the viral post are false and baseless.

"The message being circulated about the opening date for Haramiain (two holy mosques) for public is completely baseless and false. The suspension of prayers for general public is still in effect," they said in a social media post.
