Mangalore, February 15: Karnataka Beary Sahithya Academy has expressed its resistance to the proposal of bringing it under the Karnataka State Wakf Foundation for Minority Welfare Department (MWD), while Urdu Academy is all set to be moved out of Department of Kannada and Culture (DKC).

Beary Academy President MB Abdul Rahman has said that he is not ready to agree with any proposal of linking the newly formed Academy with MWD. However, he clarified he did not receive any formal notification or proposal regarding switching off the control of the Academy from DKC.

“I had strongly opposed the proposal of merger between Urdu Academy and Beary Academy in the beginning. I have not received any formal notification or proposal of bringing my Academy under the ambit of MWD and if I receive such a proposal I will strongly oppose it”, he said.

Pointing out “ideological reasons” for his reluctance to join hands with MWD, Abdul Rahman said: “There are several Academies under the DKC and all of them are receiving uniform grant and priority and hence there is a common opportunity for the development of all the regional languages and culture. If the Beary Academy is put under MWD from DKC, it will lose a great opportunity.”

Although there are chances of receiving more grants if the Academy came under MWD, the question of harmony, uniformity and equality takes priority in this matter, he further added.

Karajola clarifies

Meanwhile, Kannada and Culture Minister Govinda Karajola has clarified that the government is currently thinking only about the reconciliation of Urdu Academy with MWD, although there was a proposal of bringing both Beary and Urdu Academy under its control.
