Mangalore, July 31: Sri Rama Sene supremo Pramod Mutalik on Sunday alleged that the proposed Bill on prevention of communal violence was loaded against majority Hindu community and was just another minority appeasement measure by Sonia Gandhi led UPA government.

Addressing the media persons in the city, Mr Mutalik said the 'draconian' Bill, which is expected to come up in next parliament session, is nothing but a weapon to target Hindu leaders. “All the members in National Advisory Council (NAC) who prepared this bill are anti-Hindus and one of them is foreigner”, he pointed out.

“No Muslim countries in the world have a Bill like this,” he opined adding that the NAC should have included saints, Mutt pontiffs while making this bill.

Bhatkal concern

Mr Mutalik also expressed his grave concern for 'no arrest' in connection with the recent Mumbai blasts. He said it is unfortunate that every blast in the county has direct link with Karnataka, especially coastal belt and Bhatkal.

The Jagannath Shetty Commission, which probed the Bhatkal riots, had pointed out the presence of terrorist elements in coastal Karnataka, he said.

RSS link-a fashion

To a query about RSS link into the recent Mumbai blast he said, “It has become a fashion to link the Rastriya Swayam Sevak Sangh to every blast that takes place in the country”

'Politics unfortunate'

Commenting on the confusions in the politics, Mr Mutalik said it was unfortunate and people of Karnataka were disappointed by the BJP led state government. “They have cheated the people,” he said.

Prasad Athavara, Kumar Malemar, Mahesh and others were present.

Bengaluru, Mar 27: A 65-year-old coronavirus patient who died in Karnataka this morning after apparently contracting the infection on a train ride has raised concern about community transmission of the highly contagious disease.
The man, the 60th coronavirus patient in Karnataka, died in Tumakuru. It is not known for certain how he caught the virus. The Karnataka Health Department has posted a notice on Twitter asking whoever travelled with him on train to come forward.

He had no history of recent foreign travel but had apparently traveled to Delhi on March 5 by Sampark Kranti Express and returned on March 11.

On March 7, he arrived at Delhi's Nizamuddin station and participated in an event at Jamia Masjid.

The man took a train back on March 11 and arrived at Yeshwantpur in Bengaluru. From there, he took a bus on March 14 to his hometown Sira.

He first showed symptoms of COVID-19 on March 18 and was taken to a private hospital. He was sent home with medicines but his condition worsened.

On March 23, he was admitted to a district hospital, but checked himself out against all advice and went to a private hospital. When his health showed signs of deterioration, he was again sent to the district hospital, where he tested positive for coronavirus yesterday. He died around 10.30 am today.

The health department has since traced 24 people who came in direct contact with him and are so, in the high-risk category. Thirteen are in hospital and eight have tested negative.

"All passengers who had travelled with him on the train are being traced," K Rakesh Kumar, Deputy Commissioner, Tumakuru, was quoted as telling news agency ANI.

A 70-year old woman and a 76-year old man had died of coronavirus or COVID-19 earlier in Karnataka.

India has over 700 coronavirus cases, including 17 deaths.
