Mangalore, August 16: The arrest of Anna Hazare ahead of his indefinite fast in Delhi on Tuesday to protest a toothless anti-corruption bill approved by the cabinet, evoked several protests in the city of Mangalore too.

As soon as the news of Gandhian's detention began to spread, political parties and social organisations took to the streets in different part of this coastal city to vent their anger against Union Government and Delhi police, which detained Hazare at his residence in Mayur Vihar.

While some protesters burned the copies of Government's Lokpal Bill and effigies of the leaders of Union Government, others burned candles in the evening.

BJP Yuva Morcha and Mahila Morcha jointly staged a demonstration in the heart of the city. They burned copies of the Government's Lokpal Bill in front of the statue of Mahatma Gandhi situated in front of Town Hall.

The protesters shouted slogans against the Central government for what they called 'its corrupt policies'.

Srikara Prabhu, President, Mangalore City BJP criticised the central government for its drastic measures to silence the people fighting against corruption.

“Government can arrest one Anna. Because of his sacrifices thousands of Anna Hazares will surface all across the nation” he said adding that the Congress led government is against the people.

Kishore Kumar Shetty, President, Dakshina Kannada BJP Yuva Morcha accused the government of dividing the people by employing cheap tricks to win over the vote bank. “We are ready to fight for our nation. We are ready to sacrifice our lives”, he claimed and promised to enter the “Jail Bharo” campaign.

Karnataka: Tipu Sultan will remain in textbooks next academic year too

News Network

January 21,2020

Bengaluru, Jan 21: Controversial Mysuru ruler Tipu Sultan will remain in state-syllabus textbooks in the next academic year (2020-21) too. But the government will form another committee to look at the subject afresh.

"Efforts are on to give textbooks and uniforms the day schools open next academic year. After a discussion with the CM, we decided to not make any changes in the textbooks for the upcoming academic year,"said primary and secondary education minister S Suresh Kumar.

No political angle, says minister

However, we will form a committee to look into it again,” said the minister.

Three months ago, Madikeri MLA Appachu Ranjan had written to the minister seeking removal of contents on Tipu Sultan from Karnataka state syllabus books of classes 6,7 and 10. The minister said: “Appachu Ranjan is a five-time MLA. When he sent a letter, it’s my duty to seek an opinion on it. There’s no political angle here.”
