Manjeshwar, October 23: Two localites of the town were among the 60 fortunate people who were rescued after an Iranian ship carrying 73 voyagers sank in the Persian Gulf last Thursday.

They have been identified as Avinash (25), a resident of Hosangady near here and Mohammed Haneef (37), a resident of Peringady near here.

13 people including seven Indian divers, who had stuck underwater, when the ill-fated ship sank about 20 km off the oil rich nation's southern Assaloyeh port, have lost their lives. The tragedy occurred around 5:30 pm IST on October 20, when the ship was advancing towards the port from an offshore oil rig.

The seven deceased Indians were staffers of Mumbai-based firm Adsun Offshore Diving Contractors Pvt Ltd.

Both Avinash and Haneef contacted their family members over phone after the tragedy to inform that they were safe.

Hanif has been working in Iran for over eight years, while Avinash was serving as a caterer on board the ship. The latter had visited his hometown three months ago to attend his sister's marriage.

Bengaluru, Jan 5: BJP leader and Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa once again blamed the Congress of creating 'confusion' among the Muslim community over the Citizenship (Amendment) Act-2019 while launching a door to door campaign to dispel such rumors.

Yediyurappa was on a door-to-door campaign to make people aware of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act and to allay their fears.

"Unnecessarily, the members of Congress are creating confusion among the Muslim community. I assure you that not a single Muslim will be affected because of CAA," said B. S. Yediyurappa.

"Almost all previous Prime Ministers have supported it, now Congress is creating a problem so as to create confusion among Muslims. That's why we are out on the door-to-door campaign," he said.

The Citizenship Amendment Act, 2019, seeks to grant Indian citizenship to Hindu, Christian, Sikh, Buddhist and Parsi refugees from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh and who entered India on or before December 31, 2014.
