Mangalore, October 25: The BJP is sure of getting outstanding response to Advani's Rathyathra, which will be entering the district on October 30.


Addressing a news conference in Mangalore on Monday after holding discussion over the preparations required to welcome L K Advani's Rathyathra, BJP General Secretary C T Ravi said that the 41-day long yatra intends to spread awareness against corruption, stress on bringing back the black money hoarded in foreign banks and to take measures to make administrative mechanism more efficient.


“Party workers from Belthangady and Bantwal will come to the city in a 'padayatra' and express support to the Rathyatra of Advani, he said adding that as many as 30 different wings have been formed for the success of the yatra in the state,” he said.


Sixth rathyatra


“This is the 6th rathyatra of 84-year old Advani. With his clean character and credibility that he has maintained over 57 years of political life, he is in a position to face any challenge,” said Ravi.


Guilty will be punished


Ravi said that corruption has engulfed even the BJP but it has not smothered the party. He said that senior leader L K Advani will be giving out a clear message through his rathayatra that wrong doers and guilty will not be spared at any cost.


With regard to Home Minister R Ashoka, Ravi said that there are only allegations, and not been proved yet. Hence there is no question of keeping him away at all.


“Advani will surely visit Bangalore and R Ashoka will take part in the programme to be held there,” he said adding that if the allegations are proved against any BJP leaders then they will be expelled from the party without any second thoughts.


“B S Yeddyurappa tendered his resignation as soon as the Lokayukta report was out. But there are people like Raj Kumar in Sheela Dixit's cabinet who have not stepped down from the post despite the allegations being proved,” he said adding that BJP leaders have set examples for others through their conduct.

Dubai, May 18: An Indian working in a mining company in the UAE has become the latest expatriate to have lost his job for hate-filled social media posts targeting Islam and Muslims.

Brajkishore Gupta was fired without notice for calling Indian Muslims 'coronavirus spreaders' and hailing the Delhi violence as 'divine justice' in his Facebook posts.

Gupta, who is from Chapra, Bihar, was employed by Stevin Rock, a mining company headquartered in Ras Al Khaimah city.

"This isolated incident involving a junior employee was investigated and dealt with immediately resulting in the termination without notice of this person's employment with Stevin Rock," said the company's business development and exploration manager Jean-Francois Milian.

"Our company policy supports the direction of the UAE government in promoting tolerance and equality and strongly renouncing racism and discrimination and we have sent communications to all of our employees irrespective of their religious or ethnic background reminding them that any such behaviour is unacceptable and will lead to immediate dismissal," Milian was quoted as saying in the report.

Three Indians based in the UAE were either fired or suspended from their jobs for "Islamophobic" posts on social media early this month.

On April 20, India's ambassador to the UAE Pavan Kapoor had warned Indian expatriates against such behaviour.

"India and UAE share the value of non-discrimination on any grounds. Discrimination is against our moral fabric and the Rule of law. Indian nationals in the UAE should always remember this," he said in a tweet.

Last month, Sharjah-based businessman Sohan Roy had to apologise for "unintentionally hurting religious sentiments" through his poem, which alluded to a Muslim religious group.

In March, chef Trilok Singh was fired from a restaurant in Dubai for an online threat against a student in Delhi over her views on the Citizenship Amendment Act.

Mangaluru, Jan 13: Supporting former state chief minister and JD(S) leader HD Kumaraswamy who released a "CD on the December 19 Mangaluru violence", Dakshina Kannada party unit president Mohammed Kunhi on Monday demanded a probe into the violence.

Mr Kumaraswamy, who released 35 video clips related to the violence, had demanded the suspension of the Police Commissioner and also sought a house committee to probe the incident.

Addressing media personnel here, Kunhi questioned, "If the police department did not commit any mistake why is the state government looking worried about the CDs released by Kumaraswamy?"
