No compromise on Kannada land and language: CM at Sahitya Sammelana

November 18, 2011

Mangalore, November 18: There will be no compromise on the issues of Kannada language, land and border of the state, said Karnataka Chief Minister D V Sadananda Gowda.

He was speaking after inaugurating the 17th district Kannada Sahitya Sammelana organised by Dakshina Kannada District Kannada Sahitya Parishat at Sri Satya Sayi Seva Vidya Kendra at Alike in Bantwal taluk near here on Friday.

He said that all possible measures would be taken for the promotion of Kannada language.

He opined that Kannada is a rich language, which deserves to be identified at the national level and hence it has got the classical status. ”We have already bagged the classical status. Now our government's priority will be to implement it effectively”, he said.

Mr Gowda reiterated that there would be no closure of Kannada medium schools which are along the border.

“However, students with less strength would be transferred to another school which is nearby. The same would be applied to the teachers as well”, he added.

He said that the government will emphasise on usage of Kannada in every department of the state. “Everyone should contribute for the 100 per cent implementation of the same. Government is stern on its stand that Kannada education must be imparted to students at primary level itself and there will be no compromise in this issue,” he said.

The Chief Minister also said that a delegation would be formed under the leadership of Dharmasthala Dharmadhikari Dr D Veerendra Heggade in order to exert pressure on the Union government for the inclusion of Tulu in the 8th schedule of the Indian Constitution.

Santosh Hegde calls for peaceful coexistence, amity ahead of Ayodhya Bhumi Pujan

Bengaluru, Aug 4: As the stage is set for the ground-breaking ceremony for Ram temple construction at Ayodhya on Wednesday, retired Supreme Court judge N Santosh Hegde has called for the promotion of religious harmony and peaceful coexistence and respect for different faiths.

"It is a good idea to make that as an object of the temple so that there can be peace in the world," the former Solicitor General of India said when asked if the temple should be promoted as a symbol of national integration, and social and communal harmony.

Hegde said one of the most dangerous things for conflict today is religion. "In that background, there should be some effort from somebody or other to bring about peaceful coexistence, respecting each religion," the former Karnataka Lokayukta told PTI on Tuesday. "It is a good idea to start Bhumi Pujan as an indicator of that or foundation for developing harmony among various religions," he added.

The Supreme Court had in November last year paved the way for the construction of a Ram temple by a Trust at the disputed site of the Babri Masjid's demolition in Ayodhya. It also directed the Centre to allot an alternative 5- acre plot to the Sunni Waqf Board for building a new mosque at a "prominent" place in the holy town in Uttar Pradesh. The Uttar Pradesh government has allotted a five-acre land in Dhannipur village in Sohaval Tehsil of Ayodhya for the mosque's construction.

Dammam-Mangaluru first direct repatriation flight under VBM on June 21

June 10,2020

Mangaluru, June 10: The first direct repatriation flight from Damma to Mangaluru International Airport under Vande Bharat Mission will be operated on June 21.

Thousands of people from coastal districts of Karnataka are stranded without flights in different parts of Saudi Arabia after the announcement of covid lockdown in March this year.

Even though the government of India launched Vande Bharat Mission to repatriate Indian expatriate through special flights, no flight was scheduled from Saudi Arabia to Mangaluru.

Several organisations had exerted pressure on the government of India and government of Karnataka to bring back stranded Kannadigas from Saudi Arabia.

With the sole intention of helping the stranded Kannadigas, a few philanthropists in Saudi Arabia last month formed an NGO called Saudi Kannadigas Humanity Forum under the leadership of Zakariya Bajpe and Sheikh Expertise.

Khader warns of agitation if govt delays salaries of doctors, nurses fighting against corona

Mangaluru, May 30: Accusing the chief minister B S Yediyurappa led Karnataka government of ignoring frontline warriors against covid-19, Mangaluru MLA U T Khader has demanded immediate release of pending salaries of doctors, lab technicians and nurses hired under the National Health Mission.

Addressing a press conference in the city today, the former minister said that Congress would launch an agitation if the government fails to release the amount immediately.

The non-payment of salaries clearly shows that the government has no concern for the COVID-19 warriors who are serving on a contract basis for two months, he said.

Mr Khader said there are 23,000 personnel hired under the National Health Mission in Karnataka including 600 in Dakshina Kannada district alone. All of them are waiting for their salaries for the last two months.

“Asha workers were also partially paid for the month of April. If the government had concern towards COVID-19 warriors, they would have paid extra for the doctors, nurses, and other workers who are working tirelessly in the fight against COVID-19 at the grassroots level,” he added.
