February 23, 2012

Mangalore, February 23: The Karnataka chapter of Social Democratic Party of India is organising district wise mega conferences across the state with the slogan 'People's Political Conferences'. The conferences have been scheduled from January to March.

Revealing this at a press meet here on Thursday SDPI State Committee member Hanif Kodaje said that the party has geared up with all its potential to create political awareness and spread its vitalness among common people.

“With such an intention, the party is organizing state-wide district level public gatherings with the slogan 'People's Political Conference' – People's March to Power. As part of it, the district committee of Dakshin Kannada has decided to hold the People's Political Conference on March 2, at Nehru Maidan, in the city”, he said.

Abdul Jalil K, SDPI DK district president said that the Party's national president E Abubakkar, General Secretary Hafiz Mansur Ali Rajasthan, Tamilnadu M.P Thol Thirumavalam, SDPI Karnataka state president Abdul Majeed Kodlipete, president of Farmer Union Kodihalli Chandrashekhar, SDPI Karnataka state secretary Hemalatha and other national and state leaders of the party are expected take part in the programme.

Dedicated cadres of SDPI across the state have been equipped with the essentials required to give the People's Political Conference a lasting impression and making it a great success. Caravans, corner meetings, get-togethers, seminars, rallies, street plays, and public meetings are the tools that are being utilized by the well-trained teams to effectively publicize the events to attract the masses, he said.

“With 'People's March to Power', SDPI is heading towards each village and town across the state to empower the common people with the political awareness. All citizens of our nation irrespective of their religion, creed and language should get representation in power proportionate to the count of population. All the backward and deprived classes should get equal share in education, employment, land ownership, and other fundamental rights in all domains. SDPI wishes to strengthen the system of Secularism, socialism and democracy that are the components of our Constitution”, Mr Kodaje said.

He also said that the so-called national and regional political parties like Congress, BJP, Communist, JDS, BSP, etc. have totally failed in finding solutions to the problems of the people. Of these political parties, some are being ruled by specific families and some by upper-classes and our administration is abided by corporate. Corrupt politicians are hurling in scandals of billions of rupees. Many of such politicians have already been to and are in jails for their immoral and corrupt practices. And many more such public representatives are yet to be welcomed in the jails for their corruption. There should be a full stop to the election of representatives who are corrupt and communal, he added.

He said, both Congress and BJP have the same kind of foreign policies and economic policies. Foreign Investment Policies are being framed by the Governments, which are in favour of capitalists and are against the welfare of the common people, he said.

Akbar Ali, General Secretary, SDPI, D K district, Nasir Sajeepa, Vice president and Abubakkar Kulai President, SDPI, Mangalore City Corportation Committee were present at the press meet.

Mangaluru, Jul 24: Parents in Dakshina Kannada are urging the educational institutions to reduce fees at least by 75% as most of the infrastructure and resources are not being utilized due to online classes. 

“School campuses are now closed. Why we have to pay such a heavy fee when our children are not availing the facilities offered on campus?” asks a Sapna (name changed), a parent, whose two daughters study at a prestigious private school in Mangaluru.  

Even though some schools considered as small players have reduced fees, most of the “prestigious” institutions in the Mangaluru have so far refused to give any discount.

“Apart from paying school fees, now we have to invest in gadgets, internet connections and accessories required for online classes. School administration can use their infrastructure and facilities for other purposes as students are not utilizing them. Hence, they must give us maximum discount during this pandemic,” said another parent.  
 
On the other hand, many parents are facing a dire financial situation due to covid-19 lockdown – while some have suffered losses in their business some have lost their jobs.

Many parents have even approached the education department to ensure that they get a discount in fees from educational institutions, said Dakshina Kannada DDPI Malleswamy.

“We cannot do anything since a government circular has asked educational institutions not to hike fees, which they have not done, and reduce fees if possible, which will never happen. The department is acting against only those schools that forcefully collect fees,” the DDPI said.

Bengaluru, Feb 10: The Rashtriya Swyamsevak Sangh (RSS) on Sunday conducted a route march (Pathsanchalan) in Ramanagara to express solidarity with the anti-Christian forces protesting against a project to install 114-feet tall Jesus Christ statue atop Kapalabetta in Harobele town in Kanakapura taluk in Ramanagara district.

Hindutva ideologue Kalladka Prabhakara Bhat, who had led a rally in Kanakapura last month against the project, also led the Sunday’s route march and addressed a public meeting following the march.

“The district name is Ramanagara, but they have not nurtured the culture of Ram here. They have developed a strong culture of Ravana, which we pledged to dislodge,” Bhat told the gathering.

He said the Sangh Parivar will never allow the statue to come up as he said it would foment religious conversion that is rampant in Harobele.

“The so called Kapalabetta is of stones, which are revered as Lord Muneswara by the Hindus. This hillock must be named as Muneswara Betta,” he added.

Referring to the ongoing protests against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA), Bhat said the law was brought in to protect the Hindu minority in Pakistan and Bangla Desh.

“The Muslims living in India hail Pakistan. But when we ask them to go to Pakistan, they will never go,” he took a jibe at the minority community.

Reacting to the RSS route march, senior Congress functionary DK Shivakunar, who represents Kanakapura assembly seat, said the Sangah Parivar is trying to disturb the communal harmony in the district and they will never succeed in it.

“The BJP is operating through the Sangh Parivar in the Ramanagara district. The party has won as may as 26 Lok Sabha seats in Karnataka, still they are doing all these things to keep their support base. People of Ramanagara will never back them,” said Shivakumar.
