Mangalore, March 5: Veera Yodha Yadav Friends Trust will celebrate the decennial celebrations on March 11 at Ammunje here, by laying the foundation for “Amarashree”, a building in tribute to the brave soldier who laid down his life in the service of the nation, informed Praveen Chowta, secretary, and Ashok Kumar Kolambekodi, president, here on Monday.

The Trust was formed in 2002 in memory of Yadav Poojary, son of Sommappa Poojary and Rukmini couple, who fell prey to enemy bullets on March 10, a few months after completing his training and getting posted in the desert of Rajasthan.

Yadav completed his primary education in Ammunje and Pre University education at Government P U College Benjanapadavu. Having faced financial difficulties at home he went looking for a job. He undertook some odd jobs.

Following an advice from Sebastian Kuthino, retired Air Force Flying Officer, he applied for a job in the Indian Army and got selected for the service.

The friends of Yadav set up an organisation called 'VeeraYodha Yadav Friends' a day after his funeral. For three years some like-minded people took the organization forward by organising health camps, eye camps and village level Kabaddi tournaments.

In the fourth year, friends of Yadav Poojary formed Veera Yodha Yadav Friends Trust. This organization has been conducting religious, social, educational, sports and cultural activities. They have helped in building houses for the poor and blood camps for them as well. Every year SSLC and PU Students get scholarships and school children receive uniforms.

The organization is 10 years old now and with the intention of immortalising Veera Yadav's name a memorial building by the name “Amarashree” is being built at Ammunje Shri Vinayak Temple premises.

In the wake of Saudi Arabia's assurance that Masjid al-Haram of Makkah and Masjid an-Nabawi of Madinah will be opened for believers after some days, a message has gone viral on social media claiming that both the holy mosques will open on Ramadan 8 (May 1).

The message which was widely circulated on Facebook and WhatsApp, also contained certain condition such as people should fetch their own prayer mats and that they should not use the washrooms in the mosques. 

Clarification

Meanwhile, the authorities of the two holy mosques, issued a clarification that the claims made in the viral post are false and baseless.

"The message being circulated about the opening date for Haramiain (two holy mosques) for public is completely baseless and false. The suspension of prayers for general public is still in effect," they said in a social media post.

Bengaluru, Jul 31: BJP leader CP Yogeshwar has slammed Yediyurappa supporters and said the JDS leader HD Kumaraswamy is supporting BJP.

Speaking to the reporters, Yogeshwar said, "Congress president DK Shivakumar and Janata Dal (Secular) leader and former CM HD Kumaraswamy, both are Yediyurappa supporters."

"His words seem to support the BJP. All that Kumaraswamy had said, during our government's rule, are happening including the officers they mentioned are being transferred. He has come forward to support BJP from the back door," Yogeshwar.

While reacting to allegations made by CP Yogeshwar, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee president DK Shivakumar has said that earlier Yogeshwar requested for State Legislative Council (MLC) member ticket and now such people are blaming me without any evidence. This shows his dishonesty to his party and the kind of person he is."
