Protest against interlocutors' report on Jammu & Kashmir

July 9, 2012
Mangalore, July 9:As part of the nationwide campaign 'Save Jammu and Kashmir', the members of Sangh Parivar in the city staged a demonstration in front of the office of Deputy Commissioner here on Monday.

The agitators, after categorically rejecting the interlocutors' report on Jammu and Kashmir calling it prejudiced, warned against any attempt to restore Kashmir's pre-1953 status.

Raising slogans against the report, the agitators said: “it is highly objectionable and will damage the unity, integrity and sovereignty of the nation”.

Mangalore MP Nalink Kumar Kateel addressing the protesters said that the saffron party would not hesitate to launch a movement if the UPA government at the Centre accepts the report of its interlocutors pertaining to special status for Jammu and Kashmir under Article 370.

"We will not sit as silent spectators and once again the nation will see the same movement once launched by (late) Shyama Prasad Mukherjee (the founder of the Bharatiya Jana Sangh)," he said.

Mukherjee had launched a movement against the entry permit system that prevailed in J&K earlier under which citizens from other parts of the country had to obtain a permit to gain entry, he said.

Mukherjee had also raised his voice against grant of special status to Jammu and Kashmir under article 370, he recalled.

"It was due to the wrong ideology of (India's first Prime Minister late Jawaharlal) Nehru that Article 370 was incorporated in JK," he said.

Carving out of a special status for Jammu and Kashmir was a "historical blunder", Mr Kateel said. "The provision was intended to create a separate psyche that J&K are not as much part of India as other states are.

"The history will have to sit in judgment that Nehruvian vision on Kashmir proved costly for India," he said.

Bajrang Dal leader Sharan Pumpwell speaking on the occasion accused the Congress led Union government of helping the Pakistan.

Sudhakar Joshi, Advocate Suvritha Kumar, Jagadeesh Shenava, Gopal Kutthar, Dr Vaman Shenoy and Monappa Bhandary were present among others.

Mandya, July 30: BJP state president Nalin Kumar Kateel on Wednesday said Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa has done a commendable job in tackling the Covid-19 situation and floods and that the question of changing the leadership does not arise.

Karnataka on Wednesday reported 5,503 new cases of Covid-19 and 92 related fatalities, taking the total number of infections to 1,12,504 and the death toll to 2,147.

Speaking to reporters here, Kateel said, "Deputy Chief Minister Laxman Savadi has gone to Delhi to discuss the projects sanctioned to state with the central minister. There is no need to read too much into it."

Replying to a query on graft charges against the BSY government by the Congress, Kateel said, "Congress national president, state unit president are out on bail in graft cases . Why did a Congress leader who calls himself a bande (rock) has approached court seeking stay on CBI probe? Before making any allegations against the government, they should think about 'irregularities' in Indira Canteen and housing schemes," he charged.

Instead of instilling confidence and hope among the people in these testing times, the Congress is unnecessarily creating fear with petty politics, he told reporters in Shravanabelagola, Hassan district.

"The Yediyurappa-led BJP government is working day and night to tackle the Covid-19. Similarly, several non-governmental organisations have joined hands with the government in the fight against the virus. But, the Congress is only creating confusion by issuing baseless statements," Kateel said.

Bengaluru, Apr 11: The coronavirus-driven lockdown will continue for another 15 days, but relaxations will be allowed in a graded manner, Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa said after a four-hour-long video conference with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday.

“Agriculture and industrial sectors will be given relaxation. Government offices will be allowed to work with partial strength. But the PM said detailed guidelines will be issued in two days,” Yediyurappa said, briefing reporters. 

“Importantly, the lockdown for the next two weeks will be different than how it was in the past three weeks. The Centre, keeping in mind economic activities, especially agriculture, industry and employment of labourers, the Centre will tell us what needs to be done,” the CM said.
 
According to Yediyurappa, PM Modi told all chief ministers that the next 2-3 weeks will be critical. “The next few weeks will decide whether or not we have succeeded. If the situation worsens, we have to face the crisis,” Yediyurappa said, quoting Modi. 

Apparently, Modi sought details on the COVID-19 situation from 12-13 states where the situation is grave. “He did not take a report from Karnataka,” Yediyurappa said. “This morning, seven new cases were reported in the state, taking our tally to 214. Nationally, we were in the third place; we’re now 11th,” he said, hailing the efforts of officials involved in fighting the pandemic. 

The CM said it was “inevitable” to continue the lockdown for another 15 days. “But for citizens to get essential supplies, there’s no bar on them going by walk alone. Also, we will see to it that agricultural activities are not affected anywhere,” Yediyurappa said.
