Udupi, July 19: The members of Komu Sauharda Vedike staged a protest before Udupi taluk office condemning the move of Ramakunjeshwara Degree College in Ramakunj (Uppinangady) not to allow students wearing headscarf (hijab) to enter college, in Udupi on Wednesday.

Forwarding the memorandum to Governor through Tahsildar, Komu Sauharda Vedike President G Rajashekhar said that the instruction of dress code by the college is entirely against the freedom guaranteed in the Constitution for Indian citizens. Indian Constitution provides the provision for every individual to follow the religion and customs of his or her choice. In this backdrop the dress code introduced by Ramakunjeshwara Degree College is unconstitutional. It violates the citizens' rights. Muslims and Christians are always the victims under unethical rules supported by the state government.


The move of the Governing Council of the college was regressive. Hence, the Governor should intervene and stop the college from implementing its dress code, Mr. Rajashekhar said.

“We cannot expect justice from the state government,” he lamented.

Stating that Pejawar seer Sri Vishweshatheertha Swamiji is a person with sick mind, Rajashekar said all these atrocities against minorities may have short term success, however the impact will be long lasting. He urged Mangalore University Chancellor to order the college administration to take back its dress code and to allow Muslim students to attend class with headscarf.

Speaking on the occasion, Wafa Sultana from Girls Islamic Organisation Karkala said Islam does not prohibit the woman from empowering herself, however the hijab is provided to safeguard herself from any sort of molestation. “We are not against uniform, however, we should be allowed to wear hijabs while attending the classes. It is the duty of the teachers to avoid disparities and communal disharmonies within the campus of the college. Teachers should guide students to respect each others religions and customs, they should teach the values of coexistence,” she said.

Leaders of the vedike K. Phaniraj and Dinaker Bengre, DSS leader Jayan Malpe, president of the Vicharawadi Vedike Gopal B. Shetty, member of Jamaat-E-Islami Hind Idris Hoode and Mohammed Markada, leader of Welfare Party of India Anwar Ali Kaup, members of the women's wing of Jamaat-E-Islami Hind Humera Karkala, and Jamila Hoode, president of Girls Islamic Organization of India Mariam Asadi, and writer Hayavadana Moodusagri were present.

Mumbai, May 19: Even as banks in United Arab Emirates are trying to trace NMC founder BR Shetty, a prominent bank in India is seeking to recover loans worth Rs19.13 billion from him and his companies. 

A local court has also barred him and his wife from selling or transferring some properties while it hears the case.

In the court filing, the Bank of Baroda said Shetty had an obligation to handover the title deeds of the 16 properties and mortgage the assets with the bank.

The 16 properties in several Indian cities including Bengaluru were among guarantees put up by Shetty and his wife against the Rs19.13 billion ($253 million) loans, according to a May 16 court order seen by Reuters. The court in Bengalaru set the next hearing in the case for June 8.

NMC, the largest private healthcare provider in the UAE, was placed under administration in April after months of turmoil. It disclosed in March it had debts of $6.6 billion, well above earlier estimates of $2.1 billion.

Finablr, in which Shetty has a controlling stake, said in April it may have nearly $1 billion more in debt than previously reported.

Bengaluru, July 17: An infant with heart-related complications died after 10 private hospitals in the city allegedly refused to admit him over coronavirus fears.

In search of a hospital to treat his one-month-old child, the helpless father drove around for 200km in the city. The child breathes its last after suffering for 36 hours.

The infant’s health worsened around 11am on Sunday. “A doctor from a nearby clinic visited our house and said the baby had heart-related issues. As advised, we decided to shift the child to a private hospital,” the father said. The family lives in Basaveshwaranagar.

The parents went to several private hospitals, but in vain. “We visited hospitals in Bavaveshwaranagar, Chord Road, Sheshadripuram, Goraguntepalya and Yeshwanthpur. None of them agreed to treat our baby, and we returned home at night,” the father said. 

“On Monday morning, we started the journey again. This time, we went to a hospital near Jayadeva flyover. We were driving near Marathahalli when our child stopped breathing. We rushed to a nearby private hospital, where doctors declared him brought dead,” he said.
