Mangalore, August 3: With the aim of building brotherly relations among workers, the Dakshina Kananda district unit of Akhila Bharata Karmika Sangha (ABKS) will be organising 'Rashtra-Raksha' on August 5 at 10 a.m. in 'Sai Kripa' building at Kottara Chowki, Mangalore.

Announcing this at a press conference here on Friday, General Secretary of the unit Sudatta Jain said that Raksha Bandhan should not be limited to one class or group of people, but rather brotherliness should be followed by the entire society.

He said that certain incidents have disrupted the harmony in Mangalore and have put a black mark on it.

“Today, as we all work towards national development, as we are all labourers, fellowship between each other is of utmost importance. Due to corrupt politicians and officials handling the administration of the country, the fellowship between labourer classes is being turned into dust in the name of religion and casteism,” he said.

Speaking about the lack of facilities provided by the ESI Corporation, he said that the Sangha had submitted a memorandum to the Chief Minister of Karnataka citing their demands.

Among their demands was provision of supplies necessary for all types of treatments at the ESI Hospital in Kadri, which was meant for labourers. Other demands included appointment of doctors and staff for all vacant posts at the hospital and treatment of ESI card holders and their families at ESI hospital itself. The Sangha also demanded that a hospital-concerned committee should be formed by the Corporation, and discussions should be held every month.

Also included in their list of demands was provision of ambulances and buses by the Corporation displaying the name of ESI hospital of the concerned area, and setting up of a sub-regional office for ESI card holders in Mangalore as soon as possible to make it easier for labourers belonging to Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts.

The Sangha also demanded that various industries and institutions make facilities for workers to avail the ESI card, and also that labourers be paid their due at the right time, instead of being delayed.

Other office-bearers of ABKS Donald Karkala, Saju, Asha Anand Devadiga and Padmanabha Shetty Niddodi were present at the press meet.

Shivamogga, Jan 11: Members of Karnataka Congress women's wing staged a protest in Shivamogga on Friday against the rise in onion prices and domestic LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) cylinders.

As a mark of protest, the demonstrators wore garlands made of onions, drew rangoli on the road and cooked food with firewood. The protestors also carried posters comparing the price of cylinders in Congress and BJP-led government in the Centre.

The price of non-subsidised LPG was hiked by Rs 19 per cylinder from January 1, 2020.

Thiruvananthapuram, Jan 1: Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Wednesday said that the resolution passed by the Kerala Assembly is against the "unconstitutional Act passed by the Centre".

"The resolution passed by Kerala Assembly is against the unconstitutional Act passed by the Centre. It has been noticed by the whole country," Vijayan said.

The Kerala Assembly had on Tuesday passed a resolution seeking withdrawal of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019.

Before the resolution was passed against the Act, Vijayan in a special Assembly session targeted RSS and said that citizenship law is part of an agenda.

"The CAA is part of an agenda. Muslims are being considered as internal enemies by RSS, who is controlling the ruling dispensation at the Centre," he alleged.

The new law grants citizenship to Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Parsis, Buddhists and Christians fleeing religious persecution in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh who came to India on or before December 31, 2014.

Meanwhile, on Wednesday while talking about women safety, the Chief Minister said, "Those women, who are traveling face many problems, particularly regarding accommodation. To address this, government will start accommodation facilities in all towns. This project will be implemented with the help of local bodies."

Reacting to the development in the Kerala Assembly, BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said that Assembly has insulted the Constitution and parliament by passing a resolution seeking withdrawal of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).

"The Constitution has delineated clearly the roles of parliament and state legislatures. When people who have taken an oath of the constitution, destroy it, it is a most irresponsible act. Both the houses of parliament have passed CAA and if a state assembly tries to hijack the Act it is an insult not only of the constitution but the parliament as well," Naqvi told news agency.

Dear scape goat Naqvi, dont try to fool us.   I know you are a liar as you are int he company of liars.  MPs are taking oath to respect and safeguard indian constitution and not to disrespect it and go agaisnt the teachings of constitution.  What Central Govt has done is 100 perent agaisnt the constitution and every citizen has the right to oppose this.   You are definately go with the Govt as you are paid for it.   But dont force other too to follow you.  What Kerala Govt has done is according to will of people and Central Govtr should respect it.

Bengaluru, Jul 13: Former Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Monday said that the state government should provide vitamin C drug, Ayush Ministry-certified immunity boosters and sanitisers to every household in the wake of the coronavirus spread.

"Karnataka government should provide vitamin C drug, Ayush Ministry-certified immunity boosters and sanitisers to every household to fight against COVID-19," Kumaraswamy told media.

The JDS leader further stated that "appropriate medication should be provided to those who are "symptomatic" by the Karnataka government and added that "by taking such measures the government can halt the spread of the virus."

If the government is not able to provide the health kit to everyone then at least they should give it to the BPL families, he added.

Kumaraswamy also stressed upon organising awareness campaigns about the coronavirus and use of supplements among the masses to prevent themselves from contracting the infection.

According to the Union Health Ministry, Karnataka has recorded 38,843 cases of COVID-19 to date.
