Divide evident within JD(S) as D M Aslam raises in revolt against Dist Prez

October 15, 2012
aslam4_copyMangalore, October 15: It was evident that all is not well within the district Janata Dal (Secular) as DM Aslam, President, Minority Wing, Dakshina Kannada JD(S), rose in revolt against M B Sadashiva, District President, in the presence of media persons at a press meet organized by the party in the city.

District JD(S) had convened a press meet in Mangalore on Monday where B Nagaraj Shetty, Former Minister, was officially handed over the post of State Vice President of JD(S).

Trouble began even before the press meet started, when Mr. Aslam started complaining about him being asked to go back from the venue.

Briefing the media about the future course of action of the party in the district, Mr. Sadashiva said that many more leaders and activists are willing to join JD(S) and the second round of induction will be held at a programme on October 29 at Town Hall. “With newer people joining the party, a need has arisen to reform all our committees and hence, as per the direction of the State unit, all the block committees of the party in the district would be dissolved. We have to take into account the old activists of the party, their activeness and sacrifices and also the talent, skill and expertise that the newer lot would bring. We need to strike a balance and form these committees. To supervise the process, a committee will work in this regard comprising of myself, senior leaders Amarnath Shetty and Nagaraj Shetty, besides MG Hegde, Sushil Noranha and Aboobakkar Natekal”, said Mr. Sadashiva.

At this point, Mr. Aslam got up and objected to the inclusion of Mr. Natekal in the committee. “Aboobakkar Natekal has been inactive in the party for the past two years. Drop his name and include my name in the committee”, he demanded.

Mr. Aslam also criticized Mr. Sadashiva in the open and said that he is the one who needs to be ousted from the party first. He also said that he is not willing to stay in the party if Mr. Sadashiva continues in the office. “I will not work with him. Let them oust me” he said.

Shakuntala, Haladi to join JD(S)?

Responding to a query as to whether Shakuntala Shetty of BJP is also among the members to be inducted into JD(S) at the party programme scheduled for October 29, Mr. Sadashiva said that it is not apt for him to reveal the names now.

“It could be her, it could be Haladi Srinivas Shetty. We do not want to reveal it now. There is also an attempt from our side to hold on to some of these people who are willing to join us until that date as political equations keep changing”, he said.

Bengaluru, Aug 2: Bengaluru based Centre for Advanced Research and Development (CARD), the research wing of organisation De scalene has come up with a device called "SHYCOCAN" (Scalene Hypercharge Corona Canon) which neutralizes the coronavirus.

Speaking to news agency Dr Rajah Vijay Kumar, Chairman, Organisation De Scalene said that the device will not kill any bacteria or fungus, however, neutralizes the coronavirus particles.

"The device was tested for its safety and efficacy and is soon going to be manufactured and marketed in the US under the Enforcement Discretion policy of USFDA and in Europe as the device is CE compliant and is CE marked," said Kumar.

He also added the device will cover a volume of 10,000 cubic feet.

The device Scalene Hypercharge Corona Canon (SHYCOCAN) is intended to be used in the residential, industrial and commercial environment and is designed for active containment by attenuation of Corona family of viruses. (Laboratories de Especialidades Immunological S.A. de C.V, Virucidal Activity concludes 99.9 per cent virus elimination), Kumar asserted.

"SHYCOCAN operates on regular 110/240V - 50/60 Hz wall socket and is a plug and play device, that delivers the necessary signals to a photon mediated electrons emitters (PMEE), that produces hypercharge high-velocity electrons by photon mediation that interacts with the negative seeking S-protein of Corona family of viruses thus reducing infectivity and prevent air and surface borne transmission of corona family of viruses," said Kumar.

The device does not use any chemicals, or any other consumables and does not produce harmful ozone gas or any other substances and is completely safe for use in any environment, he added.

"The attack mechanism of the Virus starts with the initial attachment of the virion to the host cell, it is initiated by interactions between the S-protein and its receptor on the "negative" cell membrane. The sites of receptor binding domains (RBD) within the S1 region of a coronavirus S-protein vary depending on the virus. 

The S-protein/receptor interaction is the primary determinant for a coronavirus to infect a host species and governs the tissue tropism of the virus. However, the end result is the fusion and release of the viral genome into the cytoplasm," said Kumar.

He continued saying that the counter mechanism by the device SHYCOCAN is that if negative seeking is the guidance mechanism of the S- Protein, attracted by the transmembrane potential of the host cells, then breaking this mechanism would block the Coronavirus infectivity and spread.

"The device has been in use for more than a year at the S-CARD campus, the headquarters of Scalene," said Kumar.
