Mangalore, November 20: Being an important global player and ally of Palestine, India should exert pressure on Israeli regime through United Nations to immediately end its blatant aggression towards besieged Gaza, said P C Hamza, General Secretary of Welfare Party of India.

Addressing a public meeting of the one-and-a-half-year-old party at Town Hall in the city on Monday evening, expressed his party's solidarity and sympathy with the helpless Palestinians against the Israeli aggression.

Expressed grief and sorrow on the martyrdom of many innocent Palestinians in the attacks, Mr Hamza said that being a founding member of the Non-Aligned Movement, India cannot remain a mute-spectator to the current crisis in Hamas-ruled Gaza strip.

Criticising the government and police for selectively targeting educated youth of a particular community in terror related cases, he demanded the government to publicly apologise and compensate those innocent Muslim youths who were acquitted after spending several years in prisons.

Talking about the relevance of WPI in the current political scenario, he said that it was inevitable to form a political party based on moral values at a time when both ruling and opposition parties of the country and its states have miserably failed to accomplish their responsibilities.

B T Lalitha Naik, the Vice President of WPI, said that her party stands for affirmative actions and special measures for all weaker sections and communities till they get complete social emancipation and dignified space in society.

“We will fight till suppressed and marginalised sections get justice. Apart from food, shelter and home, all people of this country should get free education and health care facilities. This is one of the goals of our party”, he said.

Prof T T Jacob, Kasargod district President of WPI, said that his party is the only party in India which embodies country's spirit of unity in diversity. “WPI is striving to realise a welfare state based on moral values and governed by the principles of Justice, Freedom, Equality and Fraternity”, he said.

Earlier, a vehicle rally was taken out from Pumpwell to Hamilton circle, where the news office of the district committee of the party was inaugurated by Ms Lalitha Nayak.

Bengaluru, Aug 9: Swollen rivers and flood-like situation continue to threaten lives and property in several parts of Karnataka that have been ravaged by torrential rains over the last few days.

Though there has been a respite from the downpour in some parts, rivers continue to flow above the danger mark, inundating low lying areas in several parts of Malnad, coastal and interior Karnataka.

There are also reports of continued landslides in hilly areas of Kodagu and Chikkamagaluru.

In Dakshina Kannada, heavy rains have submerged several areas in Bantwala and Belthangady, among others, with the Netravati river overflowing and also water being released from nearby dams.

Officials said incessant rains in Cauvery river catchment areas have led to increased inflow in the Krishna Raja Sagara dam in Mandya district. Water is being released from it and people living in low lying areas have been warned, they said.

There is also a flood-like situation in Najanagudu and nearby areas of Mysuru as the swollen Kapila river has inundated roads connecting Ooty in neighbouring Tamil Nadu, with water being released from Kabini dam.

There has been some respite from heavy rains in certain parts of Kodagu, which has been ravaged by floods and landslides. However, several areas of the district continue to be in deluge with the Cauvery and Lakshmana Tirtha rivers overflowing due to rains in the hilly areas.

There are also reports of landslides in some parts of the district.

Meanwhile, continuing rains are hampering the search operation by NDRF and authorities to locate five people, including the priest at Talacauvery, the origin of the river Cauvery, who had gone missing due to massive landslides at Bramhagiri hills on Wednesday night.

There are also reports of landslides at a few places in Charmadi ghat region of Chikkamagaluru and the road connecting to Dakshina Kannada has been closed temporarily.

Though Belagavi district has had some respite from the heavy rains, flood like situation continues to persist as the Krishna river and its tributaries are swollen due to continued inflows because of rains in neighbouring Maharashtra.

Inflow has also increased to the Tungabhadra dam of Ballari district due to rains in the catchment areas of Shivamogga and Chikkamagaluru.

Authorities have alerted people living in low lying areas about opening dam gates to release water anytime with rising inflow.

There is a similar flood like situation in parts of Yadgir, Raichur and Bagalkote districts with water being released from various dams.

The state government has released ₹ 50 crore for emergency relief and has announced ₹ 10,000 as immediate relief each to affected families.

An amount of ₹ 5 lakh has been announced for completely damaged houses, while in the case of partially damaged ones, relief will be distributed considering the extent of damage.
