Mangalore, December 15: The valedictory programme of the 15 day campaign 'Read the Creator's Message' of Universal Welfare Forum (UNIWEF) was held at Shanti Nilaya in Balmatta, Mangalore, on Friday.

 

Speaking on the occasion, Shikarupira Krishnamurthy, Professor in Sanskrit, St Aloysius College, Mangalore, said that in order to judge whether one is a God-fearing person, it is not important to note which religion he has taken birth in but rather look at the character and behaviour of the person. One must inculcate the habit of self-introspection everyday looking at one's own faults and make a pledge that he will be a better person with every new day, he said.

 

Fr. William Martis, Parish Priest, Udupi Church, in his address said that if one looks at the various religions, he is bound to find a host of similarities. The Abrahamic religions like Islam, Christianity and Judaism have obvious similarities with the same prophets and ancestors. The concept of Brahma, Vishnu, Maheshwara of Hinduism and the Christian concept of trinity are also similar. There is a common thread that binds all religions together, he opined. People must adopt the understanding attitude rather than judgemental attitude when it comes to religion, he said.

 

Rafeeyuddin Kudroli, President, UNIWEF, said in his address that the Vedas may well have been the word of God sent down by the Almighty to guide the people of India and in the same way the Quran was sent down as the final revelation of God. In spite of several years passing by, it continues to remain relevant and unchanged, he said. Mr.Kudroli also spoke about the scientific facts mentioned in the Quran about the planets and the solar system. People must make an attempt to know their respective scriptures and most unrest that takes place in the society today is because of lack of proper understanding of one's own religion, he said.

 

Dr. J N Bhat, Medical Superintendent, Omega Hospital, also spoke.

 

A question and answer session was also held after the guests delivered their speeches.

Bengaluru, Apr 25: KPCC president D K Shivakumar, has alleged that BJP leaders from the state have sold rice that was meant to be distributed to the poor in Tamil Nadu.

Speaking to newsmen here on Friday, he stated that Congress fully supports the government’s work in the prevention of the spread of COVID-19, but maybe unknown to the Chief Minister, corrupt dealings are which we want to bring to his attention.

He alleged that 1,879 quintals of rice brought from Haryana have been illegally sold to a businessman in Hosur, Tamil Nadu.

Mangaluru, Jun 12: A huge crowd gathered for the grand opening of the newly built 175-metre-long two-lane bridge across Phalguni River on National Highway 169 near Gurupura on the outskirts of the city today.

Even as the photos of the bridge inauguration ceremony went viral on social media, netizens took the elected representatives and the district administration to task for flouting safety norms at a time when the coronavirus cases are continuing to mount in coastal Karnataka.

The bridge was completed in a record time of 15 months. Dakshina Kannada MP and State BJP President Nalin Kumar Kateel and district in-charge Minister Kota Srinivas Poojari inaugurated the bridge in the presence of Mangaluru City North MLA Y. Bharath Shetty and others.

The bridge has come as a breather to thousands of travellers between Mangaluru-Moodbidri-Karkala on the busy NH. The age-old steel bridge had become dilapidated and was a cause for concern for road users. The highway is also under the process of getting widened to four lanes.

The bridge was constructed at an estimated cost of Rs 30 crore by contractor Sudhakar Shetty of Mugrodi Construction. Work started in February last and the contractor had time till February next.

While the two-lane carriageway is 16 metres wide, the bridge has 2.5-metre-wide pedestrian paths on both the sides. New approach roads of 500 metres each were also part of the project.

Chennai, July 27: Multi-lingual actress Vijayalakshmi, who attempted suicide yesterday, alleging harassment and bullying by followers of Naam Thamizhar party leader Seeman and Panankattu Padai’s Hari Nadar, is recuperating at a hospital in Chennai. 

Vijayalakshmi is known for films like Friends and Boss Engira Baskaran. She recently made headlines for speaking against Seeman and the torture she was allegedly facing from the actor-turned-politician and his party.

In the video which was uploaded on Sunday evening, Vijayalakshmi said, “This is my last video and I have been in tremendous stress in the last four months because of Seeman and his partymen. I tried my level best to survive all these days because of my mother and sister, but I have been humiliated in the media by Harinadar recently.”

She added, “I would like to tell fans who are watching the video just because I was born in Karnataka, Seeman has tortured me a lot. As a woman, I have put up with it to my highest capabilities. I won’t be able handle the pressure anymore. I am from the Pillai community, the same community LTTE leader Prabhakaran is part of. Prabhakaran is the only reason Seeman is who he is today, but now he has been harassing me on social media continuously. You slut shamed me to make me feel the pain and it is up to me to decide on what to do after facing such insults from you. I request my fans not to let Seeman get away from this case. He should never get anticipatory bail. My death should be a big eye-opener to everyone. I don’t want to be a slave to anybody.”
