Bangalore, May 16: Prof. U R Ananthamurthy, a well known literateur and thinker has opined that the number of criminals may increase in the state if the Government of Karnataka imposed the anti-cow-slaughter law.

He was expressing his views at an interaction meeting of members of legislative assembly, writers, leaders of noted organisations and senior citizens of the stated organised at the Legislatives House in the city on Sunday, May 16 by Komu Sauharda Vedike to shed light on the demerits of anti-cow-slaughter bill.

Ananthamurthy said a Government should frame the laws with the intention of reducing the number of criminals, but unfortunately the State Government of Karnataka is coming up with new bills framed to increase the number of criminals.

Whoever thinks that cow-slaughtering for the purpose of food is a sin let them think so, but forcing others to think in a similar way is a crime, he said, adding that, “sin should not pave the way for crime”

“If the Government decides to ban on cow slaughter only for the reason that cow is a sacred animal for Hindus, it also should impose a similar ban on swine slaughtering as it is a filthy animal for the Muslims”, he said, reminding that this state and country belong not only to Hindus but also to Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains and seculars.

Alleging the State Government led By Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa of exploring the politics of vote bank through anti-cow-slaughter bill, he clarified that those who raise their voice against the this bill are not fighting for Muslims but for the integrity of the society.

Speaking on the occasion, Abdul Azeem, a Member of Legislative Assembly said that there are approximately six thousand abattoirs in the state, where more than six thousand animals are being slaughtered for the sake of food. And if an anti-cow slaughter law is imposed in the state, a huge amount of money turnover will be stopped which will directly affect farmers.

Taking to Twitter, Shivakumar wrote, "I appeal to Congress workers not to make defamatory statements against any political leader, on matters of health and other issues on social media platforms. It is not in our culture to wish bad for others. Congress is a party that exemplifies brotherhood and humanity."

Bengaluru, Jul 1: Eighteen private hospitals here have been slapped with a show-cause notice after a 52-year old patient with influenza-like illness symptoms died here on being allegedly denied admission by them citing "non- availability" of beds. 

Health Minister B Sriramulu on Wednesdy said refusal to provide treatment was not only inhuman but also illegal as he tagged a copy of the notice in a tweet. 

"Notice has been served to the hospitals taking cognisance of the (media) reports about the denial of admission to a patient in emergency. Denying medical assistance during emergency is not only inhuman but also illegal," he tweeted. According to a report, the son and nephew of the patient took him to the 18 hospitals on Saturday and Sunday but he was not admitted on the pretext of non-availability of beds or ventilators. 

The man died later. The Commissioner of Health and Family Welfare issued the show-cause notice to the top authorities of the hospitals under the Karnataka Private Medical Establishment (KPME) Act, 2007. 

"By denying admission to the patient, your hospitals have violated the provisions of the KPME Act. You are liable for legal action," the notice said, seeking replies within 24 hours as to why action should not be against the hospitals. 

This was a "clear violation" of providing medical assistance and admission necessitated under the agreed provision of the KPME registration. Private medical establishments cannot refuse or avoid treatment to patients suffering from COVID-19 or having symptoms, the common notice added. 

The incident comes in the backdop of repeated instructions by the government that hospitals cannot deny admission to the patients suffering from coronavirus or having symptoms.
