Mangaluru, Oct 30: The Social Democratic Party of India has condemned themedia trial' in connection with the murder case of RSS worker Ruredresh, who was hacked to death on October 16 in Bengaluru.

sdpi“Even though the case is still in the investigation phase, some media houses with vested interests, to increase their TRP, are jumping to conclusions,” stated a release issued by there SDPI.

The release said, with the focus on "Freedom from hunger & freedom from fear", SDPI is tirelessly working for many years to uplift the backward classes, the Dalits, minorities and the exploited classes.

“SDPI being a political party which has total trust in the democratic system strongly condemns the killing of any human being. With total compliance to the secular nature of our constitution and in accordance to the election commission rules, SDPI has been gradually consolidating its vote bank which consists of victimized masses who earlier never had an option. This perhaps is not going down well with some communal minded parties who thrive on polarization in the society.”

“Before the RSS and BJP clamor for the blood of parties opposing them, they should revisit their own history. From the assassination of Mahathma Gandhi which happens to be the first terrorist attack on the soil of independent India to the murder of Praveen Pujari in Kundapura and also being accused in the many murder cases, they lack credibility to make such claims.”

“To mention a few such media manipulations - in Dakshina Kannada district, in the case of the serial killing of 20 Hindu girls, the RSS accused Muslim organizations. Finally, a teacher named Mohan Kumar was arrested in the serial killing. In the case of the murder of Harish Pujari in Bantwal, they tried to tarnish the image of SDPI. Finally, the investigation revealed bajrangdal's MithunKalladka&Bhuvith Shettywere arrested along with 3 other people.”

“In the Tipu Jayanthi celebrations in Madikeri last year, in the case of the death of VHP worker Kuttappa, a murder case was registered against our local leaders. The police investigation revealed that Kuttappa, running away from the commotion, slipped and fell to his death. This lead to the murder case against the president of SDPI city council being dropped and the case closed. On the same day fascist goons who were trying to cash in on the chaos shot an innocent Muslim youth by name Shahul Hameed leading to the arrest of RSS leaders Kavan, Bheeshma and Ramesh.”

“SDPI denies any connection between the case of Rudresh's murder. SDPI continues to defend that its name is being dragged into the case as a part of a larger political conspiracy to tarnish the image of a political party which is quickly popularizing as a pro-people's party in the political front,” the release said.

Bengaluru, Jan 8: The second instalment of flood relief funds from the Centre, announced on Monday, has left BS Yediyurappa less than cheerful, with the chief minister insisting that it is barely adequate. The CM on Tuesday said he will urge the Union government to release more.

On Monday, the Centre announced it will release Rs 669.8 crore in addition to the Rs 1,200 crore it had released earlier towards flood relief and rehabilitation. The total sum is a small fraction of the loss, which the government pegged at a staggering Rs 38,000 crore.

“The Centre has released assistance in two instalments so far, but it is inadequate given the magnitude of the damage. I will request for more funds and I am confident the Centre will oblige,” Yediyurappa told reporters.

When Prime Minister Narendra Modi had visited the state last week, Yediyurappa had urged him — even openly at a function — to release funds. This followed several pleas over the past four months, which barely drew a response from the Centre. Now, the CM himself suggests it’s barely a drop in the ocean.

The opposition has been criticizing both Yediyurappa and the Centre for their handling of the situation and on Tuesday, leader of the opposition Siddaramaiah of the Congress criticised the CM for “misguiding people” on the sum released by the Centre.

Siddaramaiah tweeted, “Reports from State govt officials say only Rs 669 cr of addl funds are released in 2nd instalment as opposed to the claim of Rs 1,870 cr by Karnataka BJP leaders. At a time when manufacturing industries are closing, BJP’s fake news factory is running at full potential ".

In another tweet, he said, “Moved by the plea of chief minister, Yediyurappa, Prime Minister Narendra Modi released an additional Rs 669.8 crore, taking the total amount to Rs 1,869.8 crore. BJP leaders, who are devotees of the god of lies, attempts to depict the total relief amount as 1200+1869.85 = Rs 3,069 cr is ridiculous.”

A high-level committee chaired by Union home minister Amit Shah had sanctioned the National Disaster Response Fund (NDRF) funds on Monday. While the Press Information Bureau claimed Rs 1,869 crore was approved on Monday, state government officials clarified that the figure included the Rs 1,200 crore released in October.

Meanwhile, sources say the two instalments is all the assistance the state can expect from the Centre towards flood relief. Sources say the Rs 1,870 crore is roughly 60% of the funding — Rs 3,000 cr— which was supposed to be allocated for Karnataka, based on an inter-ministerial team’s assessment of losses in the state.

“Compared to other states for the same period, Karnataka has received the highest amount in flood relief. We cannot expect more,” said a revenue department official, who said the government will not approach the Centre for a special package.

However, revenue minister R Ashoka said the state will pitch for the entire Rs 3,000 crore. “The state government will pursue the matter with the Centre until it releases the entire Rs 3,000 crore. The state government will cover the remainder of the Rs 38,000 crore loss. We will not go back on our word,” Ashoka said. Incidentally, the state has spent about Rs 6,000 crore on relief and rehabilitation so far.

Bengaluru, June 1: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today praised the Karnataka government for its handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Addressing the silver jubilee celebrations of the Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS) via a digital platform, he spoke about the Karnataka government's efforts.

He appreciated the work of front-line warriors who are fighting every day in the war against COVID-19 and stressed the need to respect them.

"Doctors and other medical workers are soldiers without wearing the uniform of soldiers. Any kind of attack or violence against them is not acceptable," said Modi.

"There are incidents of violence against the front-line warriors. Any kind of abuse, violence or rude behaviour is not acceptable. The world is looking at doctors and medical staff with gratitude," he said.

"This is the biggest crisis since the two World Wars," the prime minister said. "Pre- and post-COVID-19, the world will be different. The discussions now at a global level are humanity-centric."

Stressing the importance of medical infrastructure, the prime minister spoke about the decision taken by the Union Government to set up a medical college in every district.

"A nation like ours has to have the medical infrastructure and medical education. Now, every district is going to have a medical college," he said.

However, the PM remained silent on salaries of front-line warriors. The Karnataka government has so far not released the salaries of doctors, nurses and lab technicians hired under National Health Mission.
