Union Minister Anant Kumar Hegde has directly held chief minister Siddaramaiah-led Congress government of Karnataka responsible for the violence in Uttara Kannada district. 

Mr Hegde has also urged the union government to take over the investigation into the deaths Hindutva activists in Karnataka. According to him Paresh Mesta, whose dead body was found in Honnavar under mysterious circumstances last week was also a Hindutva worker. 

Some Hindutva groups had imposed bandh in Kumta on Monday and in Sirsi on Tuesday demanding the arrest of the “culprits” behind the death of Mesta. According to them, Mesta was tortured and murdered by Muslim goons and then dumped into a lake.

Even though the post-mortem report has proved that most of the claims of BJP and other Hindutva groups were false, the saffron groups have continued protest in the Uttara Kannada districts.

However, Mr Hegde, who represents Uttara Kannada in Lok Sabha, distanced himself from the violence in Kumta and other towns in the district. He also denied that the protests were political. He said he or other BJP leaders had nothing to do with the violent protest rallies in Kumta or Sirsi.

The people of Uttara Kannada are peace loving, wise and educated. They will not join violent protest just because someone gives a call. They will judge each situation and act wisely. They will not be swayed by politics. If they are protesting, it is because they are hurt by the communal politics of Congress leaders, he said.

“Neither the BJP nor any other Hindu organisations have given a call for bandh or protest in those towns. Mr Siddharamaiah is accusing the BJP of orchestrating violent protests. He should hold a mirror to his own face, Mr. Hegde said.

Chamaranagara, Mar 29: As many as 595 Tamil Nadu-based fishermen, who were working in Mangaluru, crossed the Karnataka border and reached their state via Chamarajanagar on Saturday.

Police said following the lockdown, the fishermen had left Mangaluru in more than 20 vehicles. The fishermen crossed the Karnataka border through Punajur check-post. However, the vehicles returned after dropping them near Hasanur check-post in Tamil Nadu.

As the fishermen had no proper documents, they were stopped by Tamil Nadu Police. However, the police allowed them after screening. The Tamil Nadu government arranged vehicles to ferry them, said a police officer.

Bengaluru, July 28: Former prime minister and JD(S) chief H D Deve Gowda today threatened to launch a state-wide agitation in against the amendments made to the Karnataka Land Reforms Act.

Gowda’s opposition to the new law comes even as Congress leader Siddaramaiah is also doggedly pursuing it.

Demanding that the state government immediately rollback the ordinance empowering these amendments, the octogenarian leader said he personally would take to streets if the government failed to budge.

The B S Yediyurappa government has liberalised the land reforms law by removing restrictions on non-agriculturists from purchasing and owning farm lands.

The government has also amended the APMC Act and has tweaked labour laws, which are all “against the interest of the state and must be rolled back,” Gowda said.

Speaking to reporters here, Gowda stated that he had already written thrice to Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa in this regard. "The ordinances have to be taken back. The amendments to Karnataka Land Reforms Act, by repealing sections 79-A, B and C, is an anti-farmer move. The APMC Act amendment, too, is against the interest of the state. The government has failed to speak about the impact of these amendments," said Gowda, who is now a Rajya Sabha member.

Elaborating on the amendment to the Land Reform Act, the JD(S) patriarch opined that by throwing open agricultural land ownership to anybody at all, the government was only helping real estate developers while pushing farmers into a “vulnerable” situation.

Amidst all this, there are now reports of funds misappropriation in Covid-19 relief measures and in procurement of medical equipment, he said, adding that it seemed like only the corrupt became stronger over time.

Further, Gowda lambasted both national parties for creating political unrest, referring to the ongoing political crisis in Rajasthan and the recent developments in Madhya Pradesh. However, he added that he would not wish to dwell on it much, while emphasising that his focus was primarily on strengthening his own party at this point in time.
