Bengaluru, June 2: The Pejawar Mutt head Sunday urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to promulgate a strong law for cow protection that can be implemented across India within a year.

Swami Vishwesha Teertha, one of prominent religious seers of South India,, who shares a good rapport with Modi and was among the special invitees during his swearing in ceremony in New Delhi on May 30, emphasised that the government with full majority must pay special attention towards the protection of cows.

"Government has to pay special attention towards protecting the cows.. He has full majority.. He should make up his mind within a year to promulgate a strong law for cow protection that can be implemented across India," said Pejawar seer at a public event in the temple town of Udupi.

The 89-year-old seer with a huge following rued that the government took measures to protect lion and tiger and not the cows.

He sought to know whether cows were inferior to lions and tigers.

Condemning those who send cows to slaughterhouses and eat beef, Vishwesha Teertha Swami likened them to demons.

"Those who kill cows aren't human beings. They should be placed in the category of demon. Killing and eating cow is the most disgusting thing," the seer said.

He said cow protection should not be seen just from economic or religious point of view but also from the human point of view.

Two days ago, the seer had raised the issue of Ram Temple, saying the Modi government should ensure that it was built in Ayodhya.

Bengaluru, Jan 16: Former chief minister Siddaramaiah and other leaders are likely to make the final decision on the name of the next Congress president of Karnataka soon, said party leader Dinesh Gundu Rao on Thursday.

"He (Siddaramaiah) has met all the leaders and I think soon they will make a decision. It has already been delayed, it should not have been delayed so much. I am sure high command will take a decision on this," Rao told reporters here.

Both Siddaramaiah and Gundu Rao had resigned from their posts, Leader of Congress Legislature Party and KPCC president, after the party's drubbing in the bye-elections held for 15 Assembly seats last year.

Madikeri, Aug 7: Two days after massive landslides triggered by heavy downpour in Kodagu, five people including a priest are still missing. 

The landslide, which originating at Brahmagiri Hills in Talacauvery, swept away two houses on Wednesday night.

This missing people are: Talacauvery temple chief Narayana Achar (70), his wife Shantha (70), brother Ananda Theertha Swami (87) and two assistants — Ravi Kiran (26) and Srinivas (30). Achar’s neighbour had shifted out of Bhagamandala earlier, fearing a landslide. 

The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) had to stop rescue operations due to bad weather. The operations resumed today. 

“There are many minor landslides on the way to the spot,” said Kodagu Deputy Commissioner C Annies K Joy, adding that the flood situation at Bhagamandala was not permitting earthmovers to reach the spot. Heavy rain between Wednesday and Thursday triggered landslides. 

Bhagamandala Panchayat Development Officer Ashok said a notice was issued to the priest’s family to shift out of the house, but they chose to stay back. 

On Thursday morning, when the Talacauvery temple staff went to check on Narayana Achar, as he had not reached the temple for the daily puja, they found levelled land and debris where Achar’s house stood. Utensils, puja material and clothes were found nearly 2 km away at Cherangala. 

As rains continued over the last few days, many rivers are flowing above the danger levels, forcing people to move to safer places.

 Responding to the situation, which is turning grimmer by the day, Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa, who is currently undergoing treatment in a private hospital after testing positive for Covid-19, directed ministers to visit rain-hit areas and supervise relief efforts. He has also assured of providing required financial assistance for those affected.
