Mangaluru, Nov 20: Bajrang Dal leader Sharan Pumpwell has urged the police not to treat the activists of saffron groups and PFI equally as according to him Vishva Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal are patriotic and nationalist organisations.

Speaking at a preparatory convention for upcoming Udupi Dharma Samsad at the Ramakrishna College ground in Mangaluru on Sunday evening, he said: “We have been raising voice against injustice. However, the police are considering Bajrang Dal and PFI as same. They are levelling murder charges against us and are booking our activists under Goonda Act to suppress us."

"The blood of Shivaji is flowing in our body and not that of Tipu. Those who have the blood of Tipu in them are engaged in pelting stones at the police commissioner's office," he said.

VHP Prantha working president M B Puranik called upon the Bajrang Dal activists to make Dharma Samsad at Udupi a grand success.

Cops thwart bike rally

Prior to this, the city police prevented the members of Bajrang Dal from carrying out a motorbike rally till the convention venue. Enraged over the incident, the Bajrang Dal activists held a meeting sitting on the two-wheelers.

The police also asked the organisers to complete the convention by 5 p.m. The activists were ready to take out the rally from Kadri Kambala Road, Ambedkar Circle and PVS Circle in the city, but were prevented by the police.

Later, the activists reached the venue separately as per the conditions laid down by the police.

The activists listened to the main speech by sitting on the motorbikes for one and a half hours. Even after the convention, they were not allowed to carry out a procession. The police sent them out of the venue, in a group of 10 persons each after the programme.

WhatsApp group video calls to now support up to 8 participants

News Network

April 29,2020

New Delhi, Apr 29: WhatsApp on Tuesday said it will now allow up to eight people to connect on a group video call as an increasing number of people turn to digital platforms to connect with friends and family amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Facebook-owned company said over the last month, people on average are spending over 15 billion minutes talking each day on WhatsApp calls, well above a typical day before the pandemic.

"...we see that people all over the world are turning to voice and video calling on WhatsApp more than ever before. Group calling has been particularly useful and our users have asked to connect with more people at once," WhatsApp said in a blogpost.

Starting Tuesday, the company is doubling the number of participants one can have on a WhatsApp video or voice call from 4 to 8 people at a time, it added.

WhatsApp emphasised that like written messages, all calls on its platform are protected with end-to-end encryption.

"We have built group calling in a way that makes it available for as many users as possible, including people on lower-end devices and slow network conditions," it added.

WhatsApp said that to access the new, higher participant limit on WhatsApp calls, all participants in a call need to update to the latest version of WhatsApp available on iPhone or Android.

Video calling tools like Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Zoom and others have also seen a significant jump in userbase and traffic as people connect while maintaining social distancing amid the coronavirus outbreak.

Last week, Facebook had introduced Messenger Rooms that will soon hold up to 50 people with no time limit.

It had added that the company will also add ways to create rooms from Instagram Direct, WhatsApp and Portal.

Noting that between WhatsApp and Messenger, more than 700 million accounts participate in calls every day, Facebook had said, adding that video calling on Messenger and WhatsApp more than doubled in many countries.

Also, views of Facebook Live and Instagram Live videos have also increased significantly in March, it said.
