With polls around, Siddaramaiah has now realised he is a Hindu: Shettar

Hubballi, Jul 17: Senior BJP leader Jagadish Shettar on Sunday said that with Assembly elections round the corner, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has now realised that he is a Hindu.Shettar

Reacting to a statement made by the chief minister at a rally in Mysuru on Saturday that he too is a Hindu, Shettar said that for first time Siddaramaiah has realised that he is a Hindu. All these days, he claimed to be a member of Ahinda (Kannada acronym for minorities, backward classes and Dalits). As he could not do much for the backward communities during his tenure, he is now claiming to be a Hindu. The assertion is just the vote bank politics of Congress leaders, whereas BJP leaders say it with pride that they are Hindus, he said.

When asked why BJP leaders are ‘instigating’ communal violence in Dakshina Kannada by making provocative statements, Shettar, who is the Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Assembly, said BJP leaders are not instigating people but only outpouring their emotions.

“What can one do when the Congress government is hell bent on arresting Hindu workers for political reasons,” he asked and added that the government wants to instil fear in RSS/BJP workers by slapping false cases against them or allowing miscreants to murder Hindu workers.

Answering a question on the special treatment in jails for some convicts, Shettar said that there is a need for judicial enquiry into the issue to bring out the truth. “Every day reports on the situation in jails are presenting a sorry picture of our police system. Finding drugs, alcohol and other banned substances in jails, along with special treatment to convicts, shows that something is not right in prisons. This situation is not just limited to Bengaluru Central Prison at Parappana Agrahara but is prevalent in all the jails across the state,” he said.

The former chief minister said only a judicial enquiry could throw light on the issue and, strict action must be taken against all those involved in irregularities.

“Issuing of notice to Deputy Inspector General of Police (Prisons) D Roopa shows the Congress’ mindset of harassing honest officials and protecting criminals,” he said.

As covid-19 cases began to increase in Dakshina Kannada, the Kasargod district administration had unilaterally newly introduced of daily pass system on July 6 for entry and exit from Talapady border. This had inconvenienced hundreds of employees, who visited Mangaluru daily to eke a living. 

The decision to resume the pass system was taken in a video conference of Kerala Revenue Minister Chandrasekharan with officials and elected representatives on August 3.

The minister said the Kasaragod district administration will resume issuing of passes for daily commuters between Kasaragod and Mangaluru. But they should undergo rapid antigen test for every week to renew their passes.

"Similarly, one-time interstate passes will be issued for those who want to take part in marriages, funeral and other functions in both states. Even they should undergo antigen test after returning from the functions,” the minister added.

As per the previous order, daily commuters, especially employees, had to stay in Mangaluru for 28 days before returning to Kasargod. Later, Kerala government relaxed rules on July 23 allowing only bank employees from Kasaragod to travel daily in their private vehicles to their workplace in Dakshina Kannada.

Mangaluru, Jan 11: A large number of people from the Women India Movement on Saturday staged a protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the National Register of Citizens (NRC) here and raised slogans denouncing the newly enacted law.

Protestors were seen carrying placards that read, 'Stop diving India, Boycott CAA, NRC, NPR', 'We are humans, not criminals', 'Save India from fascism'.

"Today's youths are tomorrow's future. The present leaders are scared by the youths and are trying to wipe us out. They are scared of the students because they are raising their voices," a protestor told media.

"It started with the triple talaq, then the removal of Article 370 and Babri Masjid verdict. We Muslims kept quiet but now it is a question to our Constitution. We are not here as Muslims but as an Indian Citizen protesting against the cruelty of the BJP government," she added.

The protestor said the Central government is trying to make India a Hindu Rashtra by wiping out all other communities.

"This fascist government is trying to poison the minds of Hindus against the Muslims. After Muslims, there will be the Christian community and then other communities. The main motive of the government is to only keep Brahmins in India," added the protestor.

The newly-enacted law grants citizenship to Hindu, Sikh, Jain, Parsi, Buddhist, and Christian refugees from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh, who came to India on or before December 31, 2014.
