Priya Varrier’s wink is an answer to saffronists’ protest against Valentine’s Day: Jignesh

Firebrand Dalit leader turned MLA Jignesh Mevani has used winking star Priya Prakash Varrier’s viral video clip to counter Sangh Parivar’s opposing to the celebration of Valentine’s Day in India.

Extending his wishes on Valentine's Day with the viral video of Malayalam actress, Mevani tweeted: “Viral hit of ‘Manikya Malaraya Poovi’ is the answer to RSS's Valentine’s Day protest and again Indians have proved that they like to love more than hating someone.”

Sangh Parivar and other saffron outfits have been opposing celebration of Valentine's Day for years now.

Organisations like the Hindu Mahasabha, the Sri Ram Sena, the Bharat Sena, the Shakti Sena and the Bajrang Dal have been indulging in immoral policing against young couples and students in different parts of India, who wish to celebrate the Valentine's Day expressing their love their partners, year after year.

They have unleashed violence in the name of such protests against Valentine's Day celebration, vandalising public property and thrashing whoever they assume are 'couples'.

These groups may not be formally aligned with the RSS but RSS leaders have, too, spoken against celebration of Valentine's Day. RSS Leader Indresh Kumar, in June 2017, even said that "the reason behind rape, illegitimate children and all other atrocities against women is the the "western" tradition of Valentine's Day". However, the RSS has never, by itself, protested against celebrating Valentine's Day.

‘Should send 'Chaddi Sena' on border for one month’

Jignesh Mevani also took a dig at RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat for saying that the Sangh will prepare a force to fight for the country within three days for which Army would take months.

"Should send Mohan Bhagwat with 'Chaddi Sena' on the border for 1 month... They should know what work Sena does and what problems they deal with," Mevani Tweeted reacting to Bhagwat's comment.

Bhagwat had made the remarks while addressing the RSS organisation in Muzaffarpur's districts school. "Sangh will prepare military personnel within three days which the Army would do in 6-7 months. This is our capability," he had claimed.

Bengaluru, Aug 7: Amid the rising number of COVID-19 cases in Karnataka, the state's health department issued fresh guidelines for the disposal of bodies of COVID patients.

"Although an increased risk of COVID infection from a dead body to health workers or family members who follow standard precautions while handling the body is unlikely, the lack of scientific data requires the utmost care to avoid the inadvertent spread of COVID-19 during these times," the statement from the health department's press release read, emphasising on the dignity of the dead and the religious and cultural tradition.

The 23-page press release elaborated on guidelines regarding testing, handling of dead bodies and other specificities in relation to the management of COVID-19 bodies.

"Testing should not be insisted in every case of death, but only when they have a recorded history of influenza-like symptoms. The body should be handed over to the family members/ relatives in a dignified manner immediately after swab collection and hospitals should provide handouts with a list of dos and don'ts in English and Kannada laying down relevant information," the statement said.

It added, "At the mortuary, health care workers, mortuary staff and the family of the deceased body shall not come in direct contact with the dead body and must wear full personal protective equipment (PPE). If the family or relative are for any reason unable to cremate or bury the body, the local health authority shall arrange for the dignified last rites as per the religious traditions of the family."

Regarding autopsies (post mortem) on COVID-19 bodies, the state department said that they should be avoided, except in necessary circumstances.

The statement also gave detailed guidelines regarding the appropriate recording of COVID-19 deaths in line with the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) guidelines.

Additionally, the health department made a statement about the admission procedure for COVID positive patients referred by other district administrations saying, "It is now mandatory for all the referrals from the BBMP admission and discharge of COVID positive patients to be done through the online COVID Hospital Bed Management System (CHBMS)."

The state's count of coronavirus cases was 1,51,449 in the past 24 hours.

So far, a total of 2,804 people have died due to COVID-19 in the state, while the average recovery rate in Karnataka is 49.3 per cent.

Bengaluru, Jul 19: A viral video claiming to show crowded condition of a hospital treating COVID-19 patients in the city was found to be false with police on Sunday arresting a person for allegedly circulating it on social media.

Police said such videos have the potential to create panic and asked people to refrain from spreading them.

The arrest was made within hours of the police announcing registration of a case in connection with the video that showed a crowd of people wearing masks at an "outpatient ward" of a hospital, falsely identified as Victoria Hospital, a major dedicated COVID facility here.

The video went viral on social media.

"City Crime Branch swiftly identified and arrested this person who has been circulating false videos of panic in Victoria Hospital, Bangalore. Kudos to all doctors and medical professionals who are doing their best. False news busted," Bengaluru Police Commissioner Bhaskar Rao tweeted.

Police said such videos have the potential to create panic in society and asked people to refrain from it.

"Covid False video about conditions of hospitals in Bangalore circulated on social media. Case registered in Cybercrime PS. While government, society at large fighting the pandemic, some are creating/forwarding messages/videos which has potential to create panic in society. Refrain from it," Joint Commissioner of Police, Crime, Sandeep Patil tweeted.

The video showed scores of people wearing masks gathered in a small space allegedly at an Out-Patient Department in a hospital, and a person filming it, claiming to be a doctor expressing concern that it was a threat to all medical staff, including the patients.

Official sources said the video was reportedly from a hospital in one of the northern states and not from Victoria Hospital.
