Rahul Gandhi’s name is in Church; when did he become Brahmin: Shobha Karandlaje

Chikkamagaluru, Nov 29: Udupi-Chikkamagaluru MP Shobha Karandlaje has accused AICC president Rahul Gandhi of having tried to woo people when he stated in Kashmir that he was a Dattatreya Brahmin.

“Rahul Gandhi made such a statement in spite of the fact that his name is registered in a church,” said the BJP state general secretary.

Karandlaje was addressing a press meet in Chikkamagaluru on Wednesday.

She said that the caste certificate is obtained on the basis of the father’s caste. “When did Rahul Gandhi obtain a caste certificate that stated him to be a Brahmin?” she challenged.

Speaking further, the MP said, “Considering Rahul’s father’s caste, calling himself a Dattatreya Brahmin is illogical. It is shocking to find that the national president of the Congress party would give such a statement when elections are nearing.”

The BJP state secretary also took a dig at Rahul Gandhi’s statement that the temple run is not a new thing for him. “He has done it in Karnataka too. He is only continuing it in other states, keeping in mind elections in five states,” said Karandlaje.

She said that the election manifesto of the Congress for state elections is aimed at appeasement of the minority.

“When the MLAs demand funds for development work, Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy points at farmers, saying the money is required to waive farmers’ loans.

The chief minister should reveal how many farmers’ loans have been waived and in which banks,” she demanded.

She also demanded a white paper from the state government on the state of the economy of Karnataka.

Mangaluru, July 30: The Social Democratic Party of India has condemned the move by the state government to drop a lesson on legendary Mysuru rulers Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan from the class 7 textbook.

The Department of Public Instruction has omitted the chapter from the textbooks of Class 7 in their attempt to reduce syllabus for state board schools by 30 per cent.

The department, however, has decided to retain similar chapters on Tipu Sultan in 6th and 10th Classes, though the syllabus in text books for all classes from 1 to 10th has been trimmed. 

In a media release statement, SDPI State President Ilyas Mohammed Thumbe termed the move as communally motivated. “By dropping the lesson, the BJP-led government is engaged in saffronisation of education,” he alleged.

He said that Tipu was the most prominent freedom fighter, who had given priority to irrigation, rocket technology and harmony. The BJP government is also planning to scrap lessons on the Constitution, secularism and democracy. By twisting history, the BJP is trying to mislead the younger generation, he added.

Bengaluru, Mar 13: This year, schoolchildren will have a longer summer vacation starting early, thanks to the new coronavirus onslaught.

Their summer vacations will begin with the completion of their examinations.

Class 10 students will have their examinations according to the dates scheduled earlier.

We have already announced the closure of schools from nursery to sixth standards. Now, we are declaring official holidays upto sixth standard. Students of standards 1-6 will all be promoted based on their formative assessment,” said Kumar adding, “no student will be detained in those classes.”

With respect to seventh, eighth and ninth standards, the schools will be closed for study holidays and students will have to return to write their examinations.“We will not interfere in the examination schedules of CBSE and ICSC schools. However, state syllabus schools have to finish their examinations before March 23”, Public Instruction Commissioner KG Jagadeesh said.Just a couple of papers of the PU examinations are left after which their holidays will begin.

Exam timetable not changed

Miscreants are spreading rumours that SSLC examination dates are changed because of the new coronavirus outbreak. However, Karnataka Secondary Education Examination Board director V Sumangala categorically said the examinations will be held from March 27  to April 9 as scheduled earlier.
