RSS worker’s murder: Saffron groups to hold hunger strike on Aug 8

Mangaluru, Aug 5: Sangh Parivar activists have threatened to launch a hunger strike in the city and taluk headquarters in Dakshina Kannada district on August 8 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. to press the government to arrest those behind the murder of RSS activist Sharath Madiwala in B.C. Road a month ago.

Activists of the Bharatiya Janata Party, the Vishwa Hindu Parishat, the Bajrang Dal, the Hindu Jagarana Vedike and other allied organisations will participate in it, according to K. Monappa Bhandary, former MLC. Talking to presspersons here on Saturday, Mr. Bhandary said despite setting up a special investigation team the district police have so far not arrested any person. 

While police arrested persons involved in the murder of Karopady Gram Panchayat Vice-President Zalil Karopady (in April) and Mohammed Ashraf or Ashraf Kalai (on June 26) quickly, Mr. Bhandary said that they were taking a long time to trace the accused in this case.

“Our police are competent and professional. There seems to be some pressure that’s preventing them from acting against the accused persons,” he alleged.

Vishwa Hindu Parishat Dakshina Kannada unit president Jagadish Shenva alleged that the frequent transfer of police officials in the district showed the lack of seriousness of the State government into the investigation of the murder.

Mangaluru, May 30: Accusing the chief minister B S Yediyurappa led Karnataka government of ignoring frontline warriors against covid-19, Mangaluru MLA U T Khader has demanded immediate release of pending salaries of doctors, lab technicians and nurses hired under the National Health Mission.

Addressing a press conference in the city today, the former minister said that Congress would launch an agitation if the government fails to release the amount immediately.

The non-payment of salaries clearly shows that the government has no concern for the COVID-19 warriors who are serving on a contract basis for two months, he said.

Mr Khader said there are 23,000 personnel hired under the National Health Mission in Karnataka including 600 in Dakshina Kannada district alone.  All of them are waiting for their salaries for the last two months.

“Asha workers were also partially paid for the month of April. If the government had concern towards COVID-19 warriors, they would have paid extra for the doctors, nurses, and other workers who are working tirelessly in the fight against COVID-19 at the grassroots level,” he added.
