Mangaluru, May 9: City based activist and rationalist Narendra Nayak on Monday filed a complaint with the Urwa Police about a threat to his life.

nayak In his complaint, Mr. Nayak, who has been spearheading a movement seeking the arrest of those involved in the murder of RTI activist Vinayak Baliga, said that he was threatened by Shashank Shenoy during a chat session on Facebook on Monday afternoon.

The person, who is said to be a follower of Kashi Mutt, asked Mr. Nayak not to speak against Kashi Mutt seer Samyamindra Tirtha and the Venkataramana Temple.

Questioning Mr. Nayak for “putting [his] dirty hands into a tiger's mouth”, Shashank Shenoy is said to have told Mr. Nayak to treat it as a threat.

Mr. Nayak has, in his complaint, also made a mention of the derogatory comments by Goud Saraswat community members on his Facebook account for sharing a report of a local newspaper related to the investigation of Vinayak Baliga's murder.

The community members are said to have threatened Mr. Nayak saying that he would be thrown out of the Goud Saraswat community, he said. The Urwa Police have registered his complaint.

GSBs hurt

Members of the Goud Saraswat Brahmin community on Monday asked Police Commissioner M. Chandra Sekhar to take action against false reports in a section of media of the arrest of a close aide of Kashi Mutt seer Samyamindra Tirtha in connection with the murder of RTI activist Vinayak Baliga.

The members, led by S. Narayan, secretary of the Bengaluru Kashi Mutt Committee, said that they were hurt over the false reports maligning the seer.

It was wrong on the part of the media to report that Vishwanath Bhat, an aide of the seer, had been arrested. Such reports had hurt the community members, they said.

Ruling out any connection of the seer with the murder, Pandit Narasimhacharya, Tantri of Mangaluru's Venkataramana Temple, told reporters that they have sought action against all those behind the false reports maligning the mutt and the seer.

June 1,2020

New Delhi, Jun 1: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday sought a discussion on advances in telemedicine, the use of "Make in India" products in the healthcare, and the use of IT tools in the medical sector for a healthier society.

Addressing an event at the Rajiv Gandhi Health University in Bengaluru via video conference, he sought a discussion on whether new models can be conceived that make telemedicine popular on a larger scale.

Referring to the "Make in India" program, he said the initial gains made in this field make him optimistic. "Our domestic manufacturers have started production of personal protective equipment and have supplied about one crore PPEs to those in the frontline of fighting COVID-19.

Modi said IT-related tools for healthier societies can be of great help.

"I am sure you have heard of Arogya Setu. Twelve crore health-conscious people have downloaded it. This has been very helpful in the fight against coronavirus," he said.

Muslim organisations felicitate State BJP Chief Nalin Kumar

I want to know from them wat was the need for this. Has this helped the ordinary Mangalore Muslims in anyway. I would not have asked abt this if the program was conducted in your house. But here it is done in the name of Muslims. We need to stop being intellectually dishonest

Young energetic Muslim brothers present in Dk ,please note we need young leaders to lead us . Wake up ... and take over .

We respect ur decision sir.

But there are a lot of questions about it on people's mind.

We need to be updated about ur next plan of action.

Are u planning to approach the court for gaining the permission from the police, bcoz otherwise I don't think we will get the permission

Secondly, a few days back I wanted to contact Muslim central committee office to confirm if the protest Wil be there. I googled for the no, but the no. did not exist. Does that mean the Muslim central committee does not have an office or telephone no????

This only shows how organised we are.

Requesting Muslim central committee to get their house in order. Get more professional. Also consult people to utilise various platform to responsibly collect funds from so many ordinary bearys who want to donate money, but don't know whom to send it to.

We need an action committee to handle such situations. It must consist a battery of lawyers to fight the cases filed by the police.

If our leaders are old, they need to groom new leaders into the committee.

Moreover, it is important to question these so called leaders about their fecilitation program conducted for making kateel wen he won the election. Wat was the purpose of such fecilitation. Becoz I don't think he gives a damn when our community suffered. I question, whether all this is done in our name only to gain your contact and flourish ur business???

Never ever dare to do so in the name of Muslims

HDK urges Karnataka govt to announce relief package for farmers

News Network

April 11,2020

Bengaluru, Apr 11: Amid nationwide lockdown in the wake of COVID-19, former Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Saturday urged the state government to announce a relief package for farmers.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday held a video conference with Chief Ministers.

Taking to Twitter, Kumaraswamy wrote, "As the lock down continues, what action plan does the government have to tackle the challenges of ensuring marketing channels for farm produce with timely transport and ensuring uninterrupted supply of essential groceries to towns and cities?"

He later asked the government to act "swiftly and effectively".

"On one hand we see farmers throwing their produce in despair and losing their livelihoods. On the other hand supplies to towns are depleting. This is threatening both lives and livelihoods. The government must act swiftly and effectively," Kumaraswamy tweeted.

"I urge the state government to immediately announce relief package to farmers by way of direct benefit transfer mechanism and purchase all the agricultural produce so as to avoid farmer suicides," he added.

With 40 deaths and 1,035 new COVID-19 cases in the last 24 hours, India on Saturday witnessed a sharpest ever increase in coronavirus cases, taking the tally of the infected people in the country to 7,447, according to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.
