Mangaluru, Oct 6: A Muslim youth was attacked by a group of miscreants belonging to a Hindtuva fringe group after a girl belonging to Hindu community shared seat with him on board a Bengaluru-bound KSRTC bus.

ksrtcThe attack took place at KSRTC bus stand in Madikeri on Monday night. The next day a case was registered at the police station in Sullia from where Mohammed Anees and the Hindu girl had boarded the bus.

Though the victim and the girl were residents of Sullia they did not know each other. Since the bus was almost packed, the conductor asked them to share the same seat which could accommodate three persons.

A few passengers, said to be activists of a Hindutva group, raised objections and started a fight. The trouble mongers finally left the bus after the bus staff and other passengers intervened.

However, they passed on the news to their counterparts in Madikeri. When the bus reached Madikeri KSRTC bus stand, the activists pulled out the boy from the bus and assaulted him, sources said.

Sullia police have registered a case under Indian Penal Code (IPC) 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace), 506 (criminal intimidation), 341 (wrongful restraint) and 298 (uttering, words, etc., with deliberate intent to wound the religious feelings of any person). The investigation is on.

These uncultured porkis make their earnings through wrong doings for petty cash and liquor thrown by people from kalladka and pumpwell

These porkis are not doing in love with their community or to protect hindu sisters, when so many of them are being exploited sexually daily by their own brothers.

They have only hatred towards Muslims Christians and Dalits. Bcos they envy empowerment of minorites and backward class

Bus conductor and Madikeri depot personnel didn't act as per law. Under such circumstances, bus is required to be diverted to nearby police station in the interest of bus and safety of passengers. Conductor didn't consider safety of passengers and property over reaching destination.

Wondering what kind of training the KSRTC management gives to conductors and drivers. Government and KSRTC should think of it.

Book these anti social and anti national terrorists under goonda act and put them behind bars for not less than 10 years. This is due to the hate speech by hate nmonger Kalla bhatta. He should be arrested and banned from all activities. Let him be a dummy in his home. Dont let him participate in any activity.

Mangaluru, Jan 25: Orange vendor Harekala Hajabba, popularly known as 'Akshara Santha' (the saint of alphabets), who went on to build a school at Newpadpu village on the city’s outskirts in 1999 is among this year’s Padma Shri awardees.

When Hajabba received the call on being nominated for the award, he was standing in a queue to buy rations.

As he is not fluent in Hindi, Hajabba handed over the phone to an auto driver, who conveyed the news that the Padma Shri award will be conferred on him.

The unlettered achiever set up a primary school from his meagre savings of Rs 150 per day,  selling oranges in Mangaluru. 

“The first time I felt bad for being an illiterate was when a foreigner enquired about the price of oranges in English. I did not know what he meant. So, I decided to start a school in my village,” Hajabba had said during a felicitation programme.

When Hajabba decided to start a school, he did not get any support. He started the school with 28 children.

The school today has been upgraded to a composite high school and is catering to the educational needs of hundreds of children in and around Newpadpu.

He ran from pillar to post in the Zilla Panchayat to make his dream come true. All cash awards he had received went into building the school. The United Christians Association, moved by the sight of his dilapidated house, built a 760-square-foot house costing Rs 15 lakh for him. 

Hajabba’s life was prescribed for the syllabus of three universities - Davangere, Kuvempu and Mangalore. His success story is also included in a Tulu textbook.

He won the Karnataka Rajyotsava award in 2013, Real Heroes award from TV channel CNN-IBN.

Hajabba, when contacted, said he could not believe his ears when told about the award.

New dreams

The frail vendor, in his 60s, humbly declared that he could achieve all this because of the support of all. Hajabba now dreams of upgrading the school into a full-fledged PU college.
