Kasargod, Nov 19: The Kasargod police's action of registering a case against Samastha Kerala Jam-Iyyathul Ulema activists for "raising slogans against the Prime Minister Narendra Modi" during a Shariah protection rally in the Hosdurg police station limits on November 14 has become a controversy.

skPolice have registered a suo motu case against Basheer Vellikoth, Ismail Moulavi and over a hundred identifiable persons under Sections 143, 147, 145, 283, 153, 149 of the IPC. According to the FIR, the mob led by the accused made an unlawful assembly with the intention of creating trouble.

Police said that those in the backline of the rally had created trouble and unheeded the police direction to disperse. "They also shouted slogans against the Prime Minister and created traffic block," police said.

Vellikoth, the IUML Hosdurg mandalam president, said that the rally was peaceful. "It was organised to protest against the Centre's move to bring in common civil code in the country. I was leading the rally from the front," he said.

Vellikoth, who is also the president of the Samyuktha Jamaat Committee, a co-ordination committee of 72 mahal committees, said police in Kanhangad have been showing partiality for some time now.

"They had diverted traffic for the rally in connection with the conference of the All India Democratic Women's Conference, the feeder organisation of the CPM, a few weeks ago. But they registered a case against us for a peaceful rally," he said.

Mangaluru, Jan 15: Thousands of people on Wednesday boarded boats from Ullal's Kotepura to join a massive protest against the amended Citizenship Act and National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Adyar here.

People travelling through boats and steamers decorated with national flags, raised slogans during their journey through the Netravathi River.

The innovative mode of transportation was used by the protestors to reach the venue, as it not only saved time but was also more convenient for the fishermen, as large number of people from this community joined the protest.

The protestors docked their boats at the shore, which was barely 500 metres from the site of protest, being held at Shah Ground in Adyar.

The distance between Kotepura to the Shah Ground is approximately 15 kilometres but protesters would have to walk more five kilometres to reach the venue because of heavy traffic.

Due to protest, the national highway was also blocked and resulted in huge traffic snarls on routes leading to agitation site.

Bengaluru, May 30: A city corporator in Bengaluru was sent into quarantine on Saturday after he tested positive for the coronavirus infection, officials said.

"Yes, I have tested positive," Padarayanapura municipal ward corporator Imran Pasha told some news channels.

The JDS corporator said he would quarantine himself as per the regulations.

The entire area where Pasha lives was cordoned off.

Health workers reached there in an ambulance and gave him a personal protection gear to wear and he was taken to a designated hospital.

Reacting to the development, Karnataka Revenue Minister R Ashoka claimed Pasha hardly paid heed to the COVID-19 regulations.

"He rushes to all those places wherever there are positive cases...," Ashoka told reporters.

Padarayanapura was declared as a containment zone earlier with a few cases coming to the fore.

It was in this area where some policemen and health workers were attacked when they went to quarantine a few primary and secondary contacts of a COVID-19 patient about a month ago.

Following the incident, about 125 people were arrested, and later quarantined after a few of them tested positive.
