SDPI holds ‘Raj Bhavan Chalo’ demanding repeal of NRC in Assam

Bengaluru, Oct 15: The Social Democratic Party of India today held a ‘Raj Bhavan Chalo’ rally in Benglauru demanding repeal of the National Register of Citizenship (NRC), which is being utilized as a weapon by the Centre to target Muslims in Assam. 

The protesters said that about 40 lakh names were left out in the NRC in Assam which worsened the situation of poor and backward Bengali speaking people in the state. Surprisingly, thousands of peoples’ names were missed out in the NRC even when their close relatives and family members’ names were registered in the same.

The protesters forwarded a memorandum to the president of India urging him to take necessary steps to either repeal NRC in Assam or if the government adamantly insists on NRC, then it has to include all the people living in Assam as the citizen of this country up to this day.

In a released issued here, SDPI observed that the people who are missed out from NRC may fall into the clasp of massive mistrust, frictions and oppression from the society and state as well. This will create a big state-made civilian crisis which will impact on to the neighboring states also.

The central government and state government of Assam should not fall into the pressure created by any divisive forces which are unnecessarily create false hue and cry and ruckus over Bengali speaking people in the state, it stated.

Bengaluru, Jan 16: Former chief minister Siddaramaiah and other leaders are likely to make the final decision on the name of the next Congress president of Karnataka soon, said party leader Dinesh Gundu Rao on Thursday.

"He (Siddaramaiah) has met all the leaders and I think soon they will make a decision. It has already been delayed, it should not have been delayed so much. I am sure high command will take a decision on this," Rao told reporters here.

Both Siddaramaiah and Gundu Rao had resigned from their posts, Leader of Congress Legislature Party and KPCC president, after the party's drubbing in the bye-elections held for 15 Assembly seats last year.

Bengaluru, Aug 7: Amid the rising number of COVID-19 cases in Karnataka, the state's health department issued fresh guidelines for the disposal of bodies of COVID patients.

"Although an increased risk of COVID infection from a dead body to health workers or family members who follow standard precautions while handling the body is unlikely, the lack of scientific data requires the utmost care to avoid the inadvertent spread of COVID-19 during these times," the statement from the health department's press release read, emphasising on the dignity of the dead and the religious and cultural tradition.

The 23-page press release elaborated on guidelines regarding testing, handling of dead bodies and other specificities in relation to the management of COVID-19 bodies.

"Testing should not be insisted in every case of death, but only when they have a recorded history of influenza-like symptoms. The body should be handed over to the family members/ relatives in a dignified manner immediately after swab collection and hospitals should provide handouts with a list of dos and don'ts in English and Kannada laying down relevant information," the statement said.

It added, "At the mortuary, health care workers, mortuary staff and the family of the deceased body shall not come in direct contact with the dead body and must wear full personal protective equipment (PPE). If the family or relative are for any reason unable to cremate or bury the body, the local health authority shall arrange for the dignified last rites as per the religious traditions of the family."

Regarding autopsies (post mortem) on COVID-19 bodies, the state department said that they should be avoided, except in necessary circumstances.

The statement also gave detailed guidelines regarding the appropriate recording of COVID-19 deaths in line with the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) guidelines.

Additionally, the health department made a statement about the admission procedure for COVID positive patients referred by other district administrations saying, "It is now mandatory for all the referrals from the BBMP admission and discharge of COVID positive patients to be done through the online COVID Hospital Bed Management System (CHBMS)."

The state's count of coronavirus cases was 1,51,449 in the past 24 hours.

So far, a total of 2,804 people have died due to COVID-19 in the state, while the average recovery rate in Karnataka is 49.3 per cent.
