Seers to lead communal harmony march in Uttara Kannada

Honnavar, Feb 1: A group of seers and heads of mutts have come forward to hold a silent march in Uttara Kannada district which witnessed several communal clashes and murders in recent days.

The suspicious death of Paresh Mesta in Honnavar weeks ago had triggered widespread violence in the district. Local BJP MP and union minister Anant Kumar Hegde had claimed that Paresh was a BJP activist and that he was tortured to death by Muslims. However, post mortem report of Paresh, who was found drowned, had proven Hegde’s claim to be false.

However, thanks to provocative speeches and sporadic untoward incidents, people in the district still live in the fear of being attacked by assailants or arrested by the police.

Meanwhile, a group of seers of the district have gathered and decided to walk for communal harmony. The silent march will be held in the district soon.

Apart from the seers, advocates, students, educationists, political leaders, temple managements, retired government employees and doctors will join the seers in the silent march.

They are doing noble cause. All people of either religion should come forward and participate in this march. We desperately need peace from some goons from our country.

Kochi, Apr 18: The Centre on Friday informed the Kerala High Court that there was no immediate plan to bring back the Indian citizens stranded in the Gulf countries due to the novel coronavirus outbreak and that the expatriates had been granted visa extension.

The counsel for the central government made the submission before a division bench comprising justices Rajavijayaraghavan and T R Ravi during the hearing of a plea seeking a direction to bring back Indians stranded in the UAE.

Permission of the Gulf countries was required to send medical teams there to carry out medical examination of the stranded Indians, the counsel said when the court sought to know the Centre's view on Kerala government sending medical teams to the Gulf countries to deal with the issue of COVID-19 disease among Malayalees there.

The court posted the plea for April 21 for consideration after the Central government informed that a similar petition is under consideration of the Supreme Court.

In its plea, Kerala Muslim Cultural Centre (KMCC) in Dubai, the organisation for non-resident Indians from Kerala, sought directions to the Ministries of External Affairs and Civil Aviation to provide exemptions in the international air travel ban to bring back Indians stranded in the UAE.

The petitioners noted that those who return could be kept in quarantine as per the protocol of the World Health Organisation (WHO).
