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.

Bengaluru, May 29: Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa and BJP State President Nalin Kumar Kateel will resolve any differences of opinion among party leaders in Karnataka, according to Minister of State for Railways Suresh Angadi

If anybody has any issues, they should get them resolved by talking with Yediyurappa and Kateel. Internal matters, if any, should not be discussed in public, he said.

Angadi told reporters here on Friday that differences of opinion among party leaders have not come to his notice. A section of party leaders assembling for dinner should not be constituted as a meeting of dissidents. BJP has internal democracy and any differences of opinion if exist will be resolved at the party forum.

He added that if MLA Umesh Katti has any issues regarding cabinet berth or regarding assurances given to him by Yediyurappa during the Lok Sabha elections, he should talk with the chief minister.

Everyone in politics has aspirations and it's natural. Those aspiring for the upcoming Rajya Sabha elections should talk with the chief minister or the state president, he said.

Ramesh Katti was former MP and there was nothing wrong in him being aspirant for Rajya Sabha elections, he said.

Angadi said, "Party is supreme. We shall work for the victory of party candidates irrespective of who they were".

A state cabinet meeting was held on Thursday. Many of the MLAs too had been to Bengaluru for constituency-related works. As they had been meeting after a long time, all gathered for dinner, he expressed.

Mangaluru, Mar 7: After coronavirus cases were confirmed in different parts of the country, there has been a sudden jump in demand for mask and safety gears like gloves and sanitizers in Mangaluru and Udupi.

With the increase in demand, medical shop owners said that they were finding it difficult to meet the demand.

In fact, there is a demand for bulk supply of masks and gloves. There was demand for masks when Covid-19 was confirmed in China two months ago. Bulk quantities of masks were purchased in order to supply them to Indian employees working in China. A few private firms had purchased masks from Mangaluru in the month of December.
