Mangaluru, Jan 7: Abdul Hakeem Kuloor, the brother of Ahmed Basheer, who passed away at a hospital on Sunday four days after he was attacked by communal hatemongers at Kottara Chowki in the city, has urged people not to disrupt peace.

“When my brother Basheer was alive everyone respected him. This is time to pray for his soul. No one should try to disrupt peace. There will be no procession,” said a teary-eyed Hakeem, who had shared a close bond with his brother.

The aggrieved brother’s timely statement gains significance in the wake of attempts by saffron forces to take out funeral procession of Deepark Rao, who was hacked death by another gang hours before attack on Basheer on January 3.

When the news of Basheer’s death began to spread, Food and Civil Supplies Minister U T Khader and Mangaluru City North MLA B A Mohiuddin Bava rushed the AJ Hospital and urged the people who had gathered outside the hospital to see the mortal remains to maintain peace. ADGP Kamal Panth too visited the hospital.

Hakeem said that the last rites of Basheer will take place on the premises of Mohiuddin Juma Masjid at Kuloor-Panjimogeru. “Soon after the postmortem the mortal remains will be kept at Basheer’s house at Akashbhavan where only female family members are allowed. Later, the body will be taken to the mosque where Mayyit Namaz will be held. Before burial relatives and friends can see the Basheer’s face there,” he said.

Bengaluru, Jan 19: The long-awaited discussions on cabinet expansion finally took place between BJP national president Amit Shah and the state party unit on Saturday, but they produced no result.

Latest indications are that new members will be appointed only after CM BS Yediyurappa returns from Davos, Switzerland, on January 25.

The party held a close-door party meeting at a top hotel in Hubballi. The subject of expanding the cabinet, which currently has 16 vacancies, featured in the talks.

Earlier, Yediyurappa reportedly had a one-on-one with Shah during their 45-minute flight from Bengaluru to Hubballi. He is said to have insisted on accommodating all 11 newly MLAs in the cabinet. These legislators were earlier a part of Congress and JD(S); they contested the December byelections on BJP tickets and won.

This apart, BJP sources said, Yediyurappa and Shah had a brief chat at a private event at Palace Grounds . Separately, Shah, who is the Union home minister, held meetings with Jagadish Shettar, Laxman Savadi and Prahlad Joshi, seeking their views on cabinet expansion.

Shah also wanted to get an idea of what people think about the Yediyurappa government’s performance.

Newly elected MLAs Ramesh Jarkiholi, BC Patil and Srimanth Patil greeted Shah. “We only met him to wish him; we didn’t discuss the cabinet issue. That’s something state BJP members will do,” said Hirekerur legislator BC Patil.

Saturday’s deliberations fail to break the stalemate over the cabinet appointments. There are clear differences in the camp about whether all Congress-JD(S) defectors should be made cabinet members, according to a senior minister attended one such meeting.

Shah reportedly wants only seven to eight newly elected MLAs to be made ministers; the rest of the spots should go to BJP loyalists. Yediyurappa disagrees with this position as he had promised all 13 turncoats places in the cabinet. Two lost in the bypolls.

Shah has now asked Yediyurappa to visit Delhi after returning from Davos to finalise the composition of the cabinet, according to the sources.

Yediyurappa will leave for Davos early on Sunday, while Shah will fly directly to Delhi from Hubballi.
