Thrown out of Cong, Harikrishna Bantwal joins BJP chanting Hindutva mantra

Mangaluru, Nov 12: Harikrishna Bantwal, the confidante of former union minister B Janardhana Poojary, has formally embraced the Bharatiya Janata Party nearly two years after he was expelled from the Congress on charge of anti-party activities.

The Billava community stalwart, who officially joined the saffron party during BJP’s public meet held at BC Road in Bantwal on Saturday as part of Karnataka Parivartana Yatra, on Sunday addressed another public meet at Nehru Maidan in Mangaluru city and reiterated his commitment to Hindutva ideology.

Harikrishna claimed that he quit Congress because it lacked patriotism and nationalism. “Congress leaders tolerate pro-Pakistan slogans but cannot tolerate pro-Hindu and pro-India slogans,” he claimed.

It could be recalled here that in December 2015 Harikrishna had termed the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee’s decision to expel him for six years as unacceptable. He also had claimed that party should have expelled the senior leaders instead of taking action against him. The KPCC had expelled him for contesting the Legislative Council polls as a rebel candidate against the party’s official candidate.

Continuing the barb against Congress and its leaders, Harikrishna predicted the death of Congress in coastal Karnataka in 2018. “Tulu Nadu will become a gateway for victory for BJP in the upcoming Karnataka assembly elections,” he said.

He also said that he was not new to BJP. “Earlier I was with the other BJP (B Janardhana Poojary). Now I have joined Bharatiya Janata Party. This is in fact a homecoming," he declared.

Vociferously praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he said that former’s dream of Congress Mukt Bharat will soon be a reality. “Modi hails from the land of Gandhi who drove away the British. Now, Modi will drive away the Congress,” he said.

Will give Rs 10 lakh for eliminating "pro-Pakistan" sloganeers: Sri Ram Sena leader

News Network

February 23,2020

Bellari, Feb 23: Fringe outfit Sri Ram Sena leader Sanjeev Maradi said on Friday said that organization will reward Rs 10 lakh to the person who will 'eliminate' those who have raised "pro-Pakistan" slogans including Amulya who recently raised "Pakistan Zindabad" slogan at an anti-CAA protest in Bengaluru.

"We request both state and central government not to release them (Pro-Pakistan sloganeers) on bail. If they will be released Sri Ram Sena will eliminate them or will give a reward of Rupees 10 lakh to those who kill them," said Sanjeev Maradi.

"We condemn such slogans. This is like a virus. First, it happened in Jammu and Kashmir, then in JNU, then Mysore and then a student named Amulya raised pro Pakistan slogan in Bengaluru," he added.

A girl named Amulya raised 'Pakistan Zindabad' slogan on Thursday at an anti-CAA protest where AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi was also invited.

Thereafter, a case was registered under Section 124A (Offence of sedition) of the Indian Penal Code against the student.

Meanwhile, Imran Pasha, the organizer of the anti-CAA protest said that Amulya was not invited to the event.

"We were the organizers of the event. At around 6:45 pm on Thursday, when I and Member of Parliament Asaduddin Owaisi were entering the stage area, we did not notice Amulya was present there. I did not invite her," Pasha told media.

Students of containment zones barred from SSLC exam in Karnataka

News Network

May 23,2020

Bengaluru, May 23: SSLC and PUC students residing in containment zones will not be able to write the exams scheduled to be held in June and July, respectively, but will be given opportunity to write the supplementary examination and treated as fresh candidates.

Primary and Secondary Education Minister S. Suresh Kumar announced this at a press conference on Friday.

In turn, officials in the Department of Primary and Secondary Education will start collecting the list of students in containment zones. However, they are worried since the list of containment zones is dynamic and a particular locality can be declared a containment zone even the night before the examination.

“If any examination centre is located in the containment zone, then we can change the centre and move it to a non-containment zone. However, if a student resides in a zone that is declared containment zone just before the exam, there is no option but for the person to skip the exam,” an official said.

Officials of the department are worried about another scenario as well. “There is a chance that midway through the examination, an area is becomes a containment zone. Then some students may write a few papers and give the rest a miss. Implementation at the district- and block-levels will be a challenge,” said an official.

Sources said that the department is working out several situations that may arise and trying to work on providing practical solutions to the students.

Around 5.98 lakh students have registered for the second pre-university English examination that is scheduled to be held on June 18. As many as 8.48 lakh students have registered for the SSLC examination scheduled to be held between June 25 and 4 July. Currently, there are 261 containment zones in Karnataka that have 5.49 lakh people residing in these zones.

Meanwhile, the Karnataka Secondary Education and Examination Board has decided to ensure that only 18 students are seated in a classroom to write the SSLC examination. This is to ensure that social distancing is maintained in the exam hall.

one day snake must come out from rat hole...that day we will wait

Dear DC Dr. Harsha, we want to know if you will take strict action on these anti nationals / rowdis / day robbers / terrorists who ransacked auto + beaten the auto driwer and stolen Rs. 10,000 from him though he was legally transporting the meat. They same terrorists are involved in transporting live animals to beef export houses in Gujrat owned by Brahmins / Jains. Will you be loyal to your duty and promise. We will see how you will handle the issue failing which you will lose our respect and we will consider you as a dramabaz and phenku. You should follow the law and treat everyone equally. There should not be any pity on goondas/ terrorists belonging to sangh parivar. The terrorists who thrashed the auto driver and damaged the auto and burnt the meat by pouring kerosene are not human beings and should be treated as anti nationals + terrorists. We hope you will discharge your duty as per the oath taken by you while accepting your post.
