Raichur, Oct 30: Criticising the chief minister Siddaramaiah-led Karnataka government for issuing new licence to liquor shops Jagadguru Shivamurthy Shivacharya Swami of Sirigere, Chitradurga, has demanded a complete ban on liquor in the state.

Speaking to presspersons in Raichur before participating in the rally against alcoholism on Sunday, he said that the government move was most worrying and it should be immediately stopped.

Dr. Shivamurthy Shivacharya Swami said that liquor was banned during the rule of erstwhile Kings. Tipu Sultan banned liquor in 1787 amid opposition from his Minister Mir Sadiq saying that “people’s peaceful life is more important than revenue collection”. 

The Congress government should at least follow Tipu Sultan and decide to protect the interests of people by banning liquor, he added.

Dr. Shivamurthy Shivacharya Swami also urged Siddaramaiah to call for a special session to discuss the issue.

To a question, he replied that either he or any other from the organisations fighting alcoholism won’t meet Mr. Siddaramaiah to pressure him to ban liquor, as there has been no response from the successive governments to this 30-year-old struggle. He, however, clarified that the struggle will not be stopped until favourable results are obtained.

Bengaluru, June 22: BJP leader and Madikeri MLA Appachu Ranjan has urged the Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa and Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai to drop cases against the saffron activists who had involved in attacks against cattle traders and transporters across the state.

In a letter addressed to the CM and the Home Minister, the MLA expressed his concern against the illegal transportation and slaughtering of cattle. Cow is considered to be holy in Hinduism. Butchering of cattle has been hurting the religious sentiments of people, he stated.

Ranjan stated that cases had been registered against 'Gau Rakshaks' or cow vigilantes who had fought against the illegal transportation of cattle.

“Filing cases against the protectors of cattle is condemnable. If the cases are not dropped, then there will be none to question the illegal cattle transporters,” he said adding that cases registered against various police stations against cow vigilantes must be dropped.
