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.

Mangaluru, Jan 29: Days after some youths allegedly threatened to 'behead' local MLA and former Karnataka minister U T Khader during a pro-CAA rally here, the Dakshina Kannada district unit of the Congress on Wednesday urged the police to register a case against the culprits.

A video of the incident that went viral on social media showed the youths raising slogans that they will "cut off his limbs and chop off his head if necessary" during the rally organised by the BJP in support of the Citizenship Amendment Act on Monday.

Addressing reporters here, District Congress Committee president Harish Kumar demanded that the police register a case on their own against the youths. He said if prompt action was not taken against the youths seen in the video, the Congress will launch an agitation before the office of the Commissioner of Police.

When asked by reporters about the video, Khader had on Tuesday brushed aside the threat, saying he had not taken it seriously. The MLA had also said he did not file a complaint with police as he had concern for the families of the youths.
