Trolls invite BJP leaders to try delicacies of beef-loving Kerala

September 26, 2016

Thiruvananthapuram, Sep 26: The BJP may be busy brainstorming on its strategy in the picturesque town of Kozhikode but a string of social media pages are having a field day baiting the saffron party leaders to try out the region's most famous culinary export: The beef biryani.

A page with the hashtag #ShahtoRahmath' invites BJP leaders to Hotel Rahmath known for red meat dishes with a combo offer, a beef biryani with a sulaimani (lemon-blended black tea). “Amit Shah and Modi would love Gomata but that would dry up after eating beef biryani from Rahmath,” said one of the posts on the page.

Another reminded delegates not to forget to take a parcel of “Kozhikodan halwa” before leaving. Interestingly, non-vegetarian halwa is also available in select shops in the coast city where the Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama landed first in 1498 in search of spices.

The trigger for the sarcasm: The BJP has repeatedly pitched in for cow protection statutes nationwide and many states ruled by the party have banned cow slaughter. The party is also accused by opposition leaders to be anti-beef consumption.

CPI(M) youth wing leader Mohamad Riyaz in his post said delegates can have their choicest meal fearlessly as no one would look or check their plates here. He also took a jibe at Modi, saying he could find such things in Kerala only, not in Somalia. During the assembly election campaign, the PM had courted trouble by equating Kerala with Somalia, citing the infant mortality rate of children in the tribal hamlets of Attapadi.

This isn't the first time other parties have tried to use beef to push the BJP on the back-foot. After Uttar Pradesh man Mohammad Ikhlaq was lynched last year for allegedly slaughtering a cow, many Left outfits organised beef festivals throughout the state. Embarrassed BJP state leaders had to come out saying they were against a beef ban in Kerala.

In Kerala, beef accounts for about 40% of the total meat consumed. Not only Muslim and Christians but also a majority of Hindus relish dishes made out of cow meat.

Bopanna ksa

And also, Allah commanded not to eat animals. Which eats non veg.

Thats why eating tiger, lion etc is banned

Bopanna ksa

Good question. But here is the answer

1. So that He(Allah) may test as to which of us(Humans) follow the command.

Eg: Allah commanded Adam not to consume the fruit in paradise. Just to test if Adam obeys the command.

Some creation are created, just as a test for mankind.

2. Pigs eat waste products, and their own shit, be it garbage/excreta/etc, so they eat humans' byproducts and keep drains clean. They are also used in land cleaning in many places.

Allah also created dinosaurs.

If allah knows everything why did he create the pig ?

@Alfred piggy

Govt to bear Rs 78 cr cost of 108-ft-tall Kempegowda statue outside Airport: DyCM

News Network

June 27,2020

Bengaluru, Jun 27: Announcing Karnataka’s ambitious plan to install a 108-ft-tall statue of Nadaprabhu Kempegowda outside the airport, deputy chief minister Ashwath Narayan said the government will bear the project cost — approximately Rs 78 crore.

Work on the project will formally commence with the chief minister laying foundation stone for installation of the statue and development of a 23-acre park where it will come up, on Saturday.

How soon we get a coronavirus vaccine depends on not only the pace of work in research labs, but also the preparedness of factories supplying glass vials, stoppers and syringes

A look at the factors that may determine the severity of infection

An artist’s impression of the 108-ft-tall statue, which is proposed to come up in a 23-acre park outside KIA. The chief minister will perform bhoomi puja on Saturday.

KPCC president DK Shivakumar on Thursday suggested the cost be borne by Kempegowda International Airport and not the government. He wrote to the CM welcoming the decision to erect a statue of the chieftain at KIA, but asked why should the govenment spend on it. “When huge concessions have been provided to KIA, why not use its services to construct the statue,” he asked. Narayan, who is chairman of Kempegowda Development Authority, said it is the government’s duty to bear the cost.

The government has released sketches of the statue and a blueprint of the park. Noted sculptor Ram Sutar, who designed the Gandhi statue located between Vidhana Soudha and Vikasa Soudha and the Statue of Unity in Gujarat, will be part of this project as well.

Narayan said the government was not competing with any other state on having a tallest/largest statue while emphasising that Kempegowda ensured the city had tanks, markets and drainage system when it was founded. He added the government won’t invite many guests to Saturday’s ceremony. “Most legislators will be given a virtual link to view the event,” he said.

When the economic situation is very bad they are wasting people's money on these things now! These statues can be built when the peoples' basic things are first fulfilled. The title of this topic should be "People to bear the burden of Rs.78 crore", there is nothing like governments money, it's all belong to people.

What is the neccessity of spending tax payers money in building Statue when there is great need of these amount in improving the quality of Health sector during COVID-19 Pandemic. Government must be smart enough to prioritise the need of the people.

HC asks Karnataka govt to issue SOP to curb child porn, probe missing children cases

News Network

July 23,2020

Bengaluru, July 23: The High Court of Karnataka has directed the state government to formulate Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for child protection, particularly for cases of child pornography and child missing.

A division bench comprising Chief Justice Abhay Shreeniwas Oka and Justice M Nagaprasanna passed a detailed order and asked the state government to submit compliance within three months.

The division bench passed the order on two PILs, including a suo motu litigation registered in 2018. The PILs were registered to ensure effective implementation of the directions of the Supreme Court on the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 (JJ Act).

The bench observed that in normal courses, courts do not issue writ of mandamus to the legislature on rule-making aspects. However, when the failure of the state is demonstrated under exceptional circumstances, courts can issue directions. The bench directed the state government to expedite the rule-making process to ensure proper implementation of the JJ Act.

The bench expressed displeasure on the insensitive police investigation in cases of child pornography. “The police machinery did not show the sensitivity expected from it while dealing with cases of alleged child pornography. Therefore, it will be appropriate if the state issues SOP or guidelines for dealing with cases of child pornography so that proper investigation is carried out in such cases. As we are directing the formation of SOP for dealing with child pornography cases, the state is also directed to formulate guidelines on child missing cases,” the bench said.

The bench had been issuing several directions since 2018 and has also been monitoring police investigations. The court observed that while the state government has incorporated several directions, some issues still remain unaddressed.

The bench directed the government to have dedicated staff for the Directorate of Integrated Child Protection Scheme considering the sensitive nature of work.

On working of Juvenile Justice Boards (JJB), the court asked the Registrar General of the Karnataka High Court to issue directions to the principal magistrates of all the JJBs in the state to sit on all working days for a minimum of six hours a day.

The high court directed the state to exercise the rule-making powers for obtaining an annual report from the State Commission for Protection of Child Rights.
