Udupi, Aug 17: Members of the district unit of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) staged a dharna in front of the Deputy Commissioner’s Office here on Thursday demanding a ban on Popular Front of India (PFI) and Karnataka Forum for Dignity (KFD).

Addressing the protesters, Mattar Ratnakar Hegde, president of the district unit of the BJP, said that the attacks on the workers of the BJP and Sangh Parivar had increased in the State. The PFI and KFD were the two organisations that were responsible for these attacks.

These organisations had connections with SIMI, a banned organisation. In fact, the office-bearers of SIMI were now the office-bearers of PFI and KFD. These organisations were involved in several incidents of violence against Hindus and had their network in other States such as Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Goa.

Recent investigation by the police in the murder of the RSS worker Sharath Madiwala had revealed that the PFI was behind it. Sharath Madiwala was hacked to death by a gang on July 4 at B.C. Road in Mangaluru. The police had arrested a person, Khalilullah, and charged him with the murder of Madiwala.

Khalilullah was the president of the Chamarajanagar unit of the PFI. It was not just Mangaluru, these organisations were also involved in violent incidents against activists of Sangh Parivar in Mysuru, Bengaluru and Moodbidri. Hence, it was essential that the government banned both the PFI and KFD in the State. The government should freeze the bank accounts of both these organisations and confiscate all their immovable assets immediately. All cases of assault on Sangh Parivar activists and also their murder should be handed over to the National Investigation Agency (NIA) for a thorough probe.

Chief Minister Siddaramaiah should dismiss Minister for Environment and Forests, B. Ramanath Rai, for supporting these anti-social organisations and for provoking communal violence, Mr. Hegde said.

Bengaluru, Jun 28: Former Chief Minister and senior Congress leader Siddaramaiah asked the Karnataka government to release White Paper over the state of healthcare system and the government's preparedness to address COVID-19 pandemic.

He said that the State Government to come clean on the charges of misappropriation of large sums of funds in the name of fighting the COVID-19 pandemic in the state.

"People are extremely worried about the state of our healthcare system and the government's preparedness to address pandemic. It is the responsibility of Karnataka Chief Minister to clear the doubts and reduce the panic among people. I urge the government to #ReleaseWhitePaper about the same," the Congress leader tweeted.

Siddaramaiah said that the Chief Minister should let people know about the amount of money already spent to improve healthcare facilities, the number of beds and ventilators increased and about the supply of PPE kits to COVID-19 warriors.

"Karnataka Chief Minister should also reveal the contribution of PMO India to our state. Has Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa demanded anything from Narendra Modi? How much of PM CARES Fund is spent for Karnataka's healthcare?" he asked in another tweet.

He went on to say that PMO India and Chief Minister of Karnataka "wasted crucial time during lockdown."

"The purpose of lockdown was to fill the gaps in health care system. But they just widened it by frequently changing the protocols and by not doing adequate tests," he said.

"Karnataka Chief Minister and other departments have failed to answer my multiple queries regarding the actions taken. As a leader of opposition, it is my right to question the government on behalf of people. Deliberate act of denying information is a breach of privilege. Government hospitals have reached its capacity and private hospitals are not ready to treat patients at capped prices," he wrote.

Siddaramaiah said that the Karnataka Chief Minister should either convince private players or take action against them, and added, "Not doing both is like pushing people off the cliff."

He tweeted, "The testing rates per day have come down in last 15 days even when the cases are rising. What is stopping the government from increasing the testing? The government is putting people at risk by not testing adequately."

Further attacking the state government, he wrote, "Our state needs 9000 ventilators, but we have only 1500, PMO India has sent 90 to us. Is this a joke to Karnataka Chief Minister and PMO India? #ReleaseWhitePaper about the ways that they plan to increase ventilators."
