Cases against 2,806 Hindus, 341 Muslims withdrawn during Cong rule in Karnataka

Brushing aside the BJP’s charge of ‘minority appeasement’ by the Congress government in Karnataka, the State Home Ministry has said that cases filed against innocent people belonging to all communities during communal clashes would be withdrawn.

The Ministry, meanwhile, has withdrew a recent circular issued by the office of the Director-General and Inspector-General of Police (DG&IGP) to heads of all districts on dropping cases registered against “innocent minorities”, claiming that it was a “clerical error”. The circular, which had riled the BJP that said it amounted to “minority appeasement”, was recalled and the department issued a revised version instead, dropping the word “minorities” and inserted “all innocent people”.

Speaking to presspersons in Bengaluru on Saturday, Home Minister Ramalinga Reddy said the notice was issued only in the context of implementation of the Sachar Committee recommendations. The Cabinet subcommittee constituted for implementation of the committee recommendations had sought information from all police officials on cases registered against those from minority community.

Revoking cases against innocent people from minority community was among the several recommendations of the committee report, which the subcommittee headed by Minister for Health and Family Welfare K.R. Ramesh Kumar sought to implement. In this context, a note was originally sent on December 22, 2017 to all the police officials concerned, followed by a reminder on January 25, 2018, the Home Minister clarified.

Revised notice

Nonetheless, the department has now issued a revised notice, as the government is open to withdrawing cases against innocent people from all communities, not just with regard to communal clashes, but also in cases of Cauvery, Mahadayi, and farmers protests, Mr. Reddy said.

“Let the organisations concerned send us an appeal and we will consider them all,” he said, referring to self-proclaimed Hindutva outfits. However, if it was a case of murder, attempt to murder or damage to property, the cases could not be dropped, irrespective of which community the accused belonged to, he added.

The truth behind Muslim appeasement

The Home Department stated that during the last four years, cases against 3,164 people have been withdrawn. Among them 2,806 Hindus and 341 Muslims. These are not just with regard to communal clashes but also include other incidents and protests. As many as 414 cases, registered against innocent people during protests or clashes, were withdrawn between 2015 and 2017, the minister said.

With an aim to provide water to stray animals in Mangaluru, an animal activist announced a project 'Jal' under which free water bowls will be distributed to the people across the city.

Tauseef Ahmed believes many animals and birds do not find source to drink water which leads to death.
"Finding clean and safe drinking water has been a major issue in a lot of places. We humans when we face some scarcity we manage by taking the water out from the well," Ahmed told ANI.

"Unfortunately, that's not the case with when it comes to animals and birds. They do not find sources for water to drink so they eventually end up drinking sewage water and they fall sick. In some cases, even that is not available and due to dehydration, they die," he added.

Under the "Jal" project, Ahmed will distribute free water bowls to the people and expects them to make equal efforts in saving the lives of the animals.

"So, this project "Jal" will be providing 100 free water bowls all over Mangaluru. We are distributing it free of cost. All you have to do is keep the bowls outside in the garden or any places where animals frequently visit. Every day, we just have to fill the bowls with water for the animals. It will help a lot of animals to survive in the harsh weather of summers," Ahmed highlighted.

"We have used cement to make the bowls which will keep the eater really cool. We are spending close to 74 rs per bowl. We have made around 100 bowls and will continue making it. We are trying to cover as many animals as we can," he said.
