Bengaluru, April 3: Former prime minister HD Deve Gowda has written to Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan stating that he has communicated in writing to Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa to make arrangements for the passing of vehicles related to medical facilities and essential goods between Mangaluru and Kasargod.
"What made me write this letter is the pain and anguish I experienced when BM Farookhji, the national working president of JDS and K Krishnan Kutty, MLA and a member of your Cabinet and member of JDS, a coalition partner of your government brought to my notice the inhuman and inappropriate action on part of the authorities of Karnataka to block the interstate highway between Mangaluru and Kasargod, bringing the traffic movements between the two states and particularly to Kasargod district having a sizeable population of Kannadigas to a grinding halt," Gowda wrote in the letter.
"I immediately wrote a letter to Yeddiyurappaji, the Chief Minister of Karnataka to make arrangements to permit goods movement and the passage of ambulances and other vehicles for any emergency. But authorities of Karnataka government appears to be very adamant despite the assurance given before the High Court," it added.
Gowda said that the situation is very grim since he learnt that four to five patients died for want of medical facilities since the ambulances ferrying the patients were denied permission to cross the border, to avail treatment from the hospitals at Mangaluru.
He also condemned the Karnataka government for denying access to medical facilities to people in Kerala.
"I very strongly condemn the attitude of the BJP government in Karnataka denying access to people from Kerala to avail medical facilities on emergency and also the movement of essential goods for the survival of the people and deprivation of such emergency services amounts to violation of human rights and opposed to all norms of humanity and humanitarian considerations," the letter read.
Gowda said he will take up the issue with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
"I take this opportunity to assure you that I will take up this issue with the Prime Minister who had assured while imposing 21 days of lockdown that the supply of essential commodities will be maintained and hospital facilities will be kept open round the clock so as to prevent any untoward incident," he stated.

Does people select this waste Shoba only for lying and spitting venum of hate. Its shame that people elected such a lady who is a agent of sangh parivar and taking care of creating disturbance and riot in coastal karnataka. Coastal karnataka is not a hub for jihadis as no jihadi is there but hub for sanghi terrorists who are financed by nagpur based terror group and supported by people like kalla bhatta. She should be deprived of her seat and HC should strip her of this position as she is not representing people but representing sangh parivar goondas. She is the main person behind riots and property loss in uttar Kannada dist. HC should order for confiscating her property worth crores of rupees int he form of estates/ bungalows/ shopping arcades etc etc. and distribute among the poeple who lost their homes + businesses.
What about the murders and communal clashes off her rss.Why there is no value for the victims.Being a peoples represantative why she us always talking about rss I/o Indians. Elected member must concentrate on ournation Indias unity. She iplaying political game by the name of religion. From where she got such huge amount to bit benami propetry coffee estate etc. Last week she asking gun today different demand n tomorrow we expect some thing different only to split the society. At our coastall area these communal deshould drohi groopus want communal clash before state essembly election for sake of vote bank.
