Congress ignoring my grandson; Siddaramaiah is arrogant: Jaffer Sharief

Bengaluru Apr 1: Veteran Congress leader and former Railway Minister C K Jaffer Sharief has launched a fresh attack on Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's style of functioning.

Sharief told reporters that Siddaramaiah was "high on arrogance" and that affairs in the state Congress had spiraled out of control. "It's like there's no high command. Only those with money have the command. The party is in the hands of those who don't know the Congress' culture," Sharief said.

The 84-year-old said he had no hopes of his grandson C K Abdul Rahman Sharief getting the party ticket for the upcoming Assembly polls. "No one has talked to me. Everyone has ignored," he rued.

Party tickets had been finalised for candidates belonging to one particular community, Sharief pointed out. "Varthur Prakash in Kolar, 'MTB' Nagaraj in Hoskote, Byrathi Basavaraj in KR Puram, Byrathi Suresh in Hebbal...if people from one community get priority, what will others get," Sharief asked, adding that there was "complete confusion" in the party.

Though he did not take the name of any particular community, all those whom he referred to belong to the Kuruba community.

Sharief also took exception to the government's decision to grant 'religious minority' status to the Lingayat community. "Government and religion are two different things. No government should interfere with religion. The way the government went about the Lingayat religion decision was wrong," Sharief said.

Bengaluru, Aug 7: Amid the rising number of COVID-19 cases in Karnataka, the state's health department issued fresh guidelines for the disposal of bodies of COVID patients.

"Although an increased risk of COVID infection from a dead body to health workers or family members who follow standard precautions while handling the body is unlikely, the lack of scientific data requires the utmost care to avoid the inadvertent spread of COVID-19 during these times," the statement from the health department's press release read, emphasising on the dignity of the dead and the religious and cultural tradition.

The 23-page press release elaborated on guidelines regarding testing, handling of dead bodies and other specificities in relation to the management of COVID-19 bodies.

"Testing should not be insisted in every case of death, but only when they have a recorded history of influenza-like symptoms. The body should be handed over to the family members/ relatives in a dignified manner immediately after swab collection and hospitals should provide handouts with a list of dos and don'ts in English and Kannada laying down relevant information," the statement said.

It added, "At the mortuary, health care workers, mortuary staff and the family of the deceased body shall not come in direct contact with the dead body and must wear full personal protective equipment (PPE). If the family or relative are for any reason unable to cremate or bury the body, the local health authority shall arrange for the dignified last rites as per the religious traditions of the family."

Regarding autopsies (post mortem) on COVID-19 bodies, the state department said that they should be avoided, except in necessary circumstances.

The statement also gave detailed guidelines regarding the appropriate recording of COVID-19 deaths in line with the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) guidelines.

Additionally, the health department made a statement about the admission procedure for COVID positive patients referred by other district administrations saying, "It is now mandatory for all the referrals from the BBMP admission and discharge of COVID positive patients to be done through the online COVID Hospital Bed Management System (CHBMS)."

The state's count of coronavirus cases was 1,51,449 in the past 24 hours.

So far, a total of 2,804 people have died due to COVID-19 in the state, while the average recovery rate in Karnataka is 49.3 per cent.
