Udupi, Aug 23: Shocked by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's remarks against so called cow protectors, Hindu Janajagruthi Samithi's Udupi district unit has demanded a public apology from him.

Mr Modi had recently revealed that he knew the fact that some of the so called gau rakshaks were in fact anti-social elements and criminals. "I want to tell everybody to beware of these fake cow protectors. These handful of vigilantes have nothing to do with cow protection, but want to create tanaav' (tension) and takrav' (conflict) in our society," he had stated in a public meet.

Addressing a protest rally organised to condemn the PM's statement here, the Samithi's district president Vijay Kumar said that the cow protectors have been insulted by the PM. “Modi has called them anti-social elements. He has committed injustice by ordering action against cattle protectors who make up nearly 80% of the population in the country. The prime minister's opinion, which in turn, represents the government's view, is a major step towards luring the minorities,” he said.

He said the government's decision to take stringent action against cow vigilantes would end up in the increasing number of cases on cattle trafficking and slaughter. A majority of people are hurt by the decisions of the prime minister and the government in general, he said.

He said that cattle protectors put their lives in risk and involve in the task. Many times, the traffickers armed with deadly weapons and attack the people who stop them. Despite all odds, the people who believe in the religious sanctity of the cow, are carrying out a massive campaign, he claimed.

He demanded that the government, instead of reprimanding the protectors of the cattle, should take stringent action against the cattle traffickers and warn them.

Samithi leader Dinesh Nayak condemned prime minister for calling the caretakers of the cattle fake.'

He said Modi has a hidden agenda in the backdrop of the forthcoming polls in Uttar Pradesh. His statements insults the majority community in the country. There would be disastrous consequences as a result of prime minister remarks, he warned.

Deception - back fired.
BJP is the main source of supporting the cheddis.
Your plans are weakening YOU and those who play with the rules of God will face such humiliation through your own evil plans.
In few days their own hindu brothers will be attacked... dalits r already under attack... now rest of the hindus too will be attacked by the mindless cheddis?
Honest hindus should recognise this and voice out against the cheddis who is creating unrest in the society.

Dear Our Gau Rakshak Brothers

First of all prove true religiously and scientifically do you say slogans to protect cows and not other animals.
A true religion always goes with science, it does not clash with science. In vedas, you can see Hindu Rshis have eaten and sacrificed cows, cattle.

If you have evidence against your claim, bring to the public and you will have support of not only all Indians and also you will have worldwide support. What version of Hinduism are you following.

Cows in India are less than 10% of cows in the whole world.
If you are truthful with your claims, prove the whole world that your claim of go rakshan is correct.
If you can prove, you will have reward from the God and also appreciation by the whole world.

Imposing and Bringing blind faith on others is your atrocity to others. You are indirectly forcing others to follow your blind faith, which is bad.

Simply if you don't want to eat beef, it is upto you,
Others are eating their cow. Not your cow.
Don't force others to follow you and stop their food.

Our fair Hindu brothers and sisters should raise concerns and stop their illiterate so called flag carriers of Hindu religion.

Mangaluru, Jan 25: Orange vendor Harekala Hajabba, popularly known as 'Akshara Santha' (the saint of alphabets), who went on to build a school at Newpadpu village on the city’s outskirts in 1999 is among this year’s Padma Shri awardees.

When Hajabba received the call on being nominated for the award, he was standing in a queue to buy rations.

As he is not fluent in Hindi, Hajabba handed over the phone to an auto driver, who conveyed the news that the Padma Shri award will be conferred on him.

The unlettered achiever set up a primary school from his meagre savings of Rs 150 per day,  selling oranges in Mangaluru. 

“The first time I felt bad for being an illiterate was when a foreigner enquired about the price of oranges in English. I did not know what he meant. So, I decided to start a school in my village,” Hajabba had said during a felicitation programme.

When Hajabba decided to start a school, he did not get any support. He started the school with 28 children.

The school today has been upgraded to a composite high school and is catering to the educational needs of hundreds of children in and around Newpadpu.

He ran from pillar to post in the Zilla Panchayat to make his dream come true. All cash awards he had received went into building the school. The United Christians Association, moved by the sight of his dilapidated house, built a 760-square-foot house costing Rs 15 lakh for him. 

Hajabba’s life was prescribed for the syllabus of three universities - Davangere, Kuvempu and Mangalore. His success story is also included in a Tulu textbook.

He won the Karnataka Rajyotsava award in 2013, Real Heroes award from TV channel CNN-IBN.

Hajabba, when contacted, said he could not believe his ears when told about the award.

New dreams

The frail vendor, in his 60s, humbly declared that he could achieve all this because of the support of all. Hajabba now dreams of upgrading the school into a full-fledged PU college.

Bengaluru, Mar 29: There was no shortage of masks and testing kits for detecting coronavirus cases in Karnataka and the government would import them if a need arose, Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa on Sunday said.

Apprising leaders of political parties on measures taken by his government to combat spread of coronavirus, he also told an all-party meeting that the government has decided to provide life insurance cover to police and civil workers and has taken extra precautions to maintain supply of food grains.

"There is no shortage of testing kits, medicines and masks. If there is need, we will import more... We will distribute testing kits to all the district and Taluk hospitals," he was quoted as saying in a government release.

The state has so far reported 76 COVID-19 cases including three deaths and five discharges.

At the meeting held in the Vidhana Soudha here, former chief minister and senior Congress leader Siddaramaiah said there were shortcomings in the screening of passengers coming from abroad and stressed on the need to maintain supply of essentials.

Yediyurappa said supply of foodgrains would be made through Public Distribution System and the government had taken extra precautions to avoiod any difficulties.

He told the leaders that there was no restriction on agriculture activities in the state.

"I have been regularly holding meetings since March 13 regarding the measures taken to contain the transmission of COVID-19," the chief minister said.

Health Minister B Sriramulu, Medical Education Minister Dr K Sudhakar, IT-BT Minister C N Aswath Narayan, Deputy Chief Minister Laxman Savadi, Siddaramaiah, JD(S) MLAs H D Revanna, D K Shivakumar and former speaker K R Ramesh Kumar attended the meeting.

Yediyurappa said a task force comprising of ministers and officials has been formed to oversee the implementation of the government orders in view of the 21-day lockdown.

He highlighted the prevailing situation across the globe saying normal life has been paralysed everywhere.

The chief minister also brifed the leaders about the number of clinics all over the state, availability of medicines and protection gear for the doctors and in quarantine rooms in the state.

Flagging concerns over screening process, Siddaramaiah said around 4,500 people were yet to be tracked, which need to be taken up on a warfooting.

"The government is saying that we have not reached the third stage but in Nanjangud, a person contracted the disease though he does not have any travel history. This must be probed," he said.

The former former chief minister asked the government to make sure that the free distribution of food grains to weaker sections take place without any difficulty from April 1, as announced by the Central government.

He objected to police 'excesses' while enforcing lockdown.

Siddaramaiah also asked government to bring the police personnel under special insurance cover.
