Mudipu, June 12: If at all the kids living in and around Nyupadpu and Harekala area of Dakshina Kannada district can read and write the credit should solely go to this illiterate orange vendor named Harekala Hajabba.

Keeping all his problems aside, Hajabba had dreamt of having a good school in his village itself so as to help the students study nearby school instead of treading a few kilometres in their quest for education.

Though the government had sanctioned a high school, it did not have a school building. Now with the help of the donors and the government, Hajabba has built a school building.

With this, the crusader is not going to rest. Ask him what next? 'PU College' comes the answer.

Hajabba, after shaping up a school for the village single-handedly, now aims at having a PU College for the students wanting to pursue their further studies.

Speaking to Deccan Herald, he said that his dream of having a new school building came true thanks to the help of government and donors.

“I want to start government PU College. I have already submitted memorandum to Chief Minister and MLAs in this regard,” he said. The government had sanctioned high school to the existing primary school in 2007-08 but the school did not have own building.

The classes were held in the primary school classrooms and three batches of students have passed out. At present, as many as 130 students are studying in the high school section of the school. The new building will be inaugurated on June 14.

The programme will be attended by MP Nalin Kumar Kateel, MLA U T Khader, ZP President Shailaja Bhat and others. Realising the need for a school in Nyupadpu, the Jamaath in the region started first standard in the madrasa, when Hajappa was the president. Owing to shortage of fund, the school was facing threat of closure.

It was then that Hajabba took up the challenged of raising funds and giving the schools all the facilities required. With the help of the then MLA U T Fareed, Hajabba raised adequate funds and succeeded in purchasing land for the school building.

The high school has six teachers. The school has 1.19 acre land and there is a need to build compound wall around the school.

New Delhi, Feb 3: Congress leader BK Hariprasad on Monday condemned BJP MP Anantkumar Hegde's remark on Mahatma Gandhi and termed him as "son" of Nathuram Godse, the assassin of the freedom fighter.

"Only sons of Nathuram Godse can make such comments on Mahatma Gandhi," Hariprasad said.

Hedge had attacked Mahatma Gandhi by calling the freedom struggle led by him a "drama" and also questioned as to how "such people" come to be called 'Mahatma' in India.

"None of these so-called leaders were beaten up by the cops even once. Their independence movement was one big drama. It was staged by these leaders with the approval of the British. It was not a genuine fight. It was an adjustment freedom struggle," he had said.

The Trinamool Congress also lent its support to Congress as its leader Saugata Roy said people like Anant Hegde cause shame to the nation. "We are a supporter of Gandhi and they (BJP) are Nathuram Godse supporters. People of this country should see how BJP MPs are as they insult father of the nation," he added.

BJP leaders too found it difficult to defend Hegde on the controversial remarks.

Senior leader Jagdambika pal was cautious in his defence and said, "The whole world knows about Gandhi and it may be his personal opinion."

Whereas senior BJP leaders avoid commenting on Hegde, Union Minister Ashwani Choubey said that Hegde should not have made the comment and added that Gandhi is a well-respected figure in the nation.

Another BJP MP from Haryana Sanjay Bhatia also tried to shy away from making a direct comment and instead said," Congress did not implement what Gandhi preached. It is Prime Minister Narendra Modi who implemented Gandhi's teachings in letter and spirit."

Speaking to media persons here on Friday, Mr Bhyrappa said that Congress was adopting the divide and rule policy of the British, who had created a rift between the Hindus and the Muslims to break their unity during the freedom struggle.
