Mangalore, June 21: Terming the “oath politics”, as 'disgraceful', 'disagreeable' and an 'evil practice', Pejawar Mutt pontiff Vishwesha Theertha Swamiji urged Chief Minster BS Yeddyurappa and former Chief Minister HD Kumarasamy to withdraw from their scheduled “test of truth” before the deity at Dharmasthala.




Addressing media persons after performing his Tulabhara in the city, the seer said that such an adverse step by senior political leaders of the state is a matter of concern.



"This move to self-justify the respective stands taken by them before Lord Manjunatha of Dharmasthala will result in curse and counter-curse for them" the Swamiji warned.



He also said that neither Yeddyurappa, nor Kumaraswamy can gain justice by spelling out their swearing lines before the deity, and would instead invite wrath from all sides.



If the CM and JD(S) state president have to continue with their argument and counter argument, they can approach a court to settle disputes, rather than approaching the diety, he said.



Yeddyurappa has fixed June 27 morning, around 10 a.m., to take oath before the idol of Manjunatha at Dharmasthala that he has not made any attempt to buy Kumaraswamy's silence. Kumaraswamy, said in response that he would be there on June 26 evening itself to take oath in the name of the diety and stick to his stand that Yeddyurappa tried to buy his silence through his emissary.

Feb 25: Two Customs Preventive officers allegedly involved in gold smuggling cases in Kerala were removed from service, a top official said in Kochi on Monday.

Sumit Kumar, Commissioner of Customs (Preventive), Kochi, said that he took action against Radhakrishnan B, Superintendent of Customs, and Rahul, Inspector of Customs, who were allegedly involved in gold smuggling cases in the state.

Radhakrishnan was involved in attempted smuggling of gold weighing 24998.61 grams having a market value of over Rs 8 crore through Thiruvananthapuram international airport on May 13, 2019, Kumar said.

Rahul was involved in attempted smuggling of gold weighing 11,035.54 grams valued at over Rs 4 crore through international airport on August 19, 2019, the Customs Commissioner added.

Radhakrishnan is currently lodged in Central prison, Thiruvananthapuram after the Central Economic Intelligence Bureau under the Union Finance Ministry issued detention order under COFEPOSA (Conservation of Foreign Exchange and Prevention of Smuggling Activities Act, 1974).

Rahul, against whom detention order under COFEPOSA was issued, is absconding.

"Two Customs officers of the Customs Preventive Commissionerate, Kochi, who were involved in gold smuggling cases were removed from service by Sumit Kumar, Commissioner of Customs (Preventive), Cochin," an official release said.

Kumar said that both the cases were booked and investigated by the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence and while show cause notice under Customs Act 1962 has been issued against Radhakrishnan, investigation is under progress in the other case.

"Both the officers were removed from service, after due process of law under Rule 19 of the Central Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules, 1965," the release said.
