Mangalore, July 21: Expressing 'shock' over phone tapping of Karnataka Lokayukta Justice N Santhosh Hegde, the Dakshina Kannada district unit of AHINDA, a federation of minorities, backward classes and Dalits, termed the act as an “attack on right of privacy guaranteed by the constitution”.

However, welcoming the “leakage of truth”, Lolaksha, District Secretary of AHINDA told media persons here on Thursday that tapping the phone of a responsible person was more 'shocking' than the leakage of the report. “It's a big shock. There should be an inquiry to find out who is responsible for this (leak)” he said.

He said since it is utter breakdown of constitution machinery, custodians of constitution the President and Governor should intervene and take the stringent action against the government.

He said the whole phone tapping incident should be handed over to the CBI for investigation. “But the question is who has to hand over the case to CBI?” he lamented.

He said that the final report should not be considered just as allegation but as a charge-sheet against government since the report was prepared after a comprehensive and elaborated investigation.

He insisted that the Lokayukta should also submit his report to Supreme Court as well as the Governor.

He said it is “shameful” that representatives from undivided Dakshina Kannada including V Dhananjay Kumar, Dr VS Acharya and AG Kodgi tried to influence Lokayukta over the report of illegal mining.

Inhuman tour!

Terming the Chief Minister Yeddyurappa's family tour to Mauritius as “inhuman act”, Mr Lolaksha said that a Chief Minister, who holds the most responsible post in the State, should not be busy in his own family affairs.

Members of AHINDA Vasudev Boloor, BA Muhammad Hanif, PV Mohan, Suresh Shetty, Renny D'Souza and others were present.

Saharanpur (Uttar Pradesh), May 19: Islamic seminary Darul Uloom Deoband has issued a fatwa asking Muslims to offer their Eid prayers this time at home, instead of congregating at mosques.

The directive comes amid a nationwide lockdown to slow down the spread of coronavirus.

Despite the relaxations announced in the lockdown, religious and other large gatherings are still banned.

The fatwa was issued in response to a query put to the seminary, its spokesman Ashraf Usmani said.

The fatwa said the Eid namaz can be offered in the same manner that the Friday prayers are now being read at home.

It said not holding the namaz in the usual manner is pardonable in circumstances such as these.
