Poojary seeks judicial probe into circumstances of Yeddy's sickness

Mangalore, October 16: Taking on the politicians who fall sick when confronted by the law, former Union Minister B Janardhan Poojary demanded judicial probe into circumstances which saw former CM B S Yeddyurappa being taken to Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences and Research from Parappana Agrahara.

Addressing the media persons at District Congress Office here on Sunday, the senior Congress leader said a sitting judge of High Court should investigate sudden sickness of Yeddyurappa after he was remanded to judicial custody.

He termed the transfer of Yeddyurappa from prison to hospital as an affront to the entire judicial process.

Suspecting the roles of Chief Minister D V Sadananda Gowda, police and prison officers and doctors in shifting Yeddyurappa to hospital, Mr Poojary said that a thorough enquiry is needed to bring out the truth.

Mr Poojary expressed doubt over the credibility of Chief Minister D V Sadananda Gowda's promise of fair and transparent administration questioning the latter's abrupt cancellation of Mumbai trip following his predecessor's arrest. He also asked the necessity of cabinet ministers calling on the arrested former CM in prison and special hospitality for him among the prisoners.

Recalling the episodes of Katta Subrahmanya Naidu and H Hallapa, the arrested cabinet colleagues of Yeddyurappa, Mr Poojary dubbed Yeddyurappa's complaint of back pain, chest pain and vomiting in the wee hours, a drama. Interestingly, Yeddyurappa's aide S N Krishnaiah Shetty too is following the same tactics, he alleged.

Even when Janardhan Reddy was arrested he suffered from chest pain but the CBI officials in Andhra Pradesh did not give scope to his drama,” Poojary said adding that Congress and other party leaders never used illness as a weapon to evade imprisonment.

“Kalmadi was admitted to hospital because he was sick. We should know that Kalmadi returned to jail after treatment, unlike Halappa who had a long stay in the hospital. Halappa's illness disappeared only after receiving bail,” ridiculed Poojary.

Stating that B S Yeddyurappa's rule in Karnataka has tainted the state's fame, he regretted that Karnataka is now looked at as one of the most corrupt states in the nation.

“If Advani is a man of values, then he should dismiss B S Yeddyurappa from the party or else his Rathayathra will have no meaning,” he commented.

He said that Congress members will not protest against Rathayathra and give it cheap publicity.

Poojary also questioned JD(S) Leader H D Kumaraswamy's sudden outpour of compassion for B S Yeddyurappa. “HDK has said that he has been personally hurt by B S Yeddyurappa's arrest. What is the reason for this compassion? Are you planning to join hands with BSY,” he questioned.

Objecting to Congress members celebrating B S Yeddyurappa's arrest, Poojary said that he would have not allowed this celebration if he was the KPCC Chief.

Pro-CAA arsonists burn down BSF Jawan’s house, call him ‘Pakistani’

News Network

February 29,2020

New Delhi, Feb 29: The arsonists, who were allegedly hired by the pro-CAA politicians in Delhi to unleash violence against Muslims, did not even spare the residence of Border Security Force personnel Mohammed Anees.

While the jawan, who has spent three years guarding the borders along Jammu and Kashmir, had hoped that his job profile mentioned on the nameplate hung outside their two-storey house would discourage the vandals, he was proved wrong.

The nameplate on house number 76 in Khas Khajuri Gali clearly mentioned it was the property of a security force personnel who protects India’s borders from foreign invasions. Yet, it was burned down on the afternoon of February 25.

First, the ruthless goons set the vehicles parked outside the jawan’s house on fire, then they torched his home. Stones were also pelted at his house amid slogans of “idhar aa Pakistani, tujhe naagarikta dete hai” (Come here Pakistani, get your citizenship).

Apart from Anees, his father Mohammed Moonis, 55, uncle Mohd Ahmed, 59, and 18-year-old cousin Niha Parveen were in the house. Sensing what was about to go down next, they all escaped from the house, and were helped by paramilitary troops.

Charred remains of the house now stand where the house was till three days ago. In the two lanes of Khajuri Khas near Anees’s house, 35 houses were set on fire.

The loss suffered by the BSF soldier’s family was perhaps greater as they had kept all their life’s savings inside: two weddings in the family were to take place in the next three months.

Niha Parveen was to get married in April and Anees himself was to get married the following month. “All the things we collected all our life, jewellery – two gold necklaces, silver jewellery, it is all gone,” the family said.

“We used to buy jewellery on instalments… used to give money every month and collected this jewellery,” they said. Rs 3 lakh in cash for the wedding arrangements also got burnt along with other valuables and all their belongings.

Khajuri Khas is a Hindu-majority area, but Anees’s family says no neighbour of theirs was involved in the attack. “People came from outside.” Instead, their Hindu neighbours were asking the rioters to leave. They requested them to leave and helped douse the vehicles on fire.
