ABKS members end hunger strike for better ESI facilities

October 23, 2011

Mangalore, October 23: The Akhila Bharatha Karmika Sangha members on Saturday withdrew their fast-unto-death agitation, following the assurance from Deputy Speaker in the Legislative Assembly N Yogish Bhat, on the problems in ESI hospital being set right within a month.

ABSK general secretary Sudatta Jain, who had launched the hunger strike on October 18, withdrew the 103-hour-long agitation when Mr Bhat offered him orange juice.

Demands like appointment of doctors, providing infrastructure, provision of check-up facility for ESI card holders at all hospitals, were placed before the officials concerned.

Mr Bhat directed ESI superintendent Dr Ashok Kumar to initiate appropriate measures and set right all the problems. He also questioned why the X-ray machine was out of order, despite being given to the hospital a month ago.

He also directed to put it in running condition within a week. If the facilities are not provided to ESI card holders, the issue will be discussed in the cabinet, he said.

Mr Jain said that if the demands were not fulfilled within a month, they will stage a protest in front of Yogish Bhat's home.

Hindu Mahasabha to clean Freedom Park with 'cow urine' after Amulya’s Pak slogans

News Network

February 22,2020

Bengaluru, Feb 22: The Hindu Mahasabha has decided to carry out a 'cleaning ceremony' by using 'gau-mutra' (cow urine) to purify Freedom Park, where pro-Pakistan slogans were shouted as a protest against the CAA, NRC and NRP.

On Thursday, an 18-year-old girl Amulya Leona hadraised slogans of 'Pakistan Zindabad,' after the organisers of the event under the banner of 'Save Constitution' invited her to address the gathering. AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi soon rushed and tried to snatch away mic from her hand.

Amulya, who was arrested by the police soon after the event on charges of Sedition, was remanded to 14-day judicial custody.

Associates of Amulya insisted that she was trying to make a point that nobody in the anti-CAA rallies would hail a ‘long Live Pakistan’ slogan while they would do so for a ‘Long Live Hindustan’ chant.

“She is not dumb. She knew exactly what she was saying. She had a clear narrative in mind, but was interrupted before she could complete it. Her half-comments are now being taken out of context,” said Sujnan, another student-activist.

“In the end, the campaign is not involved with whatever she said or intended to say. It falls on her to explain herself,” said a protest organiser.
