Mangalore, October 30: Congress leader B Janardhan Poojary on Sunday exhorted his party leaders and workers not to stage black-flag protest against BJP leader L K Advani's Jan Chetana Yatra, which is supposed to roll into city on Monday.

He was speaking at the assessment meet organised at Kanthi Church Hall, here, under the aegis of Mangalore South Block Congress Committee under the guidance of Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee to discuss the upcoming interactive meet with voters.

Mr Poojary said that a black flag welcome to the octogenarian BJP leader, would only lead to excessive publicity to the controversial Rath Yatra. “Congress activists need not to go behind bars by protesting against this Yatra,” he added.

Ivan quits party post

Ironically, the meeting which was supposed to strengthen the bond between congress leaders and workers, turned bitter, when Mr Poojary suddenly lashed out at KPCC secretary Ivan D'Souza, who is also holding the post of DKCC vice-president.

He said that the newcomers to the part should work hard and prove their proficiency rather than aspiring for any posts. “Ivan D'Souza, who is simultaneously holding three posts in the party including the post of election officer, should immediately quit from the post of DCC vice-president and pave the way for senior workers”, he demanded.

In his response to 74 year old former union minister, Mr D'Souza said that he had been elevated to the post of KPCC secretary a few months ago without any pressure or demand. “I need not to resign formally to the DCC vice president post, as it certainly becomes vacant, while I assume the new post,” he said.

He also clarified that he would not like to continue in the post of DCC vice president.

Mr D'Souza also expressed unhappy over the way in which Mr Poojary criticised him in front of party workers. “If he wanted to advise me he could have personally contacted me anytime anywhere as I am always available for him,” he said.

He also exhorted the party workers to think why did Mr Poojary take such an extreme step.

Bengaluru, Jan 18: The Karnataka state government has reportedly initiated the process to ban organizations like Popular Front of India (PFI).

State Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Friday evening said that instructions have been given to the police and officers concerned to gather information about the activities of such organisations so that necessary inputs can be sent to the Center.

He made it clear that the action would not be limited against PFI and SDFI (Social Democratic Front of India), rather any organisation which is involved in such activities, would meet the same fate.

Mangaluru, May 23: In order to ensure that students do not miss out on their studies due to educational institutions being shut owing to the coronavirus lockdown, Dakshina Kannada Pre-university College Principles Association (DKPUCPA) is conducting online classes on YouTube for pre-university students.

The online lessons are shot by lecturers at St Aloysius College and the lectures are then uploaded on YouTube enabling students to watch them online.

"The whole world is currently in a crucial situation because of COVID-19, and because of the lockdown, all are forced to stay indoors. Usually, we used to conduct lectures in a class full of students, but now it is a new experience that we are providing the same information to students in their absence," Rajaram Rao, a lecturer said while speaking to news agency.

He said at present these classes are being conducted for second year pre-university students.

If any student has a doubt on any concept, he said they can contact the teachers. "At present, students also are getting information about the teachers who have uploaded the videos. All the information about the teachers is already being uploaded on the system so that they can contact the teacher," he said.

Dhanya, a student, hailed the DKPUCPA for the setting up of the online classes despite the prevailing situation.

"The teachers who have taught in these classes have taught very well, as if they are teaching right in front of us. It has been very useful for me during this time," she said.

The nationwide lockdown imposed to combat the threat posed by the coronavirus pandemic has been extended to May 31.
