With polls around, Siddaramaiah has now realised he is a Hindu: Shettar

Hubballi, Jul 17: Senior BJP leader Jagadish Shettar on Sunday said that with Assembly elections round the corner, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has now realised that he is a Hindu.Shettar

Reacting to a statement made by the chief minister at a rally in Mysuru on Saturday that he too is a Hindu, Shettar said that for first time Siddaramaiah has realised that he is a Hindu. All these days, he claimed to be a member of Ahinda (Kannada acronym for minorities, backward classes and Dalits). As he could not do much for the backward communities during his tenure, he is now claiming to be a Hindu. The assertion is just the vote bank politics of Congress leaders, whereas BJP leaders say it with pride that they are Hindus, he said.

When asked why BJP leaders are ‘instigating’ communal violence in Dakshina Kannada by making provocative statements, Shettar, who is the Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Assembly, said BJP leaders are not instigating people but only outpouring their emotions.

“What can one do when the Congress government is hell bent on arresting Hindu workers for political reasons,” he asked and added that the government wants to instil fear in RSS/BJP workers by slapping false cases against them or allowing miscreants to murder Hindu workers.

Answering a question on the special treatment in jails for some convicts, Shettar said that there is a need for judicial enquiry into the issue to bring out the truth. “Every day reports on the situation in jails are presenting a sorry picture of our police system. Finding drugs, alcohol and other banned substances in jails, along with special treatment to convicts, shows that something is not right in prisons. This situation is not just limited to Bengaluru Central Prison at Parappana Agrahara but is prevalent in all the jails across the state,” he said.

The former chief minister said only a judicial enquiry could throw light on the issue and, strict action must be taken against all those involved in irregularities.

“Issuing of notice to Deputy Inspector General of Police (Prisons) D Roopa shows the Congress’ mindset of harassing honest officials and protecting criminals,” he said.

Mangaluru, Mar 29: The state government has lifted the restrictions on the movement of chicken and eggs, thus ensuring the availability of protein-based nutrition to consumers.

Due to the 21-day lockdown in the State, police and other regulatory authorities were not allowing movement of poultry products, which not only had affected the entire poultry sector but also the consumers. The Karnataka Poultry Farmers and Breeders Association (KPFBA) had made a representation to the government to lift the restrictions.

The Secretary of Animal Husbandry and Fisheries, A B Ibrahim in a circular dated March 27, 2020 night , said that the minimal husbandry sector came under essential services and is given exemption during the lockdown period. He cited the letter which provides for the exemption, issued by the Government of India Home Secretary and the Union Joint Secretary of Animal Husbandry and Dairying.

Mysuru, Feb 26: The Pre-University Education Department was taking several measures to prevent paper leaks during the II PU examinations, scheduled to commence from March 4, a statement said on Tuesday.

Among the few measures that the board has chalked out, students would not be allowed to leave the examination hall till the last bell. In case of any emergency, the student could leave the exam hall but s/he would be required to surrender the question paper to authorities in the hall.

This is being done to ensure question papers aren’t circulated during exam hours by those who exit the hall before the last bell.

Dammam, May 29: A woman hailing from Mangaluru, who was waiting for repatriation amidst coronavirus lockdown in Saudi Arabia, passed away yesterday after a brief illness.

The deceased has been identified as Lateefa (55), wife of Abdul Azeez, a resident of Angaragundi near Baikampady on the outskirts of the city.

She had flown to Saudi Arabia in November 2019 along with her husband to spend some time with their NRI son in Dammam. They were supposed to return in April this year.

After the sudden cancellation of regular flights due to lockdown, they were waiting for the repatriation flights from Dammam to Mangaluru or Bengaluru.

Meanwhile, Lateefa’s health condition worsened and she was hospitalised. She passed away on Thursday without responding to any treatment. Last rites are expected to take place in Dammam.
