Belagavi, Jan 6: Vishwa Prani Kalyan Mandali, Bengaluru, president Swamy Dayanand said on Saturday that he would file contempt of court petition in the high court against the state government and the Belagavi district administration for allowing mass animal sacrificeon the premises of the Yallamma Devi temple in Kokatnur village of Athani taluk during the annual fair held on December 31.

Swamy said that last year, he had tried to prevent animal sacrifice at the temple but could not do so due to the non-cooperation of local authorities and police.

“I had made proper preparations this year to prevent animal sacrifice by approaching several authorities concerned including the chief secretary, DGP & ADGP Bengaluru, IGP (Northern Range) besides district authorities including DC, SP, local CPI and PSI. Despite orders from top authorities, lower officers ignored them and allowed animal sacrifice,” he said.

He added that according to the Karnataka Prevention of Animal Sacrifice Act-1959 sacrificing animals at any public religious place is prohibited. “It is illegal and attracts punishment up to six months along with a penalty. In 2015, the high court instructed government authorities to hold awareness camps to prevent animal sacrifice in religious events like jatras and congregations. Since the local administration failed to do its duty, I will file a contempt petition,” he said.

“Thousands of animals were sacrificed in front of senior police officials during the fair. Meat was sold at the spot and butchers were openly charging Rs 200 to kill and skin animals on the premises of the temple. Devotees from Maharashtra, Karnataka and Goa too were killing animals. It’s unfortunate that police officials were mute spectators,” Swamy said.

Dear Sir, please approach the court in banning beef exsport by sangh parivar factory owners.   YOu are talking only on animal sacrifice and not on beef export.   None should stop animal sacrifice on religious ground.  Why are you interfering in this matter.   Do you want to stop people from eating chicken, mutton etc.   None should be forced to avoid consuming meat.   NOne is forcing you for this.   As you are against consuming beef, you should ask people to avoid milk also.   Beef is agaisnt your faith and Milk is ok.   Why is this double standard.

Bengaluru, Feb 14: Karnataka Legislative Assembly Speaker Vishvesha Hegde Kageri on Friday announced continuation of ban on private TV channels from live coverage of the Budget Session being held this Month and next month.

Addressing a press conference here, Mr Kageri said that the ban was imposed on the lines of practice in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha in the Parliament. Private channels will not be allowed to cover live on going session instead they will be provided with clippings by the concerned Department as was done during the previous Session.

For the first time in the history the BJP government, which had come to power for the second time in the state last year after pulling down Congress-JDS coalition government, had banned live coverage of the session by private channels and despite Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa's appeal the ban was not lifted.

Bengaluru, Feb 26: The police remand of student activist Amulya Leona Noronha, who was produced before a Magistrate, after a no-show at the Metropolitan Magistrate Court, was extended by 10 more days.

The Fifth Additional Metropolitan Magistrate at the Magistrate's home on Tuesday night had remanded her to police custody for 10 days, less than the 14 days asked for by the Special Investigative Team, considering that she has already spent over four days in judicial custody.

Amulya Noronha, a student of NMKRV College for Women, had raised pro-Pakistan slogans by shouting ''Pakistan Zindabad'' at an anti-CAA protest in Bangalore on 20th February following which the city police filed a case of sedition against her.
