Mangaluru, Jun 29: The Hindutva hardliners have upped the ante against Sri Vishwesha Teertha, the chief pontiff of Paryaya Pejawar Mutt for hosting an iftar meet at Krishna temple during Ramadan and promoting communal harmony.

In a joint press meet on Thursday Sri Ram  Sena and Hindu Maha Sabha accused the senior pontiff of betraying Hindu activists fighting for Hindutva by feeding Muslims in Krishna Temple and allowing them to offer namaz.

They have demanded the Seer to step down from the Paryaya peetha and hand over power to his next successor. "Age is catching up with the Seer. It's high time for him to retire. He should seek apology with Hindus for his act," they demanded. "This is a political gimmick as elections are round the corner," alleged Praveen Walke, state general secretary of the Sene.

Walke pointed out they are not against Muslim community, but organsing an Iftar get-together without consulting any Hindu leader has hurt their sentiments. "If the seer started organising Iftar decades ago, there wouldn't have communal disharmony among Hindus and Muslims. After the Ram Mandir and Babri Masjid issue, there is a misunderstanding between both the communities," noted Walke.

They also demanded similar gesture from Muslims to foster amity by allowing them inside Mosque for chanting bhajans and insisted Pejwar seer should arrange for it.

Walke termed that seers and religious leaders were responsible for destroying the future young Hindu youths in the name of Hinduism.

Pointing out at the recent Kalladka violence, they said this is the outcome of how Hindu youths are used by religious leaders. Dharmendra, state spokesperson of Hindu Maha Sabha alleged that Iftar inside temple is to score brownie points politically. He said that five years ago when Congress leader Janardhan Poojary celebrated Iftar in Kudroli Temple, BJP condemned and protested but there was silence this time.

Sri Rama Sene will hold protest condemning Sri Vishvesha Teertha organising Iftar in temple, on July 2.

Mangaluru, Apr 26: In the wake of the fears among local people regarding the cremation of coronavirus victims, an understanding has been reached with all stakeholders that the Mangaluru city corporation's crematorium here will be the official funeral site for such cases in future.

Mangaluru South MLA D Vedavyas Kamath, who had to face stinging criticism on social media for his alleged support to local people who stopped the cremation of a COVID- 19 victim at Pachanady near here on Thursday, took an active role in finding the solution.

The body of the victim, a woman, had to be taken from Pachanady to Kaikunje during the night, delaying the funeral by hours.

Kamath visited Boloor on Saturday and sought to convince the people that cremating the bodies of coronavirus victims would not endanger their lives in any way as the guidelines of WHO and union health ministry are being strictly followed.

The crematorium at Boloor is run by the MCC and has an electric furnace and firewood pyres.

Kamath said a tacit understanding that final rites of COVID-19 patients inDakshina Kannada will be performed at Boloor has been reached at a meeting with all stakeholders.

Cremating bodies in such a controlled environment is deemed safe as per guidelines, he said.

City Mayor Diwakar, local corporator Jagadish Shetty and MCC assistant commissioner Madan Mohan took part in the meeting.

The decision was conveyed to the DK district administration.

The district administration has also launched a campaign on dead body management protocol to convince the people to ignore misinformation being spread regarding the cremation of coronavirus victims.

Bantwal, Jun 26: A day after expressing gratitude for the overwhelming response from students for the SSLC examinations, Karnataka Minister for Primary and Secondary Education S Suresh Kumar on Friday took to Twitter to laud a student who didn’t let his physical hurdles deter him from writing the examination.

Sharing image of the student, Kaushik, who wrote the SSLC examination at Bantwal’s SVS High School, the Minister said that he was taken aback by the boy’s spirit for writing the exam independently without relying on anyone’s help. Such individuals give new meaning to life. Others should learn from this.

In the picture, Kaushik is seen seated on the floor and using his toes to write answers.
