Mangaluru, May 15: U T Khader, who was the Minister for Food and Civil Supplies in outgoing government, has created a new history in Mangaluru (erstwhile Ullal) constituency by registering fourth consecutive victory in 2018 assembly polls.

Mr. Khader is son of the former Congress MLA late U.T. Fareed who had been elected from the constituency in 1972, 1978, 1999 and 2004. Mr. Khader entered Assembly for the first time by winning the by-election in 2007 following the death of his father. He was re-elected in 2008 and 2013 assembly polls defeating BJP candidate Chandrashekar Uchil.

This time Mr Khader defeated his closed rival Santosh Rai Boliyar of BJP by a margin of over 15 thousand votes. JD(S) candidate K Ashraf, who had vowed to take revenge against Mr Khader bagged only around 2 thousand votes. All India Mahila Empowerment Party candidate Usman received a few hundred votes.

More details are awaited.

New Delhi, Jul 21: A 42-year-old contractual doctor, who was working with Delhi government's National Health Mission, passed away yesterday due to covid-19.

Dr Javed Ali had been on the frontline in the fight against the highly contagious illness since March. He tested positive for coronavirus on June 24 and was hospitalised for treatment over the next three weeks.

For the last 10 days, he was on a ventilator. Yesterday morning, Dr Ali breathed his last at the AIIMS trauma centre. He is survived by his wife and two children - a six-year-old son and a 12-year-old daughter.

"I am proud of my husband. He kept working till the end and he is a martyr. He did not take even one day off since March. He worked even on Eid," Dr Heena Kausar, his wife, told media persons.

The cost for the initial treatment at the private hospital was also borne by the family. "No treatment cost was covered when he was at a private hospital initially. We spent around Rs 6 lakh from our own pockets," she said.

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.
