Udupi, Jun 6: Condemning the arrest of the accused in connection with the alleged murder of an elderly Muslim cattle trader in the district last week, saffron outfits led by Bharatiya Janata Party on Wednesday staged a protest in front of the DC’s office at Manipal, here.

Addressing the protesters, Udupi-Chikkamagaluru MP Sobha Karandlaje held H D Kumaraswamy-led coalition government responsible for the arrests and urged the police not to touch the saffron activists.

“If the Forensic Science Laboratory report confirms that Husainabba died of heart attack, then police cannot treat it as a murder case. Till they get the report, the police shouldn’t have arrested the ‘innocent’ gau rakshaks,” she said.

She went on to claim that the saffron activists never take law into their hands. “The cattle transporters themselves damaged the vehicle and put the blame on gau rakshaks,” she added.

Speaking on the occasion, K Raghupati Bhat, Udupi MLA, hit out at police for giving more importance to the death of a cattle transporter than the death of two cows.

“Two of the 13 cattle being transported by Husainabba and others were found dead. Many people were arrested for the death of Husainabba, but no one was arrested for the death of two cows,” he lamented.

He suggested that Husainabba death case should be handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation, which is under the control of Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led union government.

The police have arrested 10 persons in connection with the attack on cattle transporters near Perdoor in Udupi district that resulted in the death of Husainabba, a resident of Jokatte in Mangaluru. Among the arrested seven VHP-Bajrang Dal chauvinists and three others are their associates in the police department including a sub inspector.

62-year-old Husainabba was reportedly found dead under mysterious circumstances near Perdoor on May 30. During investigation it came to light that he died in police jeep after attack by Bajrang Dal chauvinists.

Bengaluru, Jun 8: Facing a shortage of labour, some top builders in the city have initiated efforts to bring back the migrant workers, who have returned to their native places following the COVID-19 lockdown, and are holding parleys with Railway authorities for operation of special trains to ferry them.

After the lockdown was announced, many construction projects came to a halt and accordingly the labourers were rendered jobless. These migrant workers preferred to go back to their home state as they were not paid when the projects were stopped and were caught in the big financial mess. Many of these migrants even chose to cover thousands of kilometres by foot when even trains, buses or any motor vehicles were not operating.

Keeping their woes in view, the Centre decided to run the Shramik Special trains to ferry them to their native places. But, after they were gone, the builders found themselves in a lurch. An executive of a builder told PTI "Yes, our builder and a few others are in talks with the Railways to run the special train to bring back the labourers." She said nothing has been materialised as of now.

According to her, the builders took the contact numbers of the workers when they left the city to their home states and are now contacting them one by one. The South Western Railway has so far sent 3.11 lakh migrant workers in 216 Shramik Special trains starting from May 3 to June 6.

Bengaluru, Apr 29: Janata Dal-Secular leader and former Karnataka chief minister HD Kumaraswamy on Tuesday accused the central government of writing off loans of those who are facing charges of fraud.

In a series of tweets, Kumaraswamy slammed the central government.

"Really? At a time when the whole world is worried about unprecedented economic emergency, writing off Rs 68,000 crore loans of willful big fish defaulters became the best antidote to the economic crisis? And how is 50k cr package to mutual funds going to help the common man?" he tweeted.

In another tweet, Kumaraswamy said that "Billionaire scamsters like Vijay Mallya, Mehul Choksy, Sanjay Junjunwala seem to be very dear to this government".

"Na khaunga, na khane dunga" is yet another jumla unraveled. Billionaire scamsters like Vijay Malya, Mehul Choksy, Sanjay Junjunwala seem to be very dear to this government. The poor are dying by the roadside, farmers are desperate, the middle class is faced with economic doom.

The government has done little to help. But it writes off loans of those who are facing charges of fraud! What patriotism! What nationalism!" he tweeted.
