VHP to discuss CAA, Ram Mandir at 3-day-meet in Mangaluru

Mangaluru, Dec 27: The Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) will discuss the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and construction of Ram Mandir at Ayodhya at its three day conclave in this Karnataka port city beginning on Friday.

The meeting of the right wing Hindu group’s 'Prabandh Samiti' as well as its 'Pravasi Mandal baithak' come ahead of the crucial meeting of its Margdarshak Mandal at Uttar Pradesh’s Prayagraj on January 20.

According to a statement by the VHP, "the act that the central government has brought in is giving justice to millions of Hindus with whom historical wrong was done at the time of partition. So being a Hindu organisation, Vishva Hindu Parishad will do everything in its power, so that these Hindus receive citizenship.

Secondly lot of wrong and false misinformation have been spread about CAA". The VHP also said it will hold “awareness programmes on the positive aspect of the CAA”.

It said that there is “no discrimination in CAA as it deals with the minorities that have been tortured in the three Islamic countries of Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan”. “Muslims are not minorities in Islamic country. There is no discrimination against them. This act does not deal with Indian Muslims at all.

It deals with only the minority refugees, Hindu Jain, Buddh, Sikh and Christians who have come to India seeking shelter because of the religious persecution that they faced in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh,” said the statement issued by VHP Secretary General Milind Parande.

The VHP will also discuss the formation of the trust in connection with the construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya. “So it is the Hindu expectation that according to the instructions of the Supreme Court, the Central government will form a system, may be a board or trust or whatever, that will take into consideration the Hindu feelings. It should be an independent system.

The temple should not be built by the government, but by the society’s money,” it said. The VHP emphasised that the temple should be built according to the model that was popularised during the Ram Janmabhoomi agitation and with the sculpted stones available in Ayodhya. The VHP meet will also take up women security issues.”

Because of lack of Hindu sanskars, many women are facing insults throughout the country. So, Vishva Hindu Parishad will be taking up a task about how to improve Hindu sanskars, how to re-establish Hindu values into the society, so that women will be respected and treated with respect in every walk of life,” it said.

Organisational issues will also figure at the meeting expected to be attended by over 300 activists. A three-day baithak organized with as many as 300 workers from across the country are expected to attend the “Prabandh Samiti” as well as its “Pravasi Mandal baithak”.

Bengaluru, Aug 4: With preparations underway for conducting exams for the final semester/ year students in the state, Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister Dr CN Ashwathnarayan on Monday directed the respective universities to conduct exams for the backlog papers as well.

"In the wake of COVID-19, it has been decided to hold exams only for the students of final semester/year courses. It has come to our notice that some universities have decided against conducting exams for final year students who have a backlog to clear from previous semesters. This is unpardonable," the Deputy Chief Minister said.

"Our intention is to see that the final year students finish their course. In the present situation, conducting only final semester exams won't help. We have to help the students in clearing their backlogs," added Ashwathnarayan, directing all universities to compulsorily conduct these exams.

Meanwhile, Ashwathnarayan thanked the staff and officials of various government departments who were responsible for successfully conducting the CET exams even amidst the difficult situation in the wake of COVID-19 pandemic.

"In all, 1,94,419 students had registered for the CET exams, of which 1,75,428 wrote the exams. The percentage of students who took up the exams this year was equivalent to that of the previous years, in normal times," the DCM informed.

"After we successfully conducted the exams, Arunachal Pradesh is going to conduct the Public Service Commission exams on the lines of how we successfully conducted the exams. Likewise, even our KPSC has said it will conduct the exams. We must appreciate the good work of the Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA), which has set an example for others," Ashwathnarayan said.

The deputy chief minister said that 33 colleges in various districts across the state faced shortage of land and that it is the responsibility of the District Commissioners (DCs) to get the lands sanctioned for all these colleges.
In Bagalkot district alone land has not been sanctioned for six degree colleges, he said.

Reacting to this, Bagalkot DC Captain Rajendra assured to look into the matter as soon as he receives the proposal from department officials.

"Similarly, there is shortage of land for five Diploma colleges and 28 ITI colleges in different parts of the state. The DCs must immediately pay attention to this. Once they get the land, buildings will come up within no time," the Karnataka deputy chief minister said.

Bengaluru, Apr 11: The coronavirus-driven lockdown will continue for another 15 days, but relaxations will be allowed in a graded manner, Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa said after a four-hour-long video conference with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday.

“Agriculture and industrial sectors will be given relaxation. Government offices will be allowed to work with partial strength. But the PM said detailed guidelines will be issued in two days,” Yediyurappa said, briefing reporters. 

“Importantly, the lockdown for the next two weeks will be different than how it was in the past three weeks. The Centre, keeping in mind economic activities, especially agriculture, industry and employment of labourers, the Centre will tell us what needs to be done,” the CM said.
 
According to Yediyurappa, PM Modi told all chief ministers that the next 2-3 weeks will be critical. “The next few weeks will decide whether or not we have succeeded. If the situation worsens, we have to face the crisis,” Yediyurappa said, quoting Modi. 

Apparently, Modi sought details on the COVID-19 situation from 12-13 states where the situation is grave. “He did not take a report from Karnataka,” Yediyurappa said. “This morning, seven new cases were reported in the state, taking our tally to 214. Nationally, we were in the third place; we’re now 11th,” he said, hailing the efforts of officials involved in fighting the pandemic. 

The CM said it was “inevitable” to continue the lockdown for another 15 days. “But for citizens to get essential supplies, there’s no bar on them going by walk alone. Also, we will see to it that agricultural activities are not affected anywhere,” Yediyurappa said.

Bengaluru, Jun 29: A 99-year-old woman has successfully recovered from coronavirus in Bengaluru, leaving the medical fraternity and her family elated.

The woman had contracted the pathogen after coming in contact with her grandson and was hospitalised on her 99th birthday on June 18.

The woman was taken to the government Victoria Hospital along with her 70-year-old son, daughter-in-law and grandson.

"While we three developed symptoms like cold, cough and fever, my mother remained asymptomatic," the woman's son said.

The family members are still wondering how they got infected by the virus as all except the woman's grandson, were confined to their home most of the time.

Her 29-year-old grandson was the only one who went out to buy groceries.

Initially, the family approached a private hospital nearby for treatment, but they refused to accept COVID-19 patients.

Left with no option, the family got admitted to the Victoria hospital.

"We had reservations about Victoria hospital, but it turned out be a good one.

We did not spend a penny since the day we were admitted and my mother and son fully recovered," the woman's son said.

According to Dr Asima Banu, nodal officer of the Trauma Care Centre at the Victoria hospital, the woman was reluctant to get treatment at the hospital.

"With moral support from doctors and nurses at the Trauma Care Centre, she recovered very fast. She is always positive in life," the doctor said.
