State-sponsored terrorism most dangerous: Dr Shridhar

Mangalore, February 27: Using the general assumption that 'all terrorists are Muslims', to achieve their fanatic ends the advocates of 'Hindutva' in this country have resorted to violence and terrorism without any hesitation, said Dr Shridhar, activist and HOD of English, Vijaya College Bangalore.

Speaking on the topic “Terrorism: Myth Exposed”, at a seminar organised at Don Bosco Hall here as part of first ever state level conference of Campus Front of India (CFI) on Sunday, he stated that Hindutva is among those dangerous terrorist ideologies, which do not have any concern for human values.

“In the sense, some terrorist organisations may possess some kind of positive thoughts, but the ultimate aim of 'Hindutva' terrorism is re-establishing the caste based political system in the subcontinent through waging war against democracy”, he said adding that all types of terrorism are condemnable.

Expressing grave concern over the tactics of 'Hindutva' terrorists in India, he said that its elements have succeeded to form a dangerous nexus with some high ranking military officers like Lt. Col. Shrikant Prasad Purohit, and even a 'terrorist state' like Israel.

Dr Shridhar also expressed frustration over the negligence of the Indian government towards the anti-social and illegal activities of the leaders propounding Hindutva, which may lead to destruction. “It is very sad that no one bothered about the attitude of BJP chief Nithin Gadkari, who urged Isreali military and police to provide training to Hindutva activists,” he lamented.

State Terrorism is most dangerous

Dr Shridhar said that there is a common misconception that terrorism is confined only to disgruntled and misled people, while the terrorism being unleashed by rulers of the states and countries on their own people is the most dangerous one.

“No terrorist organisation can beat the cruelty of governments of United States of America and Israel,” he said adding: “However, this state sponsored terrorism has been disguised under various names such as “war on terror” and “fight for democracy”.

Constitution sidelined

Speaking on the topic “Six decades of Indian Democracy”, popular columnist and Human Rights activist Shivasundar said that the successive governments of the country have brushed aside the values of Indian constitution, which upholds equality and Justice.


Indian politicians have well understood how to manipulate the large number of middleclass people and students without fulfilling their needs and rights. “Our rulers have understood that they cannot survive if they face the anger of common people and students and hence they successfully planned to push them into corruption,” he said.

“If the common man of a country fails to question the rulers, there will be no hurdle for the latter to sideline the constitution and act according to their will”, he said.

Activist Pattabhirama Somayaji spoke on “Neoliberal Assault on Education”, while CFI Central Advisory Committee Chairman Anees Ahmed, delivered keynote address on “Where India is heading?”

That is because the e-cigs are much more efficient in keeping the blood nicotine
levels above the threshold that triggers a normal smoker to reach for another cigarette.

This should not be a problem since as longg as they have
a portable charger and access to a regular house outlet they can easily plug it anywhere.
This includes on airplanes, thhe bus, and in restaurants and hospitals.

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Thursday announced that he will convene a high-level meeting in New Delhi with senior leaders — including Rahul Gandhi, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar — to resolve the escalating leadership turmoil in Karnataka and “put an end to the confusion.”

Kharge said the discussions would focus on the way forward for the ruling party, as rumours of a possible leadership change continue to swirl. The speculation has intensified after the Congress government crossed the halfway mark of its five-year term on November 20, reviving talk of an alleged 2023 “power-sharing agreement” between Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar.

“After reaching Delhi, I will call three or four important leaders and hold discussions. Once we talk, we will decide how to move ahead and end this confusion,” Kharge told reporters in Bengaluru, according to PTI.

When asked specifically about calling Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar to Delhi, he responded: “Certainly, we should call them. We will discuss with them and settle the issue.”

He confirmed that Rahul Gandhi, the Chief Minister, the Deputy Chief Minister and other senior members would be part of the deliberations. “After discussing with everyone, a decision will be made,” he said.

Meanwhile, Siddaramaiah held a separate strategy meeting at his Bengaluru residence with ministers and leaders seen as his close confidants, including G. Parameshwara, Satish Jarkiholi, H.C. Mahadevappa, K. Venkatesh and K.N. Rajanna.
Signalling calm, the Chief Minister told reporters, “Will go to Delhi if the high command calls.”

Shivakumar echoed a similar stance, saying he too would head to the national capital if summoned by the party leadership.

Mangaluru, Dec 3: A group of Congress workers gathered at the Mangaluru International Airport on Wednesday to welcome AICC general secretary K C Venugopal, but the reception quickly turned into a display of support for Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar.

Venugopal arrived in the city to participate in the centenary commemoration of the historic dialogue between Mahatma Gandhi and Narayana Guru. The event, organised by the Sivagiri Mutt, Varkala, in association with the Mangalore University Sri Narayana Guru Study Chair, is being held on the university’s Konaje campus.

KPCC general secretary Mithun Rai and several party workers had assembled at the airport to receive Venugopal. However, the moment he stepped out, workers began raising slogans backing Shivakumar.

The university programme will be inaugurated by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.

This show of support comes just a day after Siddaramaiah remarked that Shivakumar would lead the government “when the high command decides.” The chief minister made the comment after a breakfast meeting at Shivakumar’s residence—another public display of camaraderie between the two leaders amid ongoing attempts by the party high command to downplay their leadership rivalry.

Mangaluru, Nov 28: Karnataka Health Minister and Dakshina Kannada district in-charge minister Dinesh Gundu Rao on Friday handed over Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, highlighting the severe distress faced by farmers due to crashing crop prices.

PM Modi arrived at the Mangaluru International Airport en route to Udupi, where Gundu Rao welcomed him and submitted the letter. The chief minister’s message stressed that farmers are suffering heavy losses because maize and green gram are being bought far below the Minimum Support Price (MSP). The state urged the Centre to immediately begin procurement at MSP.

According to the letter, Karnataka has a bumper harvest this year—over 54.74 lakh metric tons of maize and 1.98 lakh metric tons of green gram—yet farmers are unable to secure fair prices. Against the MSP of ₹2,400/MT for maize and ₹8,768/MT for green gram, market rates have plunged to ₹1,600–₹1,800 and ₹5,400 respectively.

The chief minister has requested the Centre to:

• Direct NAFED, FCI and NCCF to start MSP procurement immediately.
• Ensure ethanol units purchase maize directly from farmers or FPOs.
• Increase Karnataka’s ethanol allocation, citing high production capacity.
• Stop maize imports, which have depressed domestic prices.
• Relax quality norms for green gram, allowing up to 10% discoloration due to rains.

The letter stresses that MSP is crucial for farmer dignity and income stability and calls for swift central intervention to prevent a deepening crisis.
