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?”

Yet another substantial result associated with the research indicated that thhe label applied to the product packaging or cartridges marked as 'Comprising No Nicotine' in reality has
nicotine. Each cartomizer usually lasts as long as a
full pack of cigarettes, and many come 5 to a pacxk for less than $13.

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.

The Karnataka government has announced a 50% rebate on pending traffic and transport fines. The discount is available from November 21 to December 12.

The rebate applies to all traffic e-challans and violation cases booked by the RTO between 1991–92 and 2019–20. Officials clarified that the offer is not applicable to pending tax dues and is restricted only to traffic-violation fines.

Across Karnataka, more than 4 lakh RTO cases remain pending, including those involving transport vehicles. While thousands of vehicle owners have already cleared their dues, the department expects to generate substantial revenue through this limited-period rebate.

How to Pay and Avail the Discount

There are three ways to check and pay your pending fines:

1. Through Mobile Apps
Available on both Play Store and App Store:
•    Karnataka State Police (KSP) app
•    KarnatakaOne app
•    ASTraM app

Steps:
•    Enter your vehicle number in any of the above apps
•    Verify the photo/details of your vehicle
•    Pay the fine with the 50% discount applied

2. Visit a Traffic Police Station

You can pay your pending fine at any nearby traffic police station.

3. Visit the Traffic Management Centre (TMC)

•    Location: First Floor, Infantry Road, near Indian Express, Bengaluru

Transport Commissioner Yogeesh A M said, “We don't issue e-challans, so there's no online payment system.”

The department estimates ₹52 crore in pending RTO fines up to March 2020. “With the 50% rebate, we expect to collect around ₹25 crore if all dues are cleared,” he added.

Mangaluru, Nov 26: Mangaluru East police have registered a case following a sophisticated online fraud where a 57-year-old local resident was allegedly cheated out of ₹13.4 lakh after being targeted on Facebook.

The scam began in February when the complainant, while browsing Facebook reels, was contacted by a woman identifying herself as "Lillian Mary George" from London. After establishing a chat relationship, the woman claimed she would visit India in November and bring a significant sum of money.

The trap was sprung on November 15, when the victim received a call from a woman named "Sonali Gupta," who claimed Lillian had arrived at Mumbai International Airport but was detained by customs. The fraudsters convinced the man that Lillian was carrying £25,000 (about ₹26 lakh) in traveller’s cheques and 1 kg of gold (valued at around ₹30 lakh).

Under the pretense of clearing these items, the victim was asked to make numerous online transfers between November 15 and 18 for various bogus charges, including:

•    "Pounds exchange registration"
•    "Customs declaration issues"
•    "Discount charges"
•    "Money-laundering charges"

Believing the fictitious story, the complainant transferred the cumulative sum of ₹13.4 lakh to various bank accounts provided by the fraudsters. He realised he was cheated when the culprits later promised a refund within two days but stopped answering his calls. The Mangaluru East police are now investigating the case, which highlights the continuing threat of transnational cyber fraud using social engineering and promises of fictitious wealth.

A Remarkable Journey to the Top

•    Out of eight players from Karnataka who advanced to the national selection camp in Pune, Maharashtra, Shagun was the only one to secure a place in the final national squad.

•    The national camp saw participation from approximately 200 players, which was shortlisted to 23. Shagun not only made the final cut but was also ranked as the second-best player overall, solidifying her leadership role.

Shagun, who is the daughter of Sandesh Verma and Shruthiraj of Kallotte, Karkala, has trained under experienced coaches Santosh D’Souza, Jeevan D’Silva, Jairaj Poojary, and Ramesh. Her selection as the team captain has brought profound honour to her family, school, the Udupi district, and the entire state of Karnataka.
