Mangaluru, Aug 31: A group of right-wing students in Dr K Shivarama Karantha Govt First Grade College located in Peruvaje Bellare of Sullia taluk in coastal Karnataka have launched a bizarre protest to exert pressure on the principal to impose ban on girls' hijab (a dress covering entire body except face and hands) inside college.

The anti-hijab agitators of the college, who apparently vow loyalty to hard-line Hindutva groups, have started wearing saffron shawl over their shirts in classroom. They are also encouraging all Hindu male students to wear saffron shawls. However, most of the Hindu students have refused to join the saffron agitation.

When the principal and a few lecturers took the agitators to task for dressing and behaving like Bajrang Dal activists inside classroom, they replied that they would stop wearing saffron shawls only if the college imposes ban on hijab inside the college.

The development has triggered a debate on social media and the photos of saffron clad students are going viral on WhatsApp and Facebook. While Hindutva groups have backed the agitators, others have criticized them.

“Hijab is a religious obligation to Muslims. Muslim girls hesitate to show any part of their body except hands and face. Demanding ban on hijab is an act of intolerance,” commented one Sindhu on Facebook.

“Interestingly, only a few male students with poor academic record, are raising voice against those girls who cover their body fully. Their attitude clearly shows that they lack manners and common sense,” said Firdous, a farmer student of the same college on WhatsApp group.

Chetan Sharma, another alumnus of the college, who is also a member of ABVP, replied: “Let them wear hijab in their mosques and madrasas, but not in government colleges, where people belonging to different faiths study. Muslim boys and girls should learn to be like all other human beings.”

Ruksana (name changed), a Muslim student of the college, responding to the development said: “We are not wearing black burkha inside the classroom. Some of us wear head-scarfs and cover the body properly. We don't have any problem if they (students having links with Hindutva groups) wearing saffron shawls. It's their wish.”

Another Muslim girl said that some of the ABVP activists keep taunting Muslim girls in college for wearing hijab. “Their intention is to insult Muslim girls. But, they are insulting Sita Mata and mother Mary too because, they also used to cover their body fully unlike western women,” she said.

Meanwhile, Chandrashekhar Kanthamagala, the principal of the college has decided to convene a meeting of parents of the students before taking any demission.

Clearly We see Cheddis Mind washed these students since childhood....
God prescribed that women should Cover.
it is your ignorant that U guys are mind washed and following the devils scripture thru cheddi ideology...
if we see the cheddis main prayer in the morning is jai KALI...
please understand that the KALI is not God
There is no image of God - Na tasya pratima asti...
There is devil n this world which God created, and those who follow him and never repent will end up in Fire... So recognise this ... To recognise the devils U need to learn what does God wants us human being to do.
To know that, U need to study Who is God. to know who is God ... U need to be honest and look in all religious scripture on what does God says...
If U r really honest... U will see his signs in your life that's the best blessing one can have in LIfe.. Its not required to be sanyasi or moulave... just look for God.

About one dozen boys wearing saffron shawl. That means 99% of the Hindu boys are in the school against these act. So nothing to worry let them wear; because it shows RSS backed students are only 1 percent in the school.

The constitution of India, guarantees right to practice the religion.
This is the right of Muslims girls and women to wear their religiously bound dress code. If you Safrons like the Hijab wear it. It is up to you.

Are you blind, see your own films shown in theatres of Mangalore.
You pay and watch the nudy, romantic films with your family members. Then where is your Samskara. If you are brave and real Hindus, go and stop such films at least in your area.

In an intriguing turn of events, authorities have levied a fine against an actress for breaching traffic regulations depicted within a television serial.

In the 14th episode of the popular serial ‘Seetha Raama’ a Kannada language drama series airing on Zee Kannada, a scene featuring two individuals riding a scooter caught the attention of viewers. While the rider adhered to safety protocols by wearing a helmet, the actress on the pillion did not.

Jayaprakash Yekkur, a vigilant resident of Mangaluru, took swift notice of this discrepancy and promptly lodged a complaint with the Mangaluru City Police Commissioner. Yekkur underscored the concern that such portrayals of traffic violations by actors and actresses could potentially convey misleading messages to viewers, particularly those who are impressionable. He urged authorities to take decisive legal action against the actress, the serial’s director, and the broadcasting channel.

In response to Yekkur’s complaint, the Commissioner of Police forwarded the matter to the Mangaluru Traffic Police station. Subsequently, notices were issued to the owner of the two-wheeler featured in the scene and the serial’s director. Upon investigation, it was revealed that the scene had been filmed in Nandini Layout, Bengaluru, and was referred to the Rajajinagar police station for further scrutiny.

On May 10, after thorough inquiries, the Rajajinagar police station imposed a fine of Rs 500 on both the actress and the owner of the two-wheeler. Furthermore, the production manager of the serial committed to adhering strictly to traffic regulations in future episodes.

Expressing his contentment with the resolution, Jayaprakash Yekkur commented that the prompt response from the police, coupled with the imposition of a fine, serves as a valuable lesson and contributes significantly to enhancing public awareness.

devarajegowda.jpg

A day after National Commission for Women said no woman from Hassan approached the national body to file complaints against Karnataka MP Prajwal Revanna, a new FIR accusing BJP leader Devaraje Gowda of abusing and assaulting a woman has come to light.

The FIR against Gowda was filed by a woman at the Holenarasipura town police station on April 1, after her husband had filed a complaint against the BJP leader on March 30. 

The purported victim's husband has alleged in his plaint that Gowda barged into their home, and threatened the couple while the BJP leader also abused the woman.

Gowda, notably, flagged Prajwal Revanna's case to the saffron party.

Reacting to the allegations levelled against him, the BJP politico posted a video on Facebook where he details how he met the woman and her husband in his office. He also claims that the allegations against him are a plot and false.

It must be noted here that a Special Investigation Team is currently probing the sexual assault cases against Prajwal Revanna who along with his driver Karthik is no longer in the country. A Blue Corner notice is also in place to apprehend the son of H D Revanna who himself is placed under judicial custody till May 14.

In a major twist to the entire case— the woman in the FIR alleged that Devaraje Gowda who apprised BJP of the sex videos involving Prajwal Revanna— has been harassing her for the past 10 months under the guise of helping her sell a property.

The woman also said that she came in contact with Gowda during the process involving the property that she wanted to sell. However, on the pretext of guiding her, the woman alleged that the whistleblower BJP leader physically assaulted and harassed her while Gowda also threatened the couple.

The woman has now sought police protection for herself and family. Further levelling allegations against Gowda in her plaint, she said that the politico had taken her to an isolated place where he assaulted her and threatened to kill the couple.

Former chief minister of Karnataka and Prajwal Revanna's uncle H D Kumaraswamy recently demanded a CBI probe in the Prajwal Revanna matter. However, Home Minister G Parameshwara turned down the demand for the investigation to be handed over to CBI.

Bengaluru: Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar and other state ministers on Saturday rubbished allegations about their role in the circulation of pen drives containing explicit videos involving Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna.

BJP leader and advocate G Devaraje Gowda, who is in custody after being arrested in a sexual abuse case and is also facing charges of video leak, on Friday alleged that Shivakumar and four other ministers are behind the circulation of the pen drives and was being fixed in false cases as he did not agree to be part of their plan.

He has even alleged that he was offered Rs 100 crore by Shivakumar to "bring a bad name" to the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and to tarnish the image of JD(S) leader H D Kumaraswamy in Prajwal Revanna's obscene video case.

Speaking to reporters here, Shivakumar said, "Better, let him (Gowda) file a case before Lokayukta or any other agency. I think he has some problems mentally. I'm very sorry, the national and state media shouldn't have picked up such baseless allegations. A person who is in jail, how can he make such allegations? All these are baseless. I don't want to comment." 

Asked if he will be filing any defamation case against Gowda, he said, "I don't want to make any comment or speak on a person who is mentally sick. I appeal to his party people to get him a good treatment." Shivakumar also asserted that his government's commitment to get justice for women victims of the sexual abuse case, and expressed confidence about the Special Investigation Team's (SIT) ongoing probe.

While being taken from court in Hassan, Gowda on Friday spoke to media and alleged that Shivakumar is behind pen drive case, and a team of four Ministers -- N Chaluvarayaswamy, Krishna Byre Gowda, Priyank Kharge and another minister -- was formed to handle this, with an intention to bring bad name to BJP, PM Modi and Kumaraswamy.

He said Shivakumar had asked him to say that Kumaraswamy is behind the distribution of pen drives, but as he did not agree to it, he is being fixed in false cases.

Minister Priyank Kharge said Gowda has alleged that three responsible ministers in the state government were part of a team and that there was a conspiracy. "We will discuss whatever legal course, we will take it." 

"Devaraje Gowda might be doing this to defame Shivakumar and Siddaramaiah. If he had a Rs 100 crore offer, he should have told Amit Shah (Union Home Minister) and get it investigated. He could have got CBI, ED, or IT raids done. Why didn't he do it? Claims have been made that he (Gowda) was sent Rs 5 crore as advance at a club, let them get CCTV footage and see who were all there," Kharge said.

While speaking to reporters here, he further said Gowda is a lawyer. When he was deposed before the Judge he should have told about the documents he has and should have presented to the court.

Minister Chaluvarayaswamy said allegations about the role of Shivakumar and a team of ministers being formed to oversee the circulation of pen drives are 'baseless', and he questioned Gowda's morality to make such accusations.

"If Gowda proves that Chaluvarayaswamy, Priyank Kharge and Krishna Byre Gowda had held a meeting on this case and we as a team were given responsibility and we were involved in this case, I will apologise," he said and alleged that Gowda was being used to mislead and deviate from the main case of sexual abuse.
