Protest or celebration? Hindutva agitators dance as RSS activist battles for life

Mangaluru, Jul 7: The saffron activists not only violated the prohibitory orders and stage a ‘protest’ at BC Road in Bantwal taluk on Friday but also lifted RSS veteran Prabhakar Bhat Kalladka up, raised victory slogans and danced on the road.

In fact, the protest was organised by the Hindu Hitarakshana Vedike in the wake of recent murder attempt on an RSS activist in BC Road. 28-year-old Sharat, who was brutally stabbed by the anti-social elements last Tuesday, is still in a critical condition.

However, the bizarre attitude of the protesters who lifted Mr Bhat, danced and waved victory sign while many BJP leaders including Udupi MP Shobha Karandlaje and Dakshina Kannada MP Nalin Kumar Kateel courted arrest, created an awkward atmosphere.

As soon as the photos and videos of the so called protest went viral on social media, the trollers started making fun of the agitators. While some questioned whether the saffron activists were celebrating the cowardly attack on RSS activist, others slammed them for “disrespecting” the victim.

“Anti-social elements brutally stabbed an RSS activist in BC Road. A Muslim man shifted him to hospital while saffron activists hesitated to touch the victim. Now, the same saffron activists are dancing. What a shame!” wrote a local resident on her Facebook wall.

“Sharat’s condition is worsening in hospital. His family is shell-shocked. Unfortunately, those who organised protest in his name are celebrating,” lamented another local resident.

Ban PFI ? Is it a solution? They are lakhs of PFI members in Karnataka alone leave alone India.

They will join or make a new group or name.

Provocative speech by RSS leaders, Gou BD lynchers , arms carrying terrorist camp organiser Sri ram sena . If the police and the political camps had taken care of them long time ago , our beautiful Mangalore would remain peaceful.

Lack of political will from Congress banning and barring hateful speech is the main cause. Don't let Karnataka turn into hinduvta laboratory.

Take care of RSS, PFI also will disappear.

Sharjah, UAE: Ayisha Basheer Esra, a talented young writer hailing from Aramboor in Dakshina Kannada’s Sullia taluk, marked a significant milestone in her burgeoning literary career with the launch of her debut novel, The Betrayal of the Kingdom, at the Sharjah International Book Fair. The prestigious event, recognized as the world’s largest book fair, provided a fitting stage for the unveiling of Esra’s work.

The official release ceremony was conducted by Sheikh Abdullah bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Director of the Religious Affairs Office of the Sharjah Government and a distinguished member of the royal family, underscoring the significance of Esra’s achievement. Mrs. Lini Shivaprasad, Principal of GEMS Millennium School, Sharjah, had the honor of receiving the first copy of the novel.

The event was graced by the presence of numerous distinguished guests, reflecting the widespread recognition of Esra’s literary talent and the anticipation surrounding her debut novel. Among the notable attendees were Syed Panakkad Munawwarali Shihab Tangal, Dr. Mariam Al Shenasi, the UAE’s renowned writer and Head of Dar Al Yasmin Publications, Dr. K. K. N. Kurup, Retired Vice Chancellor of Calicut University and Historian, Sharjah Businessman Shamsuddin Bin Mohideen, Nizar Talangara, President of the Sharjah Indian Association, V. T Salim, Director of Silver Home Real Estate, Munir Al Wafa, MD of Lipi Publication Akbar, and other esteemed individuals.

At the remarkably young age of eight, Esra has already established herself as a prolific writer, authoring and publishing collections of short stories in addition to her newly released full-length novel. Her dedication to writing and her exceptional talent have positioned her as one of the youngest authors to achieve such literary success. 

Esra is the daughter of Basheer and Haseena, residents of Aramboor, Sullia, and currently a student at Sharjah’s GEMS Millennium School. Her early accomplishments serve as an inspiration to aspiring young writers and a testament to the power of nurturing creativity from a young age.

Mangaluru: Police Commissioner Sudheer Kumar Reddy C H has warned of strict action against individuals spreading rumours and attempting to create insecurity within the Muslim community and fuel hatred between Hindus and Muslims through social media.

Referring to a recent social media post alleging that police personnel had entered a masjid premises to check whether beef was being cooked, the commissioner said miscreants were attempting to push their communal agenda. 

“A group of people, both from Mangaluru and abroad, are trying hard to spread rumours. For the past 10 days, they have been attempting to rake up old issues, highlight routine matters as controversies, or fabricate news altogether,” he said.

He reiterated that any such attempts to disturb communal harmony would invite legal action. “Cases will be registered and the accused will be brought to book,” he stated.

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.
