Maintain Hindu fabric of the country; can solve economic issues later: Subramanian Swamy

Belagavi, Nov 8: BJP leader and controversial “economist” Subramanian Swamy has urged the government and people to give priority to Hinduism over solving economic issues of the country.

Delivering a talk on “Intellectual Terrorism” organised by Prabhudha Bharat organisation at the KLE Centenary Convention Hall recently, Swamy said that economic issues could be resolved at any time, but continuous efforts should be made in maintaining the true Hindu fabric of the country.

He claimed that he was behind the ouster of Raghuram Rajan from the RBI. He is not an economist at all. I thank the Modi government for supporting my move, he said.

‘Rahul and Sonia will be jailed’

He ridiculed Congress leaders and said AICC president Sonia Gandhi and vice-president Rahul Gandhi would go to jail soon for their involvement in several scams. It is not Indian National Congress. It is Italian Congress party, he said.

He defined intellectual terrorism as “something that makes you believe what you should not and do what you should not”.

He said he was not anti–Muslim, but expected them to live in cultural harmony with Hindus while following theological principles of the Holy Quran. Muslim women supported BJP in U.P. as it was the only party talking against triple Talaq, he said. He also said that Muslim women should be given inheritance rights to property (Interestingly, Muslim women have been enjoying the property inheritance rights since the beginning).

Kamal Haasan slammed

Swamy also criticised actor Kamal Haasan over his remarks on “Hindu terror.” He said actors were trying to enter politics in Tamil Nadu after their cinematic careers were fading.

He said there was no need to give much importance to Tipu Sultan as he had fought the British after taking money from the French, who were opposed to them. He also held socialism responsible for keeping the country backward.

Rajya Sabha member and KLE chairman Prabhakar Kore, Suresh Angadi, MP, industrialist Vijay Usalkar, Chaitanya Kulkarni of Prabuddha Bharat, and others were present.

No one including his own party takes him seriously,he is looking for some green pastures since the BJP came in to power.This statement is to please his RSS boses.Alas,no use-Modi or Shah never ever will induct him to any considerable position.

What is wrong to others is right to him. Being verbally pugnacious is integral to his personality. Promotion of Brand Swamy is essential for his survival and Twitter is an important platform for his often ludicrous comments and observations. keep Spitting Swamy!

I can say Modi is the best intelligent person in the world. And he should get business man of the year award. 

Because,

 

1. Modi made huge benefit to Paytm (paytm ceo didnt do this much profit for his company)

 

2. Modi made profit to the private agency which made/maintaning aadhar things.

3. Modi made profit to Jio

 

4. Modi made profit to big companies by implementing demonetisation and GST (same time it affected badly on small scale retailer shop)

Puttur: The long-cherished dream of a government medical college in Puttur has moved a decisive step closer to reality, with the Karnataka State Finance Department granting its official approval for the construction of a new 300-bed hospital.

Puttur MLA Ashok Kumar Rai announced the crucial development to reporters on Monday, confirming that the official communication from the finance department was issued on November 27. This 300-bed facility is intended to be the cornerstone for the establishment of the government medical college, a project announced in the state budget.

Fast-Track Implementation

The MLA outlined an aggressive timeline for the project:

•    A Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the hospital is expected to be ready within 45 days.

•    The tender process for the construction will be completed within two months.

Following the completion of the tender process, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is scheduled to lay the foundation stone for the project.

"Setting up a medical college in Puttur is a historical decision by the Congress government in Karnataka," Rai stated. The project has an estimated budget allocation of Rs 1,000 crore for the medical college.

Focus on Medical Education Department

The MLA highlighted a key strategic move: requesting the government to implement the hospital construction through the Medical Education Department instead of the Health and Family Welfare Department. This is intended to streamline the entire process of establishing the full medical college, ensuring the facilities—including labs, operation theatres, and other necessary infrastructure—adhere to the strict guidelines set by the Medical Council of India (MCI). The proposed site for the project is in Bannur.

Rai also took the opportunity to address political criticism, stating that the government has fulfilled its promise despite "apprehensions" and "mocking and criticising" from opposition parties who had failed to take similar initiatives when they were in power. "Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has kept his word," he added.

Mangaluru police have arrested a 27-year-old NRI on his return from Saudi Arabia in connection with an Instagram post allegedly containing derogatory and provocative remarks about the Hindu religion, officials said on Monday.

The accused, Abdul Khader Nehad, a resident of Ulaibettu in Mangaluru, was working in Saudi Arabia when the post was uploaded, police said.

A suo motu case was registered at the Bajpe police station on October 11 after an allegedly offensive post circulated from the Instagram account ‘team_sdpi_2025’. Police said the content was flagged for being provocative and derogatory in nature.

During the investigation, technical analysis traced the Instagram post to Nehad, who was residing abroad at the time, a senior police officer said. Based on these findings, a Look Out Circular (LOC) was issued against him.

On December 14, Nehad arrived from Saudi Arabia at Calicut International Airport in Kerala, where he was taken into custody on arrival. Police said further investigation is underway.

Mangaluru, Dec 15: Educational institutions in Mangaluru that rely on the popular Mangala Stadium for their annual sports events are bracing for an inconvenience as the city's key sporting venue is set to close its gates for a significant upgrade. The stadium is expected to be unavailable for approximately two months starting from January 15, 2026.

The closure is necessitated by a proposed overhaul of the stadium's facilities, with a special focus on upgrading the synthetic track. Pradeep Dsouza, Assistant Director of the District of Youth Empowerment and Sports (DYES), Dakshina Kannada, confirmed the development.

"Experts have visited the stadium, conducted a thorough inspection, and have given the go-ahead for a complete makeover," Dsouza stated. "Funds have been allocated for the project, and we are currently awaiting the final green signal from state officials to commence the work. We anticipate that the work will likely begin in the second week of January. Consequently, we have stopped renting out the stadium to colleges and other organizations in preparation for the upgrade."

The timing presents a logistical challenge for colleges, as many schools have already concluded their sports meets.

"Colleges will now be organizing their events and will need to find alternative locations to host their sports meets," Dsouza added. He suggested a few potential venues, including the Dakshina Kannada police ground, University College grounds, Panambur grounds, Swaraj Maidan in Moodbidri, and the Mangalore University sports grounds in Konaje.

However, many institutions note that finding a comparable venue will be difficult. While the DK police ground and University College grounds are closer to the city center, they do not possess the extensive facilities and infrastructure offered by Mangala Stadium.

Dr. P Dayananda Pai - P Satisha Govt First Grade College, Carstreet, is one such institution dependent on the stadium. Principal Jayakar Bhandary expressed hope for a swift completion of the work. "We expect the work to be completed at the earliest. If not, we will be forced to look for other venues to host the sports day for our students," Bhandary said, highlighting the pressing need for the city's main sporting facility.
