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.

Dear naren before poitning at others please check in our religon loop holes. Do you know how many wives for dashrath ? Krishna? AIf you think Hindus have only one wife, then these people may be muslims whom we worship as god. Regarding women learn to respect them. ASfter having two pes you can not identify who is mother sister or wife.And started to bark at others. Dont spoil the life of young students by giving wrong guidence.

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.

Bengaluru: JD(S) leader H D Kumaraswamy on Sunday said he would like to wait for the facts to come out of the investigation into an alleged sex scandal involving his nephew and Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna, but asserted that there is no question of forgiving anyone who has committed a crime as per law.

The former chief minister said he has nothing to do with Prajwal Revanna reportedly leaving the country, and it is the responsibility of the Special Investigation Team (SIT) to get him back if required.

The 33-year-old Prajwal Revanna is the son of former prime minister and JD(S) patriarch H D Deve Gowda's elder son H D Revanna, who is an MLA and former minister.

Some explicit video clips allegedly involving Prajwal Revanna had started making the rounds in Hassan in recent days.

Prajwal Revanna is the BJP-JD(S) alliance's candidate from Hassan, which went to polls on Friday.

Kumaraswamy said, "I have noticed that the chief minister has ordered an SIT probe. Whether it is me or Deve Gowda (his father), we have always conducted ourselves respectfully towards women and have responded positively when anyone came with any sufferings. We have tried to address them."

Speaking to reporters here, he said, "The Hassan related issue that started during elections, let the facts come out through a probe. Whoever it is, who has committed the mistake as per the law of the land...there is no question of forgiving anyone who has committed the mistake. So let the facts come out from the probe, after that I will react."

To a question on Prajwal Revanna going to a foreign country, Kumaraswamy said, "It is not related to me. SIT probe has been ordered, officials have been put to work. If he has gone to a foreign country, getting him back is their responsibility. What should I say, if I'm asked. They (SIT) will get him, don't worry."

Chief Minister Siddaramaiah announced the decision to constitute a SIT to probe the alleged sex scandal involving the MP.

Meanwhile, the police have information that Prajwal has left the country, according to a statement issued by the Chief Minister’s office.

"Prajwal Revanna’s explicit video clips are being circulated in Hassan and it appears prime facie that women were sexually assaulted,' the statement said, adding that the government decided to form an SIT based on a petition by the chief of the Karnataka State Commission for Women.

The Commission's chairperson Dr Nagalakshmi Chaudhary on Thursday wrote to Siddaramaiah and state police chief Alok Mohan, seeking a probe into the videos that are in circulation in Hassan.

Prajwal has through his election agent lodged a complaint with the authorities that the videos are "doctored" and being circulated to tarnish his image ahead of elections.

Mangaluru International Airport (MIA) has taken a step towards enhancing aircraft safety and has planned to install a Precision Approach Lighting (PAL) category 1 system near Sri Kordabbu Daivasthana, Unile.

The groundbreaking ceremony was held on Friday. The project involves various works related to the PAL system and aims to be completed in 20 months.

The airport has undertaken this project in accordance with safety recommendations from the ministry of civil aviation and the civil aviation safety and security regulator. The PAL CAT 1 system will provide pilots with improved visibility of runway 24 and guidance during their final landing approach. The system will be installed 900m from the threshold of runway 24, as this end of the runway accounts for 90% of aircraft landings at the airport.

The PAL will be mounted on approximately 18 lattice structures, which is a unique feature of the project. The lights will be fixed to frangible T-shaped structures. The project will complement the installation of runway centerline lights, which has already been completed and is awaiting approval from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation for commissioning.

Mangaluru: BJP candidate in Dakshina Kannada Capt Brijesh Chowta has received a letter from Prime Minister Narendra Modi wishing him victory in the election.

In the letter, which the BJP shared with the media, the PM has lauded Chowta’s exceptional services in the armed forces as a part of the Gorkha regiment, especially in counter-insurgency operations. Modi also has mentioned about Chowta’s efforts as an organiser of the Mangaluru Lit Fest and his dedication to preserve the cultural heritage of the region.

“I am certain that you will immensely contribute towards the welfare of people and the region of Dakshina Kannada. Through this letter, I would like to tell the people of your constituency that this is not an ordinary election. Families across India, especially the senior members, would remember the difficulties they have gone through in the last five to six decades. In the last 10 years, the quality of life of every section of society has improved, with many of these troubles removed. Yet, a lot more is still to be done and this election will be decisive in our mission to ensure a better life for everyone,” reads the letter. 

“Your exceptional service in the armed forces as a part of the Gorkha regiment, especially in counter-insurgency operations, is commendable. Additionally, your efforts as an organiser of the Mangaluru Lit Fest demonstrate your dedication to preserving the cultural heritage of the region. I am certain that you will immensely contribute towards the welfare of people and the region of Dakshin Kannada”

“With the blessings of the people, I am confident that you will reach the Parliament. Team members like you are a great asset for me. As a team, we will leave no stone unturned for the welfare of the people of your constituency and the country. Through this letter, I would like to tell the people of your constituency that this is not an ordinary election. Families across India, especially the senior members, would remember the difficulties they have gone through in the last 5-6 decades. In the last 10 years, the quality of life of every section of society has improved, with many of these troubles removed. Yet, a lot more is still to be done and this election will be decisive in our mission to ensure a better life for everyone.

“This election is an opportunity to connect our present with a bright future. Every vote that the BJP gets will go towards forming a stable government and impart momentum in our journey to become a developed nation by 2047. The people of India themselves have made up their minds to support this vision and are leading the way in this election. I am aware that the summer heat poses problems to everyone. But this election is extremely important for the future of our nation. I appeal to the voters to cast their votes early in the morning, before the heat sets in.

“It is important that our workers motivate people to go out and vote in large numbers. Focus on winning the booth. Victory in every booth leads to success in the constituency. At the same time, I request workers of our party to take care of their health and that of other people around them. As a candidate of the BJP, I urge you to convey my assurance to each voter that every moment of my time is dedicated to the welfare of my fellow citizens. I send you my wishes for your victory in the election,” stated PM Modi in the letter.
