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?”

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.

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.

Udupi district transformed into a sea of saffron and celebration on Friday, November 28, as Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s roadshow swept through the coastal temple town. Thousands of residents lined the streets, turning the event into a vibrant public spectacle filled with cheers, flags, and festive energy.

The procession route—from the helipad to the historic Sri Krishna Math—was decked with buntings, saffron flags, and multilayered security barricades. One of the district’s largest-ever security deployments was put in place for the high-profile visit, with over 3,000 police personnel on duty. The arrangement included ten SPs, 27 DSPs, 49 inspectors, 127 sub-inspectors, 232 assistant sub-inspectors, 1,608 constables, and 39 women staff.

Six platoons of the Karnataka State Reserve Police, six Quick Response Teams, bomb detection units, and dog squads were stationed across Udupi. Enhanced surveillance covered Adi Udupi, Bannanje bus stand, and the Sri Krishna Math parking zone, with combing operations carried out along the roadshow corridor.

At the 800-year-old Sri Krishna Math, preparations reached a ceremonial peak. Paryaya Puttige Math seer Sugunendra Teertha Swamiji said the Prime Minister would take part in the Laksha Kantha Geetha Parayana, a mass chanting of the Bhagavad Gita by one lakh devotees, and inaugurate the new Suvarna Teertha Mantapa.

“He will first offer floral tributes to saint-poet Kanakadasa and then unveil the golden covering over the Kanakana Kindi,” the seer said.

The Prime Minister will also receive a Poorna Kumbha welcome and have darshan of Lord Sri Krishna, Mukhyaprana Devaru, and the Suvarna Paduke. Union Minister Pralhad Joshi, Karnataka Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot, Minister Bairathi Suresh, Dharmadhikari D. Veerendra Heggade, and seers from the Ashta Maths are expected to join the ceremony.

Ahead of his arrival, the Prime Minister posted on X that he felt “honoured” to attend the spiritually significant gathering. “This is a special occasion that brings together people from different sections of society for a recital of the Gita. This Matha has a very special significance in our cultural life,” he wrote, noting the institution’s long-standing legacy rooted in the teachings of Sri Madhvacharya.

Udupi: The pontiffs of Sri Paryaya Puttige Mutt, the sacred seat of Jagadguru Shrimad Madhvacharya Moola Samsthanam, have submitted a proposal to the Prime Minister seeking comprehensive development for Udupi district. 

Proposal for International Airport

A key request is the establishment of an international airport. Highlighting that around 1,000 acres of land are available and suitable, the pontiffs noted that the existing Mangalore Airport provides limited international connectivity. They suggested the airport be developed under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) or as a Greenfield Airport to boost trade, education, healthcare, and spiritual tourism.

Metro and Rapid Transit Connectivity

The proposal also calls for Metro Rail or Rapid Transit between Mangaluru and Udupi. The 55 km coastal stretch experiences heavy daily commuter traffic, causing congestion. The district administration is ready to prepare an initial project report for a Mass Rapid Transit corridor and requested inclusion under national urban mobility programmes to ensure safe, green, and time-efficient regional transport.

Port and Coastal Development

The pontiffs urged the development of an international-standard port with a cruise terminal along Udupi’s coast. They also requested fast-tracking of pending coastal tourism projects and revising Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) norms to encourage sustainable infrastructure and hospitality investment.

IT, AI and Technological Infrastructure

Support was sought for an IT and AI Innovation Park with incubation facilities under Digital India and Startup India initiatives. The proposal also emphasized the need for strengthened data security and cloud computing infrastructure to boost India’s technological independence.

Sports and Education Initiatives

The pontiffs requested national sports status for Kambala, along with financial and infrastructure support. They also sought the establishment of an AIIMS in Udupi, a new IIT campus, and approval for an IIM to promote higher education in the district.

Representation to the Prime Minister

Sri Sugunendra Tirtha Pontiff and Sri Sushrendra Tirtha Swamiji represented the pontiffs in submitting the comprehensive development proposal to the Prime Minister during his recent visit.
