Hindu Janajagruti Samiti calls for 'Hindu Nation'
Anti-constitutional banner put up in Mangaluru city
# Move creates furore in social media
# Organisations oppose it
Mangaluru, Jan 23: The flex and banners put up by the Hindu Janajagruti Samiti in the city as part of awareness programme on Hindu Nation to be held in Mangaluru and Shivamogga on January 27, evoked mixed response and debate in the social media.
It reads in the banners ‘All Hindus come together. Let us build Hindu Nation. Present in the convention and exhibit the unity’ and it has created controversy.
Earlier, the organizers claimed that they would conduct the convention at the Nehru Maidan. But now, the programme is shifted to Sharada Vidyalaya at Kodialbail for some reasons.
The Samiti has put up such banners in many places across the city. But more than banners, the event is being debated much in social media and getting more publicity.
Questions like ‘as to how the JDS-Congress coalition government which claims itself as secular, gave permission to put up such banners? Is there a provision to put up such banners as per the Constitution? What will happen if Hindus- Muslims and Christians put up their own banners appealing people to build their own country? Is it not anti-national?.. are being raised in the social media. Moreover, the netizens also urged the police department to act on this issue.
“No organization has sought permission from the department to conduct such a programme in any public places in Mangaluru. If any complaint is lodged against putting controversial banners in public places, the department would take action”.
- Hanumantharaya, DCP, Mangaluru City
“Mangaluru City Corporation will not give permission to put up any controversial banner. It will be verified on such banners put up in the city”.
- Gayathri Nayak, Deputy Commissioner, Mangaluru City Corporation
“This is against Constitution. It is anti-national. Police should not take this issue as small. The administrative machinery which book activists like Kanhaiya Kumar who fight for the nation under false allegations, should not spare such organizations. They should take legal action against the organization. The Indian culture itself is secular. Even the Muslim kings had ruled the country for centuries. They had never tried to make this country Muslim country. When this was the case, some people have been conspiring to convert the secular country into Hindu nation which is unfortunate”.
- PB Desa, vice president PUCL national committee
“The state government should consider such anti-constitutional and anti-national programmes during Republic Day programme seriously and must take action to cancel the programme. The Education department should investigate as to how an education institution has given permission to conduct such programme on its premises? This is the country of pluralism. In coming days, if other communities came forward to build the country on their religion, what will be the situation? As there is a chance of law and order problem, the police department should take precautionary measures. Not only on programme organizers, the police should also take action against the education institution too. Is it not the Urban Naxalism of rightists? Why the government, district administration and police department are silent?”
- PV Mohan, General Secretary, KPCC
“As an effort to counter the secular concept of the democratic India, the Hindu Janajagruti Samiti which has close association with the Sanatan Sanstha is going to conduct the convention in Shivamogga and Mangaluru and its posters were put up in the city.This is a dangerous development. The Indian Constitution has declared the country as a secular and democratic. Building the country in the name of any particular religion is anti-Constitutional and anti-national.The efforts of Hindu Nation are also like ISIS objective of making Islamic country. Both are dangerous. So, the police should not allow the organization to conduct the programme and it should register suo moto case against the organizers and take action”.
- Yasir Hasan, PFI State General Secretary
“It is a dangerous development. They have posed a challenge to the unity and integrity of the country. Case should be registered against the organizers and those who allowed this programme under Treason Section and investigate the issue to uncover the conspiracies behind this move”.
- Muneer Katipalla, President, DYFI Karnataka

Junior Doctor attacked by patient in hospital amid nationwide safety concerns for healthcare workers
In a case that has surfaced just days after the rape and murder at Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, at a time when calls for increased protection for physicians are intensifying, a male patient attacked a junior female physician. The entire episode was recorded by the hospital's CCTV cameras, and it was reported from the Sri Venkateswara Institute of Medical Sciences in Tirupati.
A patient is seen in the now-viral CCTV video pulling the doctor by the hair and violently hitting her head against the hospital bed's steel frame many times. With haste, the other medical professionals in the ward subdued the assailant and took him out of the picture.
The intern wrote to Dr. R.V. Kumar, the Director and Vice-Chancellor of SVIMS, alleging that she was attacked without cause on Saturday while working in the Department of Emergency Medicine by a patient named Bangaru Raju.
He approached from behind, grabbed her by yanking her hair, and gave her a hard head bashing with all of his strength against the steel rod of a cot. She said that throughout the attack, no security personnel were present to save her. While pointing out that if the patient had been carrying a weapon, the outcome would have been significantly different, she emphasized that it demonstrates a great deal of care for workplace safety. According to her, action must be taken to make employees feel safer at work.
Later on in the day, doctors at the hospital staged a protest by calling on the government to provide them with safety and protection in the event of an attack. The Andhra event occurred shortly after the brutal rape and murder of a postgraduate trainee doctor in Kolkata, which sparked widespread protests by medical professionals nationwide calling for steps to ensure their own safety at work.
A 10-member National Task Force appointed by the Supreme Court to recommend strategies for preventing acts of violence against physicians and enhancing their working environments was established in light of this. The task team has pledged to offer a plan of action for stopping gender-based violence and to give doctors a respectable and safe workplace. The incident that occurred at SVIMS, Tirupati, highlights the need to discuss the problem of doctors' safety during working hours.
