All religions are equal in Constitution: Siddaramaiah
Connect-2018 Community Convention
Grand Hubburasool Conference
Mangaluru, December 3: “Constitution was written on humanitarian ground. People of all religions in the country should live like one family members because, all religions are equal in the Constitution”, opined former chief minister Siddaramaiah.
Inaugurating the ‘Grand Hubburasool Conference’ of the ‘Connect-2018 Community Get-together’ organized to mark the fifth anniversary of the Karnataka Cultural Foundation (KCF) at Nehru Stadium here on Monday, Siddaramaiah said that the “country has the communities like Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Jains and Buddhists. No religion is above or below. Some people say that Siddaramaiah has been appeasing a single religion. But I have done my administration under the Constitutional provisions. The Constitution does not promote hatred. Instead, it has advocated tolerance, harmony and coexistence”, he said.
“India is a rich country and every individual has share in it. Unfortunately, the wealth is accumulated with a few people. The wealth of the nation should be distributed equally. I have ruled the state in this principle. I have not tried to appease any one religion”, he said.
Various schemes like Anna Bhagya, Ksheera Bhagya, Krishi Bhagya, Matru Poorna and other programmes have benefitted many people. But some people would not tolerate it. He would not hesitate to anything, but he would be committed to the Constitution as it was a guide to him, he added.
BJP-led NDA government has completely failed at the centre. They have failed to fulfill their promises. They remember Sri Rama only when they confront problems or elections. After election, definitely they would forget Rama. Every leader has got the benefit of the Constitution and it was their duty to protect it. More facilities should be ensured to the oppressed class to fulfill the intention of the Constitution, he said.
In his government, Rs 3100 crore was released for minority welfare. But he was not satisfied about it. If he had come to power, he would have kept Rs 10,000 crore to ensure social justice to everybody. He would urge the coalition government to release more funds, he said.
Urban Development and Housing Minister UT Khader said that Dakshina Kannada was a peace loving district. Though some people have been trying to instigate the people, they want peace and harmony, he said.
Yenepoya University Chancellor Abdul Kunhi Yenepoya said that Darul Aman Housing Scheme in Connect-2018 Community Get-together was an important programme. Sulthanul Ulama Shaikhuna Kanthapuram AP Abubakar Musliyar has made name not only in India, but in the world, he said.

Jharkhand horror: Man kills live-in partner, chops body into 40 pieces
Ranchi (PTI): A 25-year-old man, who works as a butcher, allegedly strangled to death his live-in partner and chopped her body into 40 to 50 pieces in a forested area in Jharkhand’s Khunti district, police said on Wednesday.
The accused, identified as Naresh Bhengra, was arrested.
The matter came to light after around a fortnight after the killing when a stray dog was found with human body parts near Jordag village in Jariagarh police station on November 24.
Bhengra was in a live-in relationship with the deceased, a 24-year-old woman also from Khunti district, in Tamil Nadu for the past couple of years. Sometime back, he returned to Jharkhand, got married to another woman without telling his partner anything and went back to the southern state without his wife to join her.
"The brutal incident occurred on November 8 when they reached Khunti as the accused who had married another woman did not wish to take her home. Instead, he took her to a forest near his house at Jordag village in Jariagarh police station and chopped the body into pieces. The man has been arrested," Khunti Superintendent of Police Aman Kumar told PTI.
Inspector Ashok Singh who investigated the case said the man worked in a butcher shop in Tamil Nadu and was expert in slicing chicken.
“He admitted chopping the body parts of the woman into 40 to 50 pieces before leaving those in the forest for wild animals to feast on. The police recovered several parts on November 24 after a dog in the area was seen with a hand," Singh told PTI.
Singh said that the woman, who was unaware of his marriage, pressured him to return to Khunti. After reaching Ranchi, they boarded a train on November 24 and headed to the man's village.
"Under a plan, the man took her to Khunti in an autorickshaw near his home and asked her to wait. He returned with sharp weapons and strangulated her with her dupatta after raping her. He then cut the body into 40 to 50 pieces and left for his home to live with his wife," Singh said.
The woman, however, had informed her mother that she had boarded a train and would be living with her partner, the police officer said.
Following the recovery of body parts, a bag was also found in the forest with the murdered woman's belongings including her Aadhaar card. The mother of the woman was called at the spot and she identified her daughter's belongings.
"The mother suspected the man behind the crime who after being nabbed by the police admitted to chopping the woman into pieces," the official added.
The incident has sent shockwaves among people in the region, with the Shraddha Walker murder case of 2022 still fresh in their memory.
Walker was killed by her live-in partner who chopped her body into pieces before dumping them in the jungle in South Delhi’s Mehrauli.
