Discrimination from district minister: JDS councilors alleged
Ullala City Municipal Council
Mangaluru, Dec 19: Ullala CMC member and JDS state general secretary Dinakar Ullal alleged that by changing various works worth Rs 25 crore sanctioned under Nagarothana scheme of the City Municipal Council, District Minister UT Khader has done injustice to JDS councilors.
Speaking to reporters here on Wednesday, he said that in the last CMC election, the JDS candidates have defeated Congress candidates due to which Congress leaders were disappointed. Now, the sanctioned programmes were changed through the followers of the Minister, he alleged.
Though there was Congress-JDS coalition government in the state, District Minister UT Khader who is also the MLA of the constituency, has involved in hatred politics and thus discriminating the JDS members. Though they have drawn the attention of the Minister and officials, nothing was happened. Next week, the JDS councilors would go to Bengaluru and inform the situation to the party leaders. If the problem was not solved, then they would move the court and bring stay order, he said.
Ullala CMC limits JDS president Musthafa, members UM Jabbar, Khaleel Ullal, Mustaq Patla were present at the press conference.

Migrant labourer lynched in Odisha over false claim of Bangladeshi identity
Sambalpur, Odisha: A 30-year-old migrant labourer from West Bengal was beaten to death around 8.30 pm on Wednesday in the Shantinagar city after a group of men falsely accused him of being an illegal Bangladeshi national.
Police said on Thursday, the victim, identified as Juel Shaikh, had stopped at a tea stall after completing his day’s work. Three other migrant workers were with him at the time.
According to police and local sources, a group of four to five unidentified men approached the workers and began questioning them about their identity. The Observer Post reported that the men allegedly accused the labourers of being Bangladeshi immigrants and demanded proof of identity. After the workers produced valid identity documents, the attackers reportedly dismissed them as fake and began assaulting the group.
Three of the workers managed to flee. Juel Shaikh was caught by the assailants and beaten severely. He sustained serious injuries and died at the spot. The attackers fled soon after the assault.
A police officer said the body was recovered from the scene and shifted to the district headquarters hospital morgue. Shaikh’s family has been informed of his death. The injured workers were admitted to hospital for treatment. A post-mortem examination of the deceased is scheduled to be conducted on Thursday.
