Mangaluru: Sharan Pumpwell needs Muslim’s money but fights Muslim youths: Biruver Kudla
Mangaluru: Biruver Kudla Mangaluru questioned Sharan Pumpwell saying, “Bajrang Dal Leader Sharan Pumpwell is okay with the money of the Muslims. But, why can he not stand the Muslim youth?” they questioned.
On Monday, speaking at a press conference in the city, Biruver Kudla’s Convener Laxmeesh said, “Sharan Pumpwell had once said in a gathering that was done recently that Biruver Kudla is an organization meant for only one caste. Biruver Kudla is an organization that came into existence to serve society. In 7 years, without seeing caste differences, this organization has offered the help of 3 crore rupees to the poor”, he said.
“Sharan Pumpwell has spoken about the Biruver Kudla in a defamatory manner. Therefore, Biruver Kudla will undertake a legal course against him”, he said.
Biruver Kudla’s Deepu Shettigar addressed the media saying, “With a lease in hand, Sharan Pumpwell has earned by collecting a considerable amount from several Muslim Centres including City Centre. For a man such as him, who is known to fight in the Hindutva cause, the money from Muslim institutions is okay, but Muslim youth are not. How right is this?” he questioned.
From carrying the dead to building houses, we have been serving society. Unlike Sharan Pumpwell who does work to break/divide the society, Biruver Kudla has only done work for people’s welfare in Ballalbagh”, he said.
Kishore Babu, Vidya, Rakesh, Uday Kumar, and others were present during the press conference.

Madras HC strikes down TN order limiting maternity leave for third child
Chennai: The Madras High Court has set aside a Tamil Nadu government order restricting maternity leave for a third pregnancy to 12 weeks, holding the move to be contrary to established legal principles.
A division bench comprising Justices R Suresh Kumar and N Senthil Kumar ruled that there was no justification to treat third pregnancies differently from the first two, observing that the physical and medical requirements of childbirth remain the same irrespective of the number of pregnancies, as reported by The News Minute.
According to a report published by Live Law, the court was hearing a petition filed by Shayee Nisha, a staff member of the district judiciary in Villupuram, whose request for maternity leave from February 2026 to February 2027 had been curtailed to three months by authorities citing the March 13, 2026 government order.
Quashing the decision of the Principal District Judge and related directions asking her to resume duty, the bench directed that she be granted maternity leave on par with that provided for earlier pregnancies, allowing up to 365 days.
The court noted that both the Supreme Court of India and earlier rulings of the High Court had consistently held that maternity benefits cannot be denied for a third child. Holding the restriction to be unsustainable, the court directed authorities to process maternity leave applications without discrimination based on the number of pregnancies.
It also pointed out that a similar issue had been addressed by a division bench earlier this year, which had disapproved denial of maternity leave in such cases and directed that its ruling be circulated among judicial officers. Despite this, the state issued the impugned order, the bench observed.
