Construction of Gandhi Bhavan in each district: CM Kumaraswamy
Bengaluru, October 02: Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy said that in order to reach the Gandhian ideology to the youth, the government has decided to construct Gandhi Bhavans in all districts in the state.
Inaugurating the ‘Gandhi-150’ jayanti and the golden jubilee celebration of National Service Scheme, organized by the Karnataka Gandhi Memorial Funds, Information and Public Relation department and National Service Scheme at the Gandhi Bhavan here on Tuesday, the Chief Minister said that the land was identified in 16 districts for the Gandhi Bhavans and within next 15-20 days, land would be finalized in the remaining districts and a committee was formed under his chairmanship to construct the Gandhi Bhavans.
After constructing the Gandhi Bhavans, programmes would be conducted every day to educate the youth on Gandhian philosophy and employability skills, he said.
Committed to protect women
Gandhi had said that the freedom would get a meaning only when a woman walks alone in the midnight. In order to fulfill his dreams, the Coalition government has decided to take some stringent steps. In order to curb gambling, land mafia and chain snatching and other criminal activities, the police department was given free hand. Stringent action would be taken against those who disturb peace and harmony in the society, he said.
Receiving an award from Jayashri Trust, senior poet Bolwar Mahammad Kunh said that “there are no great personalities in the society to emulate by the youth. So, we have to give the examples of life and works of Gandhi without any choice. It is a tragedy that every individual has inclined towards a particular ideology and organization. As a result, we are prejudiced about the other persons and ideologies. So, it is very difficult to create a peaceful environment in the society”, he said.
Gandhi was killed as he was favouring the Muslims. But the reality was different. Gandhi was not in favour of any particular person, caste or religion. He was in favour of the humanity. But those who killed him had failed to understand the gist of his life, he opined.
Gandhi special editions of Janapada and March of Karnataka were released on the occasion and launched a photo exhibition on Gandhi. Former minister HK Patil, former union minister MV Rajashekaran, Gandhi Bhavan president Vode P Krishna, Gandhian Chennamma Hallikeri, Gandhi Bhavan honorary secretary Indira Krishnappa, Information department director NR Vishukumar and others were present.
No licence for liquor shops
“I have not directed anybody to give licence to liquor shops. Moreover, I have not received any proposal about it. But the media has been making false propaganda against me as ‘two-faced Kumaraswamy’. Media should analyse the past and the future before making any news”.
