Fake bomb threat to schools: State government should not take things lightly asserts HD Kumaraswamy
Bengaluru: The government should not under any circumstances consider the incident of fake bomb threats to school lightly asserted former Chief Minister and JD(S) Karnataka President H.D. Kumaraswamy on Friday.
Kumaraswamy further urged the government to provide safety and security arrangements assuring confidence in the parents to send their children to schools.
Sharing an ‘X’ post regarding the incident, he wrote, “It is alarming to hear that anonymous individuals have sent bomb threats to schools. The miscreants would have carried such an act with the malicious intent of creating fear and endangering peace and order of the parents and children.”
The JD(S) leader further called on the Congress government to not take the incident lightly for any reason, and to ensure that parents and kids have confidence in going to schools. “Do a detailed investigation into the matter and find out the one behind the incident. Find out what is the source and immobilize it. The state government should not hesitate to get help from the central government concerning this incident.”
ಶಾಲೆಗಳಿಗೆ ಅನಾಮಧೇಯ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿಗಳು ಬಾಂಬ್ ಬೆದರಿಕೆ ಒಡ್ಡಿರುವುದು ಕಳವಳಕಾರಿ. ಮಕ್ಕಳು, ಪೋಷಕರು ತೀವ್ರವಾಗಿ ಕಳವಳಗೊಂಡಿದ್ದು, ಅವರಲ್ಲಿ ಭೀತಿ ಸೃಷ್ಟಿಸಿ, ಶಾಂತಿ ಸುವ್ಯವಸ್ಥೆಗೆ ಧಕ್ಕೆ ಉಂಟು ಮಾಡುವ ದುರುದ್ದೇಶದಿಂದಲೇ ದುಷ್ಟಶಕ್ತಿಗಳು ಇಂತಹ ಹುನ್ನಾರ ನಡೆಸಿರಬಹುದು.

Karnataka Muslim Convention to be held in Bengaluru on May 16
Muslim organisations to release report on Congress govt’s three-year performance
Bengaluru: Major Muslim organisations and federations in Karnataka have decided to organise a large public convention titled ‘Karnataka Muslim Convention’ at Town Hall in Bengaluru on May 16. During the convention, a comprehensive report reviewing the three-year performance of the Congress government under the theme “What did the Congress government promise? What did it do? What next?” will be released.
According to a statement issued on Friday, no politicians will be invited to the convention. The report will be submitted to the government and all MLAs after the event.
The convention is being held at a time when the Congress government is nearing the completion of three years in office on May 20. Muslim organisations have expressed dissatisfaction, alleging that despite extending strong support to the Congress in bringing it to power, the community is being neglected.
The Convention is being organised at time when there are concerns over inadequate political representation for Muslims, alleged neglect of community demands, and the suspension of senior Muslim leaders who had worked for the party for decades.
The organisers said the convention aims to raise questions on what the Congress government has delivered so far and what further steps are expected from the government.
The decision to hold the convention was taken during a meeting held on May 6 at A J International Hotel in Shivajinagar, Bengaluru. Representatives of major Muslim organisations, associations, ulema bodies, federations, and members of the ad hoc committee of Karnataka Rajya Muslim Okkoota attended the meeting.
More than 75 representatives and delegates, including senior ulemas, jamaat leaders, lawyers, retired officials, journalists and members of the KRMO ad hoc committee, participated in the discussions.
Members of the KRMO ad hoc committee’s report preparation team and experts from different sectors presented a detailed report on the Congress government’s three-year performance. The report examined promises made to Muslims on ten major issues, the extent to which they were fulfilled, pending promises, alleged discrimination in representation, and the demands now being placed before the government.
The report covered issues such as the hijab ban, reservation cancellation, hate speech and hate crimes, budget allocation, political representation, waqf matters, the anti-cow slaughter law, anti-conversion law, scholarships and educational grants.
Participants offered suggestions and recommendations on various points, and necessary corrections to the report were accepted after detailed discussions.
The meeting also reportedly expressed strong dissatisfaction over the manner in which the Congress government has treated the Muslim community. Participants are said to have opined that if the government and the Congress party continue in the same manner, the community should keep its political options open.
It was later decided that the report would be officially released at the large public convention on May 16 under the title “Karnataka Muslim Convention – What did the Congress government promise? What did it do? What next?”
The organisers appealed to people from all districts of the state to participate in large numbers and send a strong message to the government and the Congress party through the convention.
They also decided that all organisations, jamaats and associations should work towards ensuring participation from every district in Karnataka.
The statement reiterated that no politicians would be invited to the May 16 convention and that the report on the Congress government’s three-year performance would be submitted to the Chief Minister, Deputy Chief Minister, ministers and MLAs after the event.
