Inspect Madrasas, ban Muslim organizations: Sogadu Shivanna
Tumkur, Feb 18: Former minister Sogadu Shivanna urged the government to inspect all Madrasas and ban all Muslim organizations across the country.
Speaking to reporters here on Monday, he said that in view of Pulwama terror strike, Prime Minister Narendra Modi should take firm decision and declare war against Pakistan. People would support the government. There was a need to take stringent actions to contain extremists and traitors, he added.
Mujahidin, SDPI and other organizations should be banned immediately. Otherwise, the country has to face serious threat. Owaisi brothers should be arrested first as they have been provoking the people.
Today, no one would believe politicians as they have involved in appeasement politics. But everyone should join hands together to protect the country, he said appealing the Prime Minister to take steps to ensure that such incidents would not repeat, he said.
Hunger strike on Feb 28
If the state government approved Express Line water project to supply water to Channapatna and Ramanagara from Tumkur through pipeline on February 28, he would stage dharna in front of the deputy commissioner’s office in Tumkur, Shivanna said.
As per the wish of Siddaganga swamiji, first water should be supplied to Devaraya Patna and Mydala reservoir. The district has three ministers, but no use at all. Now, neither the farmer leaders nor the politicians have come together to find a solution to this problem. Instead, the swamiji's have come together to find a permanent solution.
The allotted water should be supplied completely to the district and if there is surplus water, they could take it to other districts, he said.
Leaders MB Nandeesh, KP Mahesh, Jayasimha, Nataraj and others were present.

Another North Goa nightclub sealed; Kejriwal says corruption led to fire tragedy
Panaji (PTI): As part of a crackdown against tourist establishments violating laws and safety norms in the aftermath of the Arpora fire tragedy, Goa authorities on Saturday sealed a renowned club at Vagator and revoked the fire department NOC of another club.
Cafe CO2 Goa, located on a cliff overlooking the Arabian Sea at Vagator beach in North Goa, was sealed. The move came two days after Goya Club, also in Vagator, was shut down for alleged violations of rules.
Elsewhere, campaigning for local body polls, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal said the fire incident at Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub at Arpora, which claimed 25 lives on December 6, happened because the BJP government in the state was corrupt.
An inspection of Cafe CO2 Goa by a state government-appointed team revealed that the establishment, with a seating capacity of 250, did not possess a no-objection certificate (NOC) of the Fire and Emergency Services Department. The club, which sits atop Ozrant Cliff, also did not have structural stability, the team found.
The Fire and Emergency Services on Saturday also revoked the NOC issued to Diaz Pool Club and Bar at Anjuna as the fire extinguishers installed in the establishment were found to be inadequate, said divisional fire officer Shripad Gawas.
A notice was issued to Nitin Wadhwa, the partner of the club, he said in the order.
Campaigning at Chimbel village near Panaji in support of his party's Zilla Panchayat election candidate, Aam Aadmi Party leader Kejriwal said the nightclub fire at Arpora happened because of the "corruption of the Pramod Sawant-led state government."
"Why this fire incident happened? I read in the newspapers that the nightclub had no occupancy certificate, no building licence, no excise licence, no construction licence or trade licence. The entire club was illegal but still it was going on," he said.
"How could it go on? Couldn't Pramod Sawant or anyone else see it? I was told that hafta (bribe) was being paid," the former Delhi chief minister said.
A person can not work without bribing officials in the coastal state, Kejriwal said, alleging that officers, MLAs and even ministers are accepting bribes.
