KPCC President DK Shivakumar confident Sachin Pilot will not leave Congress
Bengaluru: KPCC President DK Shivakumar on Monday expressed his confidence that the senior party leader from Rajasthan, Sachin Pilot who had earlier declared an open revolt against the party, will not leave the party.
Shivakumar while addressing the media at the KPCC office in the city also added that the BJP Government had failed to contain the Coronavirus situation in the state and that had led to people leaving Bengaluru and heading towards their native villages.
He added that his party will not interfere in the government’s administration, but will lend all the support if the government invites them. He also added that his party was open for discussions with the government for better handling of the pandemic beyond the party lines.
Meanwhile, Shivakumar also alleged that although his party was ready to step beyond party lines and lend support to the government in the fight against the government, BJP on the other hand was playing petty politics over the pandemic.
Speaking further about Rajasthan Deputy CM Sachin Pilot’s revolt against the party, Shivakumar said “He and his father worked for the party. We are confident that they will not leave the party. There may be a minor disagreement in the party. Our national leaders will address it. The agenda of the BJP is to topple the Congress government in various states. BJP is misleading Congress leaders and people in Rajasthan. People have given Congress a clear majority”.

AIITA welcomes Karnataka’s ban on obscene songs in school events
Bhatkal: The Karnataka unit of the All India Ideal Teachers Association (AIITA) has welcomed the Karnataka government’s decision to strictly ban school children from dancing to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes in government, aided, and private schools across the state.
AIITA Karnataka State President M. R. Manvi congratulated the government for taking what he termed an important step to preserve the sanctity of education.
“Such decisions to safeguard the dignity of school children and uphold the values of education are the need of the hour. This rule should not be limited to government schools alone but must be strictly implemented in all private educational institutions as well,” he said.
He further urged the government to address other concerns within school programmes.
“The government should not only prohibit obscene dances in the name of school anniversaries, but also ensure that plays and dialogues that incite religious hatred are avoided. Schools should be centres of harmony, not platforms for spreading hatred,” he added.
According to a recent circular issued by the Department of School Education and Literacy, obscene dances are adversely affecting the mental health and moral values of students.
In this regard, schools have been advised to use songs that promote nationalism, positive thinking, the greatness of Kannada culture, and value-based traditions instead of inappropriate content during programmes.
The circular also emphasises that students should be dressed in decent attire.
AIITA also backed the department’s warning that disciplinary action would be taken against head teachers if such guidelines are violated. The association has further demanded that district Deputy Directors of Public Instruction strictly monitor the implementation of these rules.
