‘Collusion between Sangh Parivar and police disclosed’
Komu Souharda Vedike on Perduru incident
Udupi, June 7: District Karnataka Komu Souharda Vedike president and thinker G Rajashekar said that unlike previous incidents, the Perduru incident, for the first time in coastal region, has disclosed the collusion between the Sangh Parivar and the police department.
Speaking to reporters here on Thursday, he said that attacks and killings related to cattle transportation are not new in coastal area.
Like Adi Udupi nude incident, murder of Krishnaiah Pathali near Barkuru and Praveen Poojary of Kenjaru, Perduru Husainabba incident is just another incident. For the first time, Udupi SP Laxman Nimbargi and his team has busted the connivance between the Sangh Parivar and police department.
Vedike would thank the SP and his team for taking suitable action against the accused and upheld the morality of the people, he said.
Since 2000, the Vedike has been, time and again, pointing that the wrongdoings of the Sangh Parivar members were being covered-up in the earlier incidents because of the collusion with the police department. In the secret operation of ‘Cobrapost’, a coastal region BJP leader had said that the police department was under his control.
But till Perduru incident, this collusion was not yet disclosed legally. Hussainabba has been in the cattle trading for the last 35 years with legal permission. He used to purchase the cattle from others and doing his business for his livelihood. Like this, he had been to some places to purchase the cattle on May 30. But on May 31, his body was found in a bush in the limits of Hiriyadka police station. Interestingly, the police have booked the case as natural death. But when the police investigated the case based on the complaint from the relatives of Hussainabba, it was found that both Bajrang Dal workers and police have joined together in doing this crime.
Following this disclosure, the police have so far arrested 11 accused including three police personnel, he said.
As soon as the collusion between the Sangh Parivar and Police department disclosed, Udupi MP Shobha Karandlaje and an MLA have been making allegations against the law and order system and holding the coalition government responsible in arresting the Sangha Pariwar workers, he said.
The vedike would strongly condemn the attitude of the elected representatives who attack constitutional bodies. Like all thefts, cattle theft is also existed in the society. But during such attacks and killings, some forces have been systematically shielding the owners of the cattle who sold them, he said.
SP Laxman Nimbargi and his team were succeeded in their first stage. But those who were subjected to attack and torture in the earlier incidents were denied justice so far because of the negligence of the concerned governments and police department. So, this incident should not see the same situation. Without yielding to any pressure, the police department should take this to a logical end, he demanded.
Representatives of various organizations Phaniraj, William Martis, Yasin Malpe, Robert and others were present.
Police system require facelift
Scholar K Phaniraj said that with the Perduru incident, we have seen just a tip of iceberg. Unless the police who indulge in such illegal activities were not booked and take them into custody, such inhuman killings would not stop in the coastal region. To ensure this, the police department here would require a facelift and constitutional treatment, he demanded.

India to get first national security semiconductor fabrication plant
Wilmington (PTI): Under a transformative collaboration with the US, India will get a national security semiconductor fabrication plant that will produce chips for use in military hardware and next-generation telecommunications.
The India-US joint project was announced following talks between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Joe Biden in Wilmington on Saturday.
A joint fact sheet on Modi-Biden talks said the two leaders "hailed" the semiconductor project as a "watershed arrangement".
It will be the first ever India-US semiconductor fabrication partnership.
It is the first time ever the US military has agreed to do a partnership for these highly-value technologies with India and it is a watershed moment as it is as significant as the civil nuclear deal, people familiar with the matter said.
"President Biden and Prime Minister Modi hailed a watershed arrangement to establish a new semiconductor fabrication plant focused on advanced sensing, communication, and power electronics for national security, next-generation telecommunications, and green energy applications," the fact sheet noted.
It said the "fab, which will be established with the objective of manufacturing infrared, gallium nitride and silicon carbide semiconductors, will be enabled by support from the India semiconductor mission as well as a strategic technology partnership between Bharat Semi, 3rdiTech, and the US Space Force."
The Fab becomes not only India’s first, but one of the world's first multi-material fabs for national security, the people cited above said.
The fact sheet said Modi and Biden praised combined efforts to facilitate resilient, secure, and sustainable semiconductor supply chains including through GlobalFoundries' (GF) creation of the GF Kolkata Power Center in Kolkata.
It said the project will enhance mutually beneficial linkages in research and development in chip manufacturing.
"The leaders welcomed steps our industry is taking to build safe, secure, and resilient supply chains for US, Indian, and international automotive markets, including through Ford Motor Company's submission of a Letter of Intent to utilize its Chennai plant to manufacture for export to global markets," the document said.
It said Modi and Biden commended ongoing efforts to build more expansive cooperation around 5G deployment and next-generation telecommunications.
This includes the US Agency for International Development's plans to expand the Asia Open RAN Academy with an initial USD 7 million investment to grow this workforce training initiative worldwide, including in South Asia with Indian institutions.
