Kadaba: Miscreants break into church, destroy holy cross, place Hanuman portrait
Kadaba: The unfortunate incident which took place at Kutrupady near Kadaba on 1 May where some miscreants reportedly placed a Hanuman portrait inside Immanuel Assembly of God Church while destroying the cross to replace it with saffron flag is taking new twists day by day, it is learned.
In a complaint lodged by Fr Jose Verghese of the Immanuel Assembly of God Church, he alleged that the miscreants had escaped with an electric meter, water pump, pipes and also documents related to the church.
On 3 May Hindutva organisations had visited the church and alleged that it was an illegal construction. Meanwhile, Enkaje Shobharaj, a local, had filed a complaint in this regard to the Tahsildar.
“Unknown people have entered illegally into my site while proceeding with religious activities here. Alternative land was given to my father which was passed on to my sisters and me after his death. We made a living out of farming in this land. However, now they have illegally entered this site to construct illegal buildings here,” alleged Shobharaj in his complaint.
The SDPI officials who visited the controversial site on Friday had accused Hindutva organisations while alleging that miscreants from certain Hindutva organisations have incited communal violence in Kadaba for political gains.
“While elections are on the way, the district administration stands responsible for this unpleasant incident,” SDPI vice president Martis alleged while seeking serious action against the miscreants.
Meanwhile, Puttur sub division superintendent police Gana P Kumar was reported at the site. Kadaba station investigation SI Shrikanth Rathore and others were present.

Trump says he ‘hasn’t even thought about’ continuing Iran ceasefire
Washington: US President Donald Trump has said he has not yet considered whether he would continue the ceasefire involving Iran, while also claiming the United States holds the advantage in negotiations.
Speaking to reporters, Trump said he was prepared to make a deal with “whoever is running the show” in Iran.
“They are fighting with each other, there’s tremendous infighting. They’re probably fighting for leadership in many cases. I think they’re fighting not to be leader because we knocked out two levels of leaders,” he said.
Trump added, “When they want they can call me. We have all the cards, we’ve won everything.”
Referring to ongoing negotiations, he said, “They gave us a paper that should’ve been better. And, interestingly, immediately when I cancelled it [envoy trip to Pakistan], within 10 minutes we got a new paper that was much better.”
“We talked about they will not have a nuclear weapon, very simple … They offered a lot, but not enough,” he added.
When asked whether he would continue the ceasefire, Trump replied, “I haven’t even thought about it.”
The remarks come as uncertainty remains over the future of the temporary truce and broader negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
