Kambala should be conducted as per norms: Advocate Rajashekar
Kambala Committee special meeting at Moodbidri
Moodbidri, September 23: “Kambala got the legal validity as all hurdles were cleared. But the PETA has filed petition before the Supreme Court questioning the Ordinance. Now, objection should be filed against the PETA application to avoid any obstacles to Kambala”, advocate Rajashekar who is arguing in favour of Kambala at High Court said.
Speaking at a special meeting organized by the Kambala Committee here on Sunday, he said that instead of making the Kambala Committee as the respondent, the PETA has made the State and Central governments as respondents. In view of this, efforts should be made to prevail upon the state High Court General and Solicitor General of the Central government to argue in favour of the Kambala. Till the application was solved, all Kambala committees should strictly follow the norms laid down by the governments in the Ordinance, he said.
Customs retired assistant commissioner Ermalu Rohit Hegde said that respective committees should give priority to conduct the Kambala as per the proposed norms. They should not use the buffalos which are not fit for Kambala. Instead of eying only for medals, they should give priority to the quality and the Kambala should be conducted as per the tradition, he said.
Moodabidri Kambala Committee President and MLA Umanath Kotian and former MLA Abhay Chandra Jain inaugurated the programme.
Kotian said that he has no experience in Kambala. But he would get the advice from the elders and Abhayachandra Jain to conduct the Kambala this year, he added.
District Kambala Committee honorary advisor Gunapala Kadamba, Abhayachandra Jain and others also spoke on the occasion. Committee former presidents Bhaskar S Kotian, Barkur Shantharam Shetty, Dr Jeevandar Ballal and others gave some suggestions. District Kambala Committee President P.R. Shetty presided over the meeting. It was also decided to convene a meeting again during Navarathri and prepare the time table of the Kambala.

Allahabad High Court directs Centre to decide on Rahul Gandhi's citizenship by December 19
Prayagraj: The Allahabad High Court has instructed the Union Home Ministry to decide on a petition regarding Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's Indian citizenship. The Bench, led by Justice Attau Rahman Masoodi and Justice Subhash Vidyarthi, set a deadline of December 19, 2024, for the government to update the Court on the matter.
The petition, filed by S Vignesh Shishir, requests a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into allegations that Rahul Gandhi holds British citizenship. Shishir claims that evidence, including confidential emails shared by VSS Sarma, suggests Gandhi may be a British citizen. However, due to UK data protection laws, the British government has not disclosed full details without Gandhi's consent.
During the November 25 hearing, Deputy Solicitor General SB Pandey informed the Court that the Home Ministry is reviewing the representation. The Court directed the government to report on the status of the petition by the next hearing on December 19.
A similar petition challenging Rahul Gandhi's citizenship is pending before the Delhi High Court, where the matter will be heard after the Allahabad High Court's proceedings.
