Life of Madhukar Shetty itself is a message to the youth: DCP Abdul Ahad Puthige
Udupi, Jan 11: Bengaluru Whitefield DCP Abdul Ahad Puthige said that for the first time, IPS officer Madhukar Shetty entered into the Legislators Home in Bengaluru and arrested a corrupt MLA.
He was speaking at a programme organized to pay respect to senior IPS officer late Madhukar Shetty, by Udupi district Muslim Okkoota at Ammanni Ramanna Shetty Auditorium here on Friday. He said that Madhukar Shetty played a major role in punishing those who were involved in Bellari illegal mining. The life of Madhukar Shetty itself was a message to the youth. The onus of continuing his message was on people now.
“We could pay our respect just by working against the corruption and helping the oppressed classes and raising voice in favour of the truth and justice. Madhukar Shetty had clear vision on checking corruption. He believed that corruption could not be checked just by arresting the clerks or constables. Instead, one has to find out the root cause of corruption. If he was given just two more years time and support, he would have completely controlled the corrupt activities in the state ”, Ahad Puthige opined.

Lok Sabha adjourned till 12 noon over Adani, Sambhal issues
New Delhi (PTI): Lok Sabha proceedings were adjourned till 12 noon on Thursday amid protests by Opposition members over the Adani issue, violence in Uttar Pradesh's Sambhal and other issues.
As soon as the House met for the day, Congress leaders Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, who was elected from Kerala's Wayanad in the recent bypoll, and Ravindra Vasantrao Chavan, who was elected from Maharashtra's Nanded, took oath as Lok Sabha MPs.
Immediately after the oath taking of the two new members, many Opposition members, including from the Congress, were on their feet as they sought to raise issues related to the allegations against the Adani Group and other issues.
Some members from the Congress and Samajwadi Party were in the Well while other Opposition members stood in the aisle and shouted slogans.
Speaker Om Birla asked the Opposition members to allow the Question Hour and said they can take up their issues later.
"I have been giving you enough opportunities to raise your issues and will continue to do so in future. But your way of systematic blockade of the proceedings is not acceptable. The issue which you want to raise has nothing to do with the country," he told the protesting members.
Birla said people have chosen the MPs as their representatives to raise the genuine issue of the people but they were resorting to disrupt the proceedings of the House which is not good.
He said there were difference of opinions in the Constituent Assembly too but those were raised in dignified manners.
Amid the din, one question was taken up.
As the protests continued, the Speaker adjourned the House will 12 noon.
The Opposition members wanted to discuss the Adani controversy and the recent violence in Sambhal.
The Adani Group said on Wednesday that Gautam Adani, and his nephew Sagar have not been charged with any violation of the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) in the indictment that authorities filed in the New York court in an alleged bribery case.
