'Modi'fication of politics, Ambanisation of economy; this is only fascism: Shivasundar
Udupi: 'Modi'fication of politics, Ambanisation of economy, Arnab Goswamisation of media; this is only fascism of this country. All these are interlinked, noted columnist Shivasundar.
He noted this while delivering a keynote address at 'Sarvajanotsava' convention, organised by Sahabalve Udupi at Royal Garden near Kalsanka on Sunday.
"In press freedom index, India had ranked 134 out of 180 countries in 2014. In past five years, India has risen to 138th position. Which means, Indian journalists are living in the worst conditions than that of Palestine, Sri Lanka and Pakistan. Similarly, In the Ease of Living Index, India has come down by 10 points," he observed.
"If India produced more than Rs 1 lakh crore in the previous year, Rs 28,000 crore of this has reached Ambani alone. 126 crore people are sharing only Rs. 65 crore," Shivasundar alleged.

Belagavi youth’s murder case projected as road accident, cracked in Uttara Kannada; Three arrested
Karwar: Uttara Kannada police have cracked a murder case in which a Belagavi youth was killed and his body burnt inside a car to make it appear like a road accident.
Addressing a press meet in the city, Superintendent of Police Deepan M.N. said three accused from Old Hubballi have been arrested in connection with the case. The crime was a pre-planned act driven by personal enmity, he said.
The case came to light on April 8 morning when a car (KA-04/MJ-8996) was found completely burnt in a roadside ditch near Talekumbri bus stand in Yellapur. Only charred human remains were found inside the vehicle. Initially, it was suspected to be an accident caused by overspeeding, and a case was registered at Yellapur police station based on a complaint filed by the deceased’s father, Jagannath Dhapale.
However, the father later expressed suspicion that his son’s death was not accidental, prompting a detailed investigation.
Taking the matter seriously, two special teams were formed under the leadership of Yellapur Inspector Ramesh Hanapur. On analysing technical evidence and CCTV footage, police found that it was a planned murder.
The accused have been identified as Abdul Raheem Basheer Ahmed Mujawar (32), Maulasab Bavahan Wada (36) and Dadapeer alias Aftab Mehboob Saab Balasangi (22), all chicken traders from Old Hubballi.
Police have seized the car used in the crime along with two scooters. The accused have been remanded to judicial custody.
Investigations revealed that the accused killed Nitesh Dhapale due to personal enmity and later set the car on fire along with the body to project it as an accident.
SP Deepan M.N. appreciated the efforts of Inspector Ramesh Hanapur, PSIs Rajashekhar Vandali and Siddappa Gudi, and the entire team for solving the complex case.
