Party workers gherao district in-charge minister in Udupi
Express wrath over Bharat Bandh, demand transfer of SP
Udupi, October 02: Woman and Child Welfare and Kannada and Culture department and District in-charge minister Dr Jayamala on Tuesday faced an embarrassing situation at the party office as her own party workers gheraoed her.
After participating in the ‘Gandhi-150’ programme at the party office, he was speaking to party workers for some time. When she was about to leave the party office, Youth Congress workers gheraoed her and expressed their wrath.
The party workers said that the district minister did not come to their rescue in related to untoward incidents, clash and lathicharge in front of the SP office during Bharat Bandh. They said that the district minister did not listen to their problems.
“When the party workers were caned and admitted to hospital for treatment, the district minister did not listen to their grievances and enquired about their health. Instead of it, the minister has gone to the house of SP, and had food. As party workers, we want justice. So, you should transfer the SP immediately”, the party workers demanded.
Responding to the sudden development, the Minister said that she had spoken to the SP over phone as soon as she came to know about the issue and even she had spoken to the district leaders as well. “Don’t try to threaten me keeping the media people here”, she vented her ire against the party workers and left the place.
Councillor Ramesh Kanchan, workers Vishwas Amin, Manjunath Uppur and others were present on the occasion.

Sheena Bora case: Indrani Mukerjea moves SC, seeks permission to travel abroad
New Delhi, Nov 26: Former media executive Indrani Mukerjea, accused of killing her daughter Sheena Bora, has moved the Supreme Court challenging the Bombay High Court ruling denying her to travel abroad.
A special court on July 19 allowed Mukerjea's plea to travel to Spain and the UK for 10 days between intermittent periods over the next three months.
The CBI approached the high court challenging the order passed by the special court but the high court quashed the special court order on September 27.
Mukerjea has now moved the apex court challenging the high court's verdict.
In her plea filed in the top court through advocate Sana Raees Khan, Mukerjea said she was a British citizen, and sought permission to visit Spain and her home country for "making necessary changes and amendments and taking care of pending work which cannot be transacted without her personal presence".
She argued the activation of a digital certificate was a must for all relevant work and administration in Spain and her physical presence was mandatory.
In its verdict, the high court noted Mukerjea wanted to travel abroad on the ground that she was a British national and was required to execute documents regarding her bank account and perform other work in Spain and the UK.
While setting aside the special court's order, the high court said if Mukerjea wished to perform these works from India, the statutory authorities back home would extend her the necessary support with the assistance of Embassy of Spain and the UK.
Mukerjea was arrested in August 2015 after the murder of Bora came to light. In May 2022, she was granted bail by the Supreme Court.
She has denied the allegations.
Bora (24) was allegedly strangled to death in a car by Mukerjea, her then-driver Shyamvar Rai and former husband Sanjeev Khanna in April 2012 in Mumbai. Her body was then burnt in a forest in the neighbouring Raigad district, according to the prosecution.
Bora was Mukerjea's daughter from her previous relationship.
The killing came to light in 2015 when Rai reportedly revealed about it during interrogation by police after his arrest in a separate case registered under the Arms Act.
Mukerjea's ex-husband Peter Mukerjea was also arrested for allegedly being a part of the conspiracy linked to the murder, probed by the CBI.
All the accused are currently out on bail.
