Thokkottu, Dec 30: Condemning the delay in completion of Thokkottu flyover works by December 30 as announced by MP Nalin Kumar Kateel and inaction of National Highway Authority, the DYFI activists conducted a mock inauguration of the flyover by taking the persons wearing the masks of PM Narendra Modi, Nitin Gadkari and Nalin Kumar Kateel, here on Sunday.

Addressing the gathering, DYFI district secretary Santhosh Bajal said that the Modi government which came to power promising Achhe Din has completely failed even providing a good road. Pumpwell and Thokkottu roads in Mangaluru were fine examples for Modi government's achievement. In order to educate the people about false promises and lies of MP Nalin Kumar Kateel, they have conducted the mock inauguration. At least now, the MP should stop giving false promises and prove himself through works, he said.

CPIM zonal secretary Krishnappa Salian, Congress spokesman Farooq Ullala, Gadinadu Rakshana Vedike president Siddiq Talapady spoke on the occasion.

Kotekar Beedi Union president Padmavathi M Shetty, labour leader Jayanth Nayak, Mahabala Deppalimar, DYFI leaders Razaq Montepadavu, Sunil Thevula, Ashraf KC Road, Haneef Harekala, Ashraf Harekala and others were present.

Tehran: Iran’s ILNA News Agency has reported that former president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was killed during the ongoing US and Israeli attacks.

According to ILNA, Ahmadinejad was killed following strikes in Tehran’s Narmak district, including an attack on his residence. The report said he died along with his bodyguards.

News of the deaths of three of Ahmadinejad’s bodyguards was released on February 28, coinciding with the first day of the US and Israeli attacks on Iran.

Ahmadinejad served as Iran’s president from 2005 to 2013. He was widely known internationally for his hardline rhetoric against Israel and for accelerating Iran’s nuclear programme during his tenure. At home, his disputed re-election in 2009 led to the “Green Movement” protests across the country.

In recent years, Ahmadinejad had positioned himself as a populist critic of the current ruling establishment, though he continued to serve as a member of the Expediency Discernment Council, the body currently involved in helping shape temporary leadership arrangements.
