Road Controversy: St Aloysius College management sends notice to MCC and VBWO
Mangaluru, May.8: St Aloysius college management has issued notice to Mangaluru city corporation and Vijaya Bank workers' organisation over road controversy.
In 2017 Corporation had decided to rename St Aloysius road from Catholic club at Hampankatta to Dr B R Ambedkar circle (Jyothi circle) after founder of Vijay bank Mulky Sundararama Shetty road.
In its statement St Aloysious management has stated that the said road naming issue is pending before the High Court of Karnataka. The Writ petition filed by the Vijaya Bank Workers’ Organization had been dismissed by the High Court of Karnataka. Later, when a Writ appeal was filed, the High Court of Karnataka, while admitting the appeal, has Ordered that during the pendency of Writ appeal, status-quo as regards the name of the road as on May, 24, 2017 shall continue. Interpreting this as the final Order of the Court is highly misleading and motivated. No organization can erect any name board, organize any inauguration function, etc during the pendency of the appeal.
St Aloysius College has filed an appeal to accept it as an impleader in the case. It has also said that Mangalore City Corporation cannot grant permission for any such move.
The management also condemened the behaviour of some politicians for making irresponsible statements even when the matter is being sub-judice.
It has said that when the issue is pending for hearing in the High Court, any political statement or any provocative statement with an eye on election amounts to contempt of Court. St Aloysius management will bring all such public statements to the attention of the High Court for necessary action.

Informing Pakistan ahead of Operation Sindoor was a crime: Rahul Gandhi on Jaishankar's 'admission'
New Delhi, May 17 (PTI): Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday hit out at the government for "informing" Pakistan about targeting terror infrastructure as part of Operation Sindoor, saying it was a crime and asking who had authorised it.
In a post on X, Gandhi questioned External Affairs Minister (EAM) S Jaishankar for publicly admitting that the government of India (GOI) had informed Pakistan of the action and asked how many aircraft the Indian Air Force lost as a result.
"Informing Pakistan at the start of our attack was a crime. EAM has publicly admitted that GOI did it. Who authorised it? How many aircraft did our air force lose as a result?" said Gandhi, the leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha.
He also shared an undated video of Jaishankar saying India had informed Pakistan of the action against terror infrastructure on its soil.
Jaishankar can be heard saying in the video, "At the start of the operation, we had sent a message to Pakistan, saying, 'We are striking at terrorist infrastructure and we are not striking at the military.'"
"So the military has the option of standing out and not interfering in this process. They chose not to take that good advice," the minister can be heard saying in the clip.
The Press Information Bureau (PIB), however, has debunked claims that Jaishankar had said India informed Pakistan ahead of Operation Sindoor. In a post on X, the PIB's Fact Check Unit said the minister had not made any such statement and that he was being misquoted.
Operation Sindoor was the Indian offensive against terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) following the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam.
Informing Pakistan at the start of our attack was a crime.
