Mangaluru: KPCC general secretary PV Mohan has stated that RSS Chief’s remark that there is no Hindutva without Muslims is just a bogus statement.

Addressing a press meet at D.K district Congress Bhavan on Saturday, he said, "RSS was eyeing on Muslim votes and has issued such a statement to garner more votes for Prime Minister Narendra Modi. There can be peace and harmony in the nation only if the RSS is banned.

"The BJP is a sinking ship. Anyhow this has to be brought ashore. Therefore the RSS is struggling. The RSS, which does not talk about issues like Cauvery and Mahadayi, is helping BJP through raking up communal sentiments," Mohan alleged.

“The Narendra Modi-led central government is more dangerous than the erstwhile British rule.  It has implemented GST, note ban which were not discussed before polls. At the same time, it has failed to fulfill its poll promises on black money and to create employment,” he alleged.

“The Congress will be holding a Lok Sampark Abhiyan across the nation from October 2 to November 19. A 10-member team will be formed in 56 booths in the district. This team would serve as a service center,” he added.

The party's leaders Abdul Saleem, Neeraj Paul, Honnaya, Sumit, Nazir Bajal and others were present.

Saharsa (PTI): More than 150 children were taken ill after allegedly consuming food that was part of the mid-day meal in a school in Bihar’s Saharsa district, a senior official said on Thursday.

The incident occurred at a middle school in Baluaha village of the district.

The official said that 115 children were undergoing treatment at the Sadar Hospital, while around 50 students were admitted to Mahishi Public Health Centre.

“We received information that several children fell ill after consuming the mid-day meal in Baluaha. The children were initially treated at the primary health centre, but later, many were referred to the Sadar Hospital,” Saharsa District Magistrate Deepesh Kumar told reporters.

“According to doctors, the health condition of the children has improved, but they will be kept under observation for some time. There is no need to panic. Some kids are having mild fever. They are being treated accordingly,” Kumar said.

Meanwhile, family members of some children claimed that a snake was found in the container in which cooked pulses was stored at the school.

Of the 545 students present in the school, 200 had already eaten their meals by the time the snake was spotted, and later complained of stomach ache and vomiting, they said.

Regarding the claims, the DM said food samples have been collected from the school.

“We will be able to comment on this only after the results of the tested samples arrive,” he said.
