Stop arresting our workers in Perduru incident: Karandlaje
BJP workers stage protest against arresting Sangh Parivar workers
Udupi, June 6: Lok Sabha Member Shobha Karandlaje urged the authorities not to arrest the Sangh Parivar workers in the Perduru incident till they receive the FSL report on the suspicious death of cattle trader Hussainabba, as the workers have done their work legally.
Alleging that the state government has been torturing the workers of Hindu organizations and BJP by arresting them in Hussainabba death case, the BJP workers staged a protest in front of the deputy commissioner’s office here on Wednesday.
Police should use their lathis and pistols to arrest cattle thieves. This problem could be solved by implementing the Anti Cow Slaughter Act effectively. Higher officers in the police department have been putting pressure on the local officers of the department, she said.
Those who have been transporting the cattle have themselves damaged the Scorpio vehicle. Workers of Hindu organizations have not done anything. It was decided at a meeting of the organization that the workers should not take law into their hands and as soon as they notice illegal cattle transportation, they were asked to inform the police, she added.
“As Hussainabba died in the police custody, it should be handed over to CID investigation. But we would not believe that we would get justice from the CID. Even then, we will wait for the FSL report. If the report suggested that Hussainabba died due to heart attack, then this issue would not have any significance. Nobody would become accused. We would decide on the nature of investigation only after getting the FSL report”, she said.
‘Didn’t cattle have value for the lives?’
MLA K Raghupathi Bhat said that while transportation, two cows were killed. Everybody talks about the death of Hussainabba and nobody talks about the death of the cows. Didn’t they have value for their life, he asked.
If the investigation into this case is handed over to the CID, some more innocent workers would be arrested. As there is political interference in the CID, it should be handed over to the CBI probe, he demanded.
BJP district president Mattar Rathnakar Hegde, MLA Haladi Srinivas Shetty, MLC Kota Srinivas Poojary, leaders Lalji Mendon, Sunilk KR,Vilas Nayak and others spoke on the occasion.
Leaders Uday Kumar Shetty, Thingale Vikramarjuna Hegde, Nayana Ganesh, Sheel K Shetty, Shamala Kundar, Geetanjali Suvarna, Shilpa Suvarna, Suresh Shetty Gurme, Prabhakar Poojary, Suresh Nayak Kuyiladi, Kutyaru Naveen Shetty and others were present.

Pakistan reports two more polio cases; Total tally now 52
ISLAMABAD: At least two more cases of poliovirus were reported in Pakistan, taking the number of infections to 52 so far this year, a report said on Friday.
“The Regional Reference Laboratory for Polio Eradication at the National Institute of Health has confirmed the detection of two more wild poliovirus type 1 (WPV1) cases in Pakistan," an official statement said.
The fresh infections — a boy and a girl — were reported from the Dera Ismail Khan district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province.
“Genetic sequencing of the samples collected from the children is underway," the statement read. Dera Ismail Khan, one of the seven polio-endemic districts of southern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, has reported five polio cases so far this year.
Of the 52 cases in the country this year, 24 are from Balochistan, 13 from Sindh, 13 from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and one each from Punjab and Islamabad.
There is no cure for polio. Only multiple doses of the oral polio vaccine and completion of the routine vaccination schedule for all children under the age of five can keep them protected.
