Bengaluru, Nov 4: Regardless of opposition from the Sangh Parivar, the chief minister H D Kumaraswamy led Karnataka state government is determined to celebrate Tipu Jayanti on November 10. With this the fight in the name of India’s legendary freedom fighter is expected to escalate ahead of the bypoll results.

"We have decided to celebrate Tipu Jayanti on November 10 in consultation with chief minister H D Kumaraswamy. BJP will be held responsible if there is any kind of untoward incident in the state on that day," said Kannada and culture minister Jayamala, following a meeting with food and civil supplies minister B Z Zameer Ahmed Khan here on Saturday.

Tipu Jayanti celebrations had caused a stir in the state since 2015, with clashes erupting in districts. In 2015, two people were killed in Madikeri when a group taking out a procession was stalled by VHP activists.

Last year, a (PIL) was filed in the Karnataka High Court, challenging the October 24, 2017, circular issued by the department of Kannada and culture for Tipu Jayanti celebrations throughout the state.

The HC had asked the state to file its objections to the PIL before November 2018.

However, the state failed to file objections, forcing the court to impose a fine of Rs 1,000 on the state government. The court will hear the case next on November 9.

The opposition BJP, Tipu Jayanti Virodhi Horatta Samiti and some right-wing organisations have already threatened to launch a protest to oppose the celebrations. They had earlier petitioned Kumaraswamy, who had also opposed the Jayanti celebrations while in the opposition, during the previous Congress regime.

Meanwhile, some pro-Tipu Jayanti activists have also taken objection to Jayamala's statement that the BJP will be held accountable for any violence during Tipu Jayanti. "The state government and minister should ensure proper security for people to prevent any untoward incident. Her helpless statement clearly indicates that the government is anticipating violence but has no clue how to prevent it," they said.

A Tragic End—Mortal Remains of Entrepreneur Mumtaz Ali Found In River

News Network

October 7,2024

Mangaluru, Oct 7: In a heartbreaking turn of events, the search for Mumtaz Ali, chairman of Misbah Group of Educational Institutions, ended with the discovery of his mortal remains in the Phalguni river near Kulur. The somber discovery came after an exhaustive search, leaving a community in shock and sorrow.

He is the younger brother of former MLA Mohuiddin Bawa and former MLC B M Farookh.

The incident has taken a deeply distressing turn with the filing of an FIR against six individuals, including a woman, who are accused of pushing Ali to a tragic end.

The accused allegedly blackmailed Ali, fabricating a story about his involvement in an illicit relationship with the woman. Reports suggest that they extorted Rs 50 lakh from Ali and were unrelenting, demanding an additional Rs 50 lakh from him, casting a shadow over his final days.

The complaint, lodged by Ali’s grieving brother, accuses these individuals of driving him to despair through relentless blackmail and false accusations, ultimately leading him to take the tragic step.

In the early hours of Sunday, Ali left his home at 3 am, heading towards Suratkal, perhaps seeking some solace. A minor accident occurred when his car collided with a private bus near MCF. Despite the mishap, he offered a heartfelt apology to the bus driver and conductor—a gesture that now echoes with the pain of his unspoken struggles. After the collision, Ali made a U-turn near Panambur circle, driving back towards Kulur bridge, where his journey came to a sorrowful end.

Ali’s last moments hold an even deeper sadness, as he left behind a voice message in Byari, naming an individual who had been tormenting him mentally. Sent to his daughter and a close friend, the message revealed the unbearable burden he was carrying, hinting at his final decision to end his suffering.

This tragic loss has left the community and his loved ones grappling with unanswered questions and a profound sense of grief. As the investigation unfolds, the memory of Mumtaz Ali lingers, a reminder of the silent battles that too often go unseen.
