Mangaluru, Apr 5: Congress leader V.R. Sudarshan on Friday said the priority of the party is to undo the fear psychosis and hatred created by the NDA government in the country and the same has been brought out in its Lok Sabha poll manifesto.

Introducing the party manifesto in Mangaluru, Mr. Sudarshan told reporters that the NDA government has just created animosity between communities. As such, the Congress, has promised to wipe out them in its manifesto, he said.

Mr. Sudarshan said the ensuing Lok Sabha polls are not about any political party, but about two ideologies. The Congress, along with like-minded parties, is confident of defeating the BJP, he claimed.

Stating that the Congress is the one which acts as promised, Mr. Sudarshan noted that during the 10 year rule of the UPA, several progressive legislation, including the RTI Act, the food security Act, etc., were brought out.

On the other hand, the NDA government has miserably failed to deliver on its promises and instead ruined several institutions, including the judiciary, the CBI, the Income Tax Department, the Enforcement Directorate and the like.

After winning the polls, the Congress will have the onerous responsibility of rebuilding the Nehruvian legacy of modern India.

That was the reason the manifesto was brought out detailing the measures the party will take after coming to power. While the NDA is pro-rich favouring only a handful of 15, the Congress is pro-poor and pro-farmer, Mr. Sudarshan claimed. The manifesto has many promises, including simplified GST regime.

Responding to a question on Congress’ Prime Ministerial candidate, Mr. Sudarshan said India has the parliamentary system of democracy where elected representatives choose the Prime Minister.

It is not a presidential system where the head of the government is named before the elections. Lok Sabha members will choose the Prime Minister, he said.

On a question about party president Rahul Gandhi contesting from Kerala, Mr. Sudarshan said he obliged the Kerala party unit’s request.

His contest will infuse fresh zeal among party cadres in the South, he 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.
