Thokkottu, February 2: The top leaders of Indian Youth Congress (IYC) on Wednesday pledged to bring a change in Indian politics through opening the doors of politics for the youth, who dare to eradicate corruption from this country and there by restore the dignity of politics.

Large number of Congress workers from across the district converged at “Youth Awareness Convention” held at Thokkottu grounds, where their leaders vociferously lashed out at the "corrupt policies of Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa led government" of Karnataka and questioned the moral right of BJP high command to talk about corruption.

Addressing the crowd IYC President Rajiv Satav said the most urgent need of the time is change and youth of this country can surely bring it through active and effective participation in politics.

Calling upon the youth to enthusiastically enter politics through the Youth Congress, whose doors, according to him, are open for them irrespective of caste, creed and religion, Mr Satav stated that the positive use of youth power is very necessary for a desired change in Indian politics.

Pointing finger at the corrupt policies of Yeddyurappa government, he said: “Once the Karnataka had enjoyed numero uno position in the country in the field of development and science and technology. Yes, still it is enjoying the numero uno status, but, in corruption!”

He also criticised the saffron party's central leadership for backing the Karnataka government, although it is accredited as the most corrupt government in the entire country. “Once the BJP high command had spoken about the leadership change in Karnataka to save its face, but, after a closed door meeting with Yeddyurappa in New Delhi, they took a U-turn and shamelessly endorsed the most corrupt Chief Minister of the country,” he said adding that the CM might have threatened the high command of revealing their secrets if they went ahead with their plan to change the state leadership.

AICC Secretary and In-charge of IYC Jitendra Singh stated that it is impossible to cleanse politics if the young and non-corrupt blood did not flow into it in a greater quantity.

“Except the BJP leaders, no one is happy with the current politics, which is engulfed in corruption and confusion. To bring a change, which we need and we can, common man should join politics and re-establish the real spirit of democracy,” he said.

Applauding the effort of AICC General Secretary Rahul Gandhi, for bringing a change in the party through introducing new election process within the party instead of old undemocratic practices, Mr Singh said this change would reflect in the country's politics in the years to come.

Pradesh Youth Congress President Krishna Baire Gowda called upon the party activists to work hard to attract large number of youth during its membership drive, which is going to begin soon across the state.

IYC membership drive in-charge in Karnataka Shanimole Usman, former minister B Janardhana Poojary, DKCC President B Ramanatha Rai, MLA UT Khader and a galaxy of leaders of the party were present on the occasion.

Prior to the convention a vehicle rally was conducted from Mangalore to the venue.

Bengaluru, Mar 15: Former Karnataka chief minister and senior BJP leader B S Yediyurappa was booked under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (Pocso) Act on Thursday for allegedly sexually assaulting a minor at his residence in Bengaluru last month.

Yediyurappa, 81, was booked after a woman lodged a complaint saying that she visited his residence on February 2 seeking justice in a rape case against her daughter and sought that a special investigation team (SIT) be formed to look into the case.

According to the first information report (FIR), Yediyurappa allegedly took the minor to a room, closed the door and sexually assaulted her. The woman further alleged in the FIR that when she confronted Yediyurappa, he said that he was checking if the girl was raped or not. Yediyurappa later allegedly apologised and asked the woman not to reveal the matter to anyone.

The Sadashivanagar police in Bengaluru have registered a case under Section 8 (commit sexual assault) of the Pocso Act and Section 354 (a) (sexual harassment) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).

Reacting to the allegations, the former CM said that around one-and-a-half months ago, they (the victim and her mother) had come to his house seeking help and he had taken them inside. 

“After listening to her, I called the city police commissioner B Dayananda over phone seeking to address her problem. Later, they spoke against me and I then suspected that there is some health problem with her. I sent them to city police commissioner’s office. I even gave her some money as they were in distress. I came to know that an FIR has been registered and will look into it. But this is what I get for helping someone,” he added.

An Indian expatriate, hailing from Dakshina Kannada district in Karnataka, who was detained in Jeddah jail in an alleged cyber case, was set free recently. He is allowed to continue his work in the same company. 

The 49-year-old Mangalurean, has been working for a Maintenance company in Jeddah for more than 13 years. He is known for his efficiency and sincerity in the company with good experience in his field of work. 

His company usually assigned him on duty in Jeddah sea port to take the delivery of the goods consigned to his company. As a part of his duty, he normally takes pictures of the goods before the transportation. He did the same in February 2023 too. 

The security personnel informed the police about his act that amounts to be a violation of the port security rule. He was unaware of the rule as he was doing it normally in the port during the release of the goods. Since then, he was detained by the police on the charge of photographing inside the port premises. After more than 6 months detention, he was released and allowed to work in the same company. 

The detainee’s brother based in Jeddah was constantly pursuing the case.

P A Hameed Padubidri, a pro-bono NRI lawyer and social worker based in Riyadh, extended his socio-humanitarian help in this case upon the request of his family and relatives. 

He actively involved trying to set him free from the jail on humanitarian grounds with the coordination and help of the Consulate General of India (CGI) Jeddah. The CGI keenly followed up the case with the concerned Saudi authorities. He was released from the jail recently and shared his happiness with his family and thanked good samaritans.
