State-sponsored terrorism most dangerous: Dr Shridhar

Mangalore, February 27: Using the general assumption that 'all terrorists are Muslims', to achieve their fanatic ends the advocates of 'Hindutva' in this country have resorted to violence and terrorism without any hesitation, said Dr Shridhar, activist and HOD of English, Vijaya College Bangalore.

Speaking on the topic “Terrorism: Myth Exposed”, at a seminar organised at Don Bosco Hall here as part of first ever state level conference of Campus Front of India (CFI) on Sunday, he stated that Hindutva is among those dangerous terrorist ideologies, which do not have any concern for human values.

“In the sense, some terrorist organisations may possess some kind of positive thoughts, but the ultimate aim of 'Hindutva' terrorism is re-establishing the caste based political system in the subcontinent through waging war against democracy”, he said adding that all types of terrorism are condemnable.

Expressing grave concern over the tactics of 'Hindutva' terrorists in India, he said that its elements have succeeded to form a dangerous nexus with some high ranking military officers like Lt. Col. Shrikant Prasad Purohit, and even a 'terrorist state' like Israel.

Dr Shridhar also expressed frustration over the negligence of the Indian government towards the anti-social and illegal activities of the leaders propounding Hindutva, which may lead to destruction. “It is very sad that no one bothered about the attitude of BJP chief Nithin Gadkari, who urged Isreali military and police to provide training to Hindutva activists,” he lamented.

State Terrorism is most dangerous

Dr Shridhar said that there is a common misconception that terrorism is confined only to disgruntled and misled people, while the terrorism being unleashed by rulers of the states and countries on their own people is the most dangerous one.

“No terrorist organisation can beat the cruelty of governments of United States of America and Israel,” he said adding: “However, this state sponsored terrorism has been disguised under various names such as “war on terror” and “fight for democracy”.

Constitution sidelined

Speaking on the topic “Six decades of Indian Democracy”, popular columnist and Human Rights activist Shivasundar said that the successive governments of the country have brushed aside the values of Indian constitution, which upholds equality and Justice.


Indian politicians have well understood how to manipulate the large number of middleclass people and students without fulfilling their needs and rights. “Our rulers have understood that they cannot survive if they face the anger of common people and students and hence they successfully planned to push them into corruption,” he said.

“If the common man of a country fails to question the rulers, there will be no hurdle for the latter to sideline the constitution and act according to their will”, he said.

Activist Pattabhirama Somayaji spoke on “Neoliberal Assault on Education”, while CFI Central Advisory Committee Chairman Anees Ahmed, delivered keynote address on “Where India is heading?”

That is because the e-cigs are much more efficient in keeping the blood nicotine
levels above the threshold that triggers a normal smoker to reach for another cigarette.

This should not be a problem since as longg as they have
a portable charger and access to a regular house outlet they can easily plug it anywhere.
This includes on airplanes, thhe bus, and in restaurants and hospitals.

Bengaluru: The Karnataka government has warned that disciplinary action will be taken against those officials who change the land mutation records and serve eviction notices to farmers under the Waqf Act.

In a letter, the Revenue Department Principal Secretary Rajender Kumar Kataria reminded all regional commissioners and deputy commissioners in the districts that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah recently had a meeting following complaints about certain land properties being made in favour of the Karnataka Board of Waqfs.

In the meeting it was decided that all the directions issued previously by any government office or authority to change the mutation records has been withdrawn, the letter said.

It added that all the notices served in the past have also been withdrawn and no action should be taken against the farmers who are cultivating on the said land.

On the directions of the chief minister, the previous letters and the latest reminders served on November 7 to the farmers and land owners have been withdraw, the letter said.

"The officials who served reminder-2 despite the chief minister's direction will face appropriate disciplinary action," Kataria said in his letter.

He said he has been instructed to strictly implement the chief minister's direction.

The fresh direction was issued in poll-bound Karnataka, where bypolls to three crucial assembly segments are due on November 13.

Some farmers in Honwad village in Vijayapura in north Karnataka had alleged last month that they were served eviction notices as the Waqf Board claimed rights over it.

Subsequently, complaints started in pouring in from some other parts of the state.

BJP leader Tejasvi Surya on October 25 alleged that Karnataka Waqf Minister B Z Zameer Ahmed Khan directed the deputy commissioners and revenue officials to register lands in favour of the Waqf Board within 15 days, which resulted in confusion.

On Surya's request, the Chairman of the Joint Committee of Parliament on the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, Jagdambika Pal visited Karnataka on November 7 and met farmers in Hubballi, Vijayapura and Belagavi districts who had alleged that their lands were marked as Waqf properties.

vikramgowda.jpg

The Karnataka Police’s Anti-Naxal Force (ANF) achieved a major breakthrough on Monday night by eliminating Vikram Gowda, one of Karnataka’s most wanted Naxal leaders for over two decades. The encounter occurred in the dense Kabbinale forest of Udupi district, marking a significant victory against Naxal insurgency in the region.

Who Was Vikram Gowda?

Hailing from Hebri in Udupi, Vikram Gowda, 44, was a prominent figure in the Naxal movement. He went underground in 2002, initially serving as a courier and fund collector before rising to lead a breakaway Naxal group. Despite having only a fourth-grade education, he was a staunch advocate for tribal rights and a key player in the movement’s survival in Karnataka.

Bounty: ₹3 lakh from Karnataka and ₹50,000 from Kerala.

Legacy: The last major Naxal leader in Karnataka after the 2021 arrest of B G Krishnamurthy.

The Encounter

Police revealed that Gowda and his team visited Kabbinale village to collect groceries on Monday night. Acting on a tip-off, ANF ambushed the group. When the Naxals opened fire, ANF responded, leading to Gowda's death.

Escapees: Three Naxals fled, including prominent members Latha (aka Mundgaru Latha) and Raju.

Significance: This was the first Naxal casualty in Karnataka in over two decades.

Home Minister G. Parameshwara confirmed the operation, stating, “Gowda was elusive for 20 years, escaping multiple encounters. His death is a critical step in dismantling Naxal operations in the region.”

The Decline of Naxal Activity in Karnataka

Karnataka's Naxal movement has been dwindling, with members seeking refuge in Kerala and Tamil Nadu. The group’s strength had reduced to just 19 members by 2018, but recent sightings indicate attempts at revival:

2023 Activity: Reports of Gowda-led movements in the Kodagu and Hassan districts reignited concerns.

Political Heat: The BJP criticised the Congress government, alleging it created a “safe haven” for Naxals.

A Glimpse into Gowda’s Past

Personal Life: Gowda’s ex-wife, Savitri (alias Rajita), was arrested in 2021. She was a senior Naxal commander involved in insurgency since 2004.
Rehabilitation Efforts: Since 2013, Karnataka’s rehabilitation policy has seen 14 Naxals surrender and reintegrate into mainstream society.

A Milestone in Karnataka’s Fight Against Insurgency

The operation signifies a decisive blow to Naxal resurgence in the Western Ghats. While the ANF continues its search for escapees, the Karnataka government reaffirmed its commitment to offering rehabilitation to those willing to surrender.

As Karnataka celebrates this triumph, the message is clear: there is no room for insurgency in the state.
