Concern over media campaign against Muslim community in 'terror reports'

September 6, 2012

Bangalore, September 6: Karnataka Komu Souharda Vedike has urged the government to appoint efficient and secular police officials to probe the charges levelled against Muslim youths recently arrested in Bangalore and Hubli on terror charges.

Addressing media persons here on Wednesday, representatives of the KKSV, including the former MLC A.K. Subbaiah, the former Minister B.T. Lalita Naik, president of KKSV K.L. Ashok and professor Nagaragere Ramesh regretted that a section of the media was “targeting” and “campaigning” against one community in their reportage.

Clarifying that they were not against punishing the guilty, the KKSV leaders pleaded for an impartial inquiry into the allegation.

They recalled that there had been instances of innocents being arrested in the past, which should not be repeated. Contradictions in the First Information Report (FIR) filed against the accused had led to suspicion, said Mr. Subbaiah. “Statements by the parents of accused and FIR were contradictory with regard to the time of arrest and other details,” he said.

The Bharatiya Janata Party had a tendency to create communal divide during the election year to consolidate its vote bank, alleged Ms. Naik. Police were making selected leaks to a section of the media, based on which the media was portraying a community in bad light, Mr. Ashok said.

Mangaluru: 33-year-old lecturer dies after selfless liver donation, leaves behind 4-year-old son

Mangaluru: In an act of extraordinary selflessness, a young lecturer and mother, Archana Kamath, tragically passed away just days after donating a portion of her liver to a relative. She was 33.

Archana, who had devoted her career to shaping young minds as a lecturer at Canara College and most recently at Manel Srinivasa Nayak MBA College, was a loving mother to a four-year-old boy. Her sudden passing has left her family, students, and colleagues reeling in shock and grief.

The story of her untimely demise began when a relative of her husband, CA Chethan Kumar, required a life-saving liver transplant.

With no other matching donors in sight, Archana stepped forward, her heart full of compassion. Her blood type matched, and without hesitation, she made the brave decision to donate a part of her liver—an act that would ultimately cost her life.

The surgery, performed 12 days ago in Bengaluru, seemed successful. Archana appeared to recover well and was discharged, bringing hope and relief to her loved ones.

But just days after returning home, she suddenly fell ill and passed away on September 15 in a Mangaluru hospital. The cause of her sudden decline remains a mystery, compounding the sorrow of those who knew and loved her.

Her final act of love saved a life—the relative who received her liver is said to be recovering well. But Archana’s loss is felt deeply by her husband and their young son, who are now left to navigate a world without her warmth and strength.

As family and friends grapple with this tragic turn of events, Archana’s memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew her as a caring educator, devoted mother, and a woman whose ultimate sacrifice was made out of love.

The full story of her passing is still unfolding, and her untimely death has left an irreplaceable void in the lives of all who knew her.
