Divide evident within JD(S) as D M Aslam raises in revolt against Dist Prez

Mangalore, October 15: It was evident that all is not well within the district Janata Dal (Secular) as DM Aslam, President, Minority Wing, Dakshina Kannada JD(S), rose in revolt against M B Sadashiva, District President, in the presence of media persons at a press meet organized by the party in the city.

District JD(S) had convened a press meet in Mangalore on Monday where B Nagaraj Shetty, Former Minister, was officially handed over the post of State Vice President of JD(S).

Trouble began even before the press meet started, when Mr. Aslam started complaining about him being asked to go back from the venue.

Briefing the media about the future course of action of the party in the district, Mr. Sadashiva said that many more leaders and activists are willing to join JD(S) and the second round of induction will be held at a programme on October 29 at Town Hall. “With newer people joining the party, a need has arisen to reform all our committees and hence, as per the direction of the State unit, all the block committees of the party in the district would be dissolved. We have to take into account the old activists of the party, their activeness and sacrifices and also the talent, skill and expertise that the newer lot would bring. We need to strike a balance and form these committees. To supervise the process, a committee will work in this regard comprising of myself, senior leaders Amarnath Shetty and Nagaraj Shetty, besides MG Hegde, Sushil Noranha and Aboobakkar Natekal”, said Mr. Sadashiva.

At this point, Mr. Aslam got up and objected to the inclusion of Mr. Natekal in the committee. “Aboobakkar Natekal has been inactive in the party for the past two years. Drop his name and include my name in the committee”, he demanded.

Mr. Aslam also criticized Mr. Sadashiva in the open and said that he is the one who needs to be ousted from the party first. He also said that he is not willing to stay in the party if Mr. Sadashiva continues in the office. “I will not work with him. Let them oust me” he said.

Shakuntala, Haladi to join JD(S)?

Responding to a query as to whether Shakuntala Shetty of BJP is also among the members to be inducted into JD(S) at the party programme scheduled for October 29, Mr. Sadashiva said that it is not apt for him to reveal the names now.

“It could be her, it could be Haladi Srinivas Shetty. We do not want to reveal it now. There is also an attempt from our side to hold on to some of these people who are willing to join us until that date as political equations keep changing”, he said.

In a heart-breaking incident, 19-year-old Shaun D'Souza, a native of Vittalwadi in Udupi's Kundapur taluk, tragically lost his life in the UAE due to heat stroke.

Shaun, the beloved son of Elias Cyril D'Souza and Pramila D'Souza, originally from Hosabettu, Moodbidri, had been pursuing his college education in the UAE.

He was admitted to a hospital in Ras Al Khaimah, approximately 115 km from Dubai, after collapsing from heatstroke. Despite receiving immediate medical attention, Shaun breathed his last on Sunday, September 15. 

He is deeply mourned by his parents and two siblings. The family, who had been residing near St. Mary's Church in the UAE, are grappling with the profound loss. Shaun’s father, Elias, works as a manager for a private company, while his mother, Pramila, is an accountant.

In a heartbreaking incident, a beautiful journey of love and new beginnings was abruptly shattered by a tragic accident on the Mangaluru-Bengaluru highway at Talapady in Bantwal taluk on Saturday, September 7.

Manasa, a newlywed bride, lost her life in a devastating car accident, leaving her husband, Aneesh Krishna, critically injured.

The couple, who had just begun their marital journey on September 5, was returning from a temple visit to settle dues when fate took a cruel turn. Their Alto car, in which they were traveling from B C Road towards Mangaluru, skidded off course after the driver lost control, causing the vehicle to jump the divider and collide head-on with a KSRTC bus.

In the blink of an eye, their world crumbled. The impact was so severe that their car was left mangled, with Manasa tragically losing her life at the scene. Aneesh, fighting for his life, has been rushed to a private hospital in Mangaluru.

Manasa and Aneesh, both professionals working in a private company in Mangaluru, had dreams of a life together, filled with shared moments and cherished memories. The couple's love story, celebrated just days ago with their wedding at the Denthadka Temple, now echoes in the hearts of their grieving families, forever marred by this tragic accident.

The Melkar police arrived swiftly at the scene and have begun their investigation, hoping to bring clarity to this devastating event.

In the aftermath of this tragic accident, the community mourns the loss of a young bride and prays for the recovery of a husband left fighting for his life.
