ABVP holds massive protest rally against technical problems in CET counseling

July 31, 2013

Mangalore, Jul 31: Hundreds of students under the banner of Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Pairshad on Wednesday staged a demonstration in the city protest against the technical problems in Common Entrance Examination (CET) counseling.

Waving saffron flags, the students took out a protest rally against the government from Hampankatta and converged in front of the office of deputy commissioner.

They were raising slogans urging the government to immediately solve the glitches in the CET counselling conducted by Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA).

Speaking on the occasion, K Ramesh, state secretary of ABVP alleged that because of the technical problems in online counselling, thousands of students could not fetch the engineering seats.

He criticised that counselling for diploma holders, who are seeking lateral entry admissions to engineering courses is not yet completed. "The delay in the completion of counselling is due to technical problems on KEA's website," he alleged.

Ramesh opposed the government's plan of banning students' union elections in the colleges.

Brahmin Savarkar was non-veg eater; wasn't against cow slaughter: Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao

Karnataka Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao reminded that V D Savarkar was not against cow slaughter as he himself was non-veg eater, PTI reported on Thursday.

"As a Brahmin he was eating meat, and he was openly propagating eating meat," said the minister at an event in Bengaluru.

Reacting to Gundu Rao's claim, BJP MP Anurag Thakur called Congress a "factory of lies" as he warned that India won't tolerate any disrespect towards Savarkar.

"By disrespecting Veer Savarkar they have shown that they don't respect freedom fighters. During the Congress government, Sardar Bhagat Singh was termed a separatist in textbooks...By making those who want to break the nation join the congress party, Rahul Gandhi is taking forward the ideology of 'tukde tukde' and he is a 'modern Jinnah' who speaks ill of the country abroad...," he said.

Meanwhile, a court in Maharashtra's Nashik district summoned Congress MP Rahul Gandhi earlier this week in a defamation case filed against him for his alleged objectionable remarks against the Hindutva ideologue.

The complainant, who is the director of an NGO, claimed he watched a press conference addressed by Gandhi in Hingoli and also a speech made by the Congress leader in November 2022.

He alleged that Gandhi, on the two occasions, by his words and visual representations knowingly harmed the reputation of Veer Savarkar and also tried to defame the latter's image in the society.

According to the complainant, Gandhi said "Savarkar is BJP and RSS jin" which was defamatory in nature.
