Mangalore, Dec 18: Vexed over BJP leader Dr Subramanian Swamy's remarks against Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi, the party workers in Mangalore on Tuesday gheraoed Circuit House where the former was staying.

On Tuesday, Dr Swamy delivered a lecture on “Present political situation and relevance of Narendra Modi's leadership” at AB Shetty Hall in the city.

He termed Rahul Gandhi as a 'Buddhu and drug addict' who has zero potential.

Mounting a personal attack on Rahul Gandhi, he also said, Rahul Gandhi is an idiot, no knowledge of politics and is into cocaine, which apparently suggests that he is a drug addict.

Irked over his “low-level” remarks a group of congress men led by MLA J R Lobo, Youth Congress president Mithun Rai raised the slogans against Swamy and demanded to apologise.

Dr Swamy had said that Narendra Modi had no challenges and congress has no candidates to field for prime ministers race. “Congress chief, Sonia Ghandhi wants to field Rahul Ghandi, who has zero potential. But with this country has challenges created by present government,” he said.

Swamy said India has five challenges like corruption, collapse of economy, threat on national security, reputation in world and 'participation note'.

“Since country is led by congress party, economical inflation is taking place. Corruption is ruling nation and leading in fall in rupee value against dollar. Crores of 'black money' being deposited in foreign countries and led the commoners to suffer. This situation created threat from Pakhistani agencies to create threat to internal security and they have every record of corrupt politician's black money,” he stated.

Further he said, 'participation notes' are the worst part of corruption, where Indian rupee spent in buying foreign currency through illegal transaction. Later same invested in India through foreign direct investment with the help of some other countries and take tax benefits. This is a major threat to every sector in country, he said adding that, “If all the black money is bought back to India, then we have no need to pay tax in future,” he added.

“Due to flow of black money in country production cost of goods and land value is increasing. Another side P Chidambaram, finance minister is promoting corruption. 2G spectrum scam and allowing Wall-mart in Indian market are among those. Through 'forward trading' many farmers are looted and consumers are kept away from market fluctuation in agricultural product,” said Dr Swamy.

Lamenting congress led UPA government country he said, if the BJP comes into power in state then in another five years of rule rupee value will be bought into 10:1$. I have caught many corrupt leaders and I am waiting to catch P Chidambaram's scams, he said.

However, to secure a developing country the technology has to be grown. Even the education has to be given to all. This will help in having a corruption free nation, he opined.

Muslims have to accept their ancestors were Hindus

Taliban is a threat to India. But able leadership can make them to get scared of India and country need an eligible leader.

“Even the Muslims have to accept that we are all Hindustanis and their ancestors were also Hindus. Every religion is interlinked and in past we were divided as caste for the social change. But present we are all inter depended and no need of caste tagline, he said.

Meanwhile Dr Subramanian Swamy released a book 'The Tyrant of Mysore” by Sandeep Balakrishnan on Tipu Sulthan.

President of Shrinivas Group of Colleges, A Raghavendra Rao and Chakravarthy Sulibele were the chief guest of the occasion.

New Delhi: The Supreme Court today sought a report from the Karnataka High Court over controversial remarks made by Justice Vedavyasachar Srishananda during a recent court hearing.

Justice Srishananda, while addressing a landlord-tenant dispute, referred to a Muslim-majority area in Bengaluru as "Pakistan" and made a misogynistic comment involving a woman lawyer. 

A five-judge bench led by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, along with Justices S Khanna, B R Gavai, S Kant, and H Roy, expressed the need for establishing clear guidelines for constitutional court judges regarding their remarks in court. 

The Supreme Court bench said that when social media plays an active role in monitoring and amplifying courtroom proceedings, there is an urgency to ensure judicial commentary aligns with the decorum expected from courts of law.

"Our attention has been drawn to some comments made by Karnataka High Court judge Justice V Srishananda during the conduct of judicial proceedings. We have asked the AG and SG to assist us. We ask the registrar general of the High Court to submit a report to this court after seeking administrative directions from the Chief Justice of Karnataka High Court. This exercise may be carried out in 2 weeks," the top court directed.

Videos of Justice Srishanananda have gone viral on social media.

In one video, he refers to a Muslim-dominated locality in Bengaluru as "Pakistan" and on another video he was seen making objectionable comments against a woman lawyer. In the second incident, Justice Srishanananda can be heard telling the woman lawyer that she seemed to know a lot about the "opposition party", so much so that she might be able to reveal the colour of their undergarments.

Mangaluru, Sep 19: Following the recent Nipah virus-related fatalities in Kerala, health authorities in Dakshina Kannada are taking proactive measures to monitor for potential cases of monkey fever. While typically found in African countries, monkey fever has raised concerns within the district, prompting increased vigilance.

To ensure early detection, travelers arriving at Mangaluru’s international airport and local ports will undergo health screenings. Additionally, a dedicated ambulance has been placed on standby for any emergent cases, and Wenlock Hospital has set aside a special ward with six reserved beds specifically for monkey fever patients.

"We currently have no confirmed cases of monkey fever in Dakshina Kannada, and there are no direct orders from the state government," said Dr. Timmaiah, the District Health Officer. "However, we are taking preventive measures, including continuous screening of incoming passengers. A special meeting is also being planned to discuss future action steps."

Dr. Timmaiah further highlighted the rise in general viral infections following the region's recent shift in weather patterns. "With the decline in rainfall, we are seeing an uptick in viral cases, particularly fevers accompanied by cough, cold, and throat pain, especially in children. Though Mangaluru has experienced mostly sunny weather, occasional rain at night has contributed to the spread of illnesses. It’s crucial for the public to remain vigilant and take preventive measures."

Health officials are urging residents to seek timely medical advice and follow recommended precautions to mitigate the spread of infectious diseases.
