    What an irony !!!! While the whole world is helping and praying for India, our own "spineless" people are the main reason for spreading the virus. Where is the value for peoples prayers and feelings ??? Instead of offering prayers for such people, I wish that those were a part of it SHOULD get infected - no mercy whatsoever - let them go to hell !!

    Honorable HC can take suo moto action against the offenders who seem to have done a serious offense by putting 1000s of innocent lives at risk if they were to catch the infection due to this congregation conducted during a serious pandemic despite prior warnings!

    When such a big event was being organized despite tahsildars notice, it's not possible that the law enforcement agencies did not have confirmed knowledge about it? Question is why preventive action was not taken & the not allow the congregation to happen in the first place? Now that the damage has been done, get ready to face the consequences! The organizers should have been already behind bars under the national disaster act, by now???

    An FIR has been registered against the Someshwar temple management committee and its president at the Ullal police station for holding Brahmakalashotsava on Wednesday, April 28....... Why the organizing committee / the President is not arrested??? Where were the cops during this mass gathering? why not lathi charge happened??? What a politics. and people are quite for what???? as they are polity-religion. Again, please don't mix-up the politics and religion. If you do so we will face the same devastating problems. Let us keep the religion/cast at home or within, and bring the politics on public utilization/welfare. Politicians are paid from our money (tax), let them work for the public. The amount of salary they are getting is not agreed by the public??? so they are not bothered by these events.
