Kasargod, Aug 16: Condemning the Karnataka government's restrictive measures undertaken at Kerala's border with that state, Manjeshwar MLA A K M Ashraf, sat on hunger strike for a day on Independence Day.

The Satyagraha he undertook in support of the concept, 'One India, One People' at Talapady was inaugurated by MP Rajmohan Unnithan. He termed the measures taken by Karnataka government to restrict inter-state movements in the guise of Covid19 are tantamount to snatching away the freedom of movement which the people enjoy. He urged the Karnataka government to immediately withdraw the restrictions.

The Satyagraha drew widespread support from different political parties and leaders of religious and social sectors and their workers.

United Democratic Front Manjeshwar block committee president T A Moosa, presided. Convener Manjunath Alva, Aziz Marike, Sundar Arikkady, zilla panchayat member Golden Rahman, member K Kamalakshi, Sameera Mumtaz, Somappa, Manjeshwar block Congress president D M K Muhammed, B Subaiah Rai, Enmakaje gram panchayat president Somashekhara J S, Sajid Mavval, Harshad Vorkady and others addressed the gathering in support of the demand of the agitators.

    Let him fast, fasting is good for health sometimes to shed excess fat. This is karnataka decision to allow or not allow for the safety of its people. See they r not maintaining social distance, no proper mask. Karnataka authorities should not yield to their flimsy demands.

    There should be total lockdown for atleast 6 months. All borders should be sealed. This is a very dangerous virus more than small pox. Be home be safe

    Readers, Karnataka state has a sacred duty, to protect its citizens from Covid19 pandemic and antinationals operating in Kerala. Why is North Kerala not developed ?? Why do they come in multitudes for education, health, employment opportunities in DK district ??? They have deliberately appeased their vote banks, which ultimately caused the revival of the third wave in South India !!!

    I'm not certain of the impositions you refer to. Over the last 1-2 months, I have gone to Kasaragod passport post office for passport renewal and akshaya centre for Aadhar card work. As well as Eye clinic and hospital for medical reasons. In all these places, staff are communicating in Kannada as well as Malayalam. As someone with family on both sides I was proud of that fact. Again, I'm not sure of the malayalam imposition in school. But in the ground, things are not like how you say. In fact, I have heard of Hindi Imposition on students recently which is another matter. The language studies among states is a topic for discussion surely we need reform and laws for children to choose more than 2 languages. But that is a countrywide issue and not specific to Kasaragod or Mangalore.

    This is because Mangalore hospitals, schools, colleges all depend on people of North Kerala. That is why the reputation of Mangalore institutions are getting a bad name.

    This is how we contain COVID from spreading . In Karnataka inter district travel are sometimes checked if the vehicle registration is from another state.

    If there was same political ruling party in both Karnataka & manjeshwar surely this problem wouldn't have come. Such restrictions are against 'One India one people'. Remove immediately such laws made by senseless......We are One India, one people.

    Will that stance be the same if places were reversed? Instead of fighting with karnataka you should really question your govt on their covid management. Everyday there is 20000 cases minimum...

    I wonder why you people failed to create basic infrastructure in education, trade and health sector even after 74 years of independence. That you needed to introspect yesterday, 75th independence day. Too much dependency on neighbor house , isn't it? If you follow *One India, One People* concept, why are you imposing Malayalam on Tulu speaking people of Kasaragod? Why are you changing Kannada sign boards? Practice before you speech.

    100% ture. Why do you impose Malayalm on Kannda schools, where there is Kannada as communicating languare, why did you impose Malayalam on every govt office of Kasargod, even on bank related work, any facility bills etc all in Malayalam. Why, WHy? why no response when Kannada speaking people request to have Kannada as their communication language in Kasaragod? why why?

    True....Pinarayi has money for airports in North Kerala to help his 'gold smugger' friends, Terrorists to reach Afganistan, Syria etc. from Kasargod to Mallapuram. But no money to build a proper hospital. They flock Mangalore/manipal. That is Commie "Kerala Model"
