Bengaluru: Governor reluctant to sign Kambala bill - forwards it to President


Daijiworld Media Network - Bengaluru (SP)

Bengaluru, Feb 21: Hopes of thousands of die hard fans of Kambala and owners of pairs of buffaloes, of beginning to organize the folk sport of coastal Karnataka, Kambala, on an early date after the sport was suspended in connection with concerns over violence to animals raised by People for Ethical Treatment of Animals, were dashed when governor of Karnataka, Vajubhai Vala, showed reluctance to give his assent to the Kambala bill that was passed by both the houses of the state legislature. Instead, the governor has forwarded the bill for Presidential approval.

It is being said that the governor refused to give the bill the status of law by signing it as he feels that the ammendment brought to the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act 1960 of the central government by the state needs the approval of the President. Both the secretariat of the chief minister and law minister have got information from the office of the governor about this aspect.


Governor

The state government had passed the bill with a view to encourage traditions and ancient cultures, apart from giving impetus to local culture and indigenous species of bullocks and also to allow popular sports of north Karnataka, buffalo race and bullock cart race.

When Tamil Nadu government brought out ordinance to pave way for holding Jallikattu in that state and also when it passed ammendment to the act, Presidential assent had been obtained. Therefore, the state governor had sought legal advice about the propriety of giving his stamp of approval to Kambala bill. As legal experts gave the opinion that it would be more appropriate for the President to give assent to the bill, the governor has forwarded this ammendment bill to the President, sources stated.

    Governor belongs to BJP and people of the state should assume that BJP is against Kambala though indirectly.

    Kambala is a Tulunadu identity and needs to be protected for our future generation.People are focusing on Kambala only but least bothered for implementing Tulu language as a constituent of 8th schedule of the constitution.Though sometimes back there was big move in this direction but later took a back seat,now totally forgotten.It is very important to press for adition of Tulu language in the 8th schedule of the constitution then only language can be developed and taught in schools as a recognised language.MP Nalin Kumar Kateel should strive for this in a greater way because ball is in our court now.

    Difference between Karnataka Governor & Kerala Governor

    1. Karnataka Governor could not take simple decision to pass Kambala Bill which is part of Tulu Nadu's culture..In 1000 years of Kambala History, not even a single buffalo died due to Kambala race...

    2. Yestrday Kerala Governor tore bill passed by CPI(M) Govt to release 1,850 criminals from jail which included Supari Killers, Rapists,Child Rapists, drug mafia king, ,smugglers..(Kerala Governor is a ex-Chief Judge who took one of the best decisions of his life even after retirement)..Communist Party in Kerala disappointed every one, Even in actess Bhavana molestation case, there is a rumor that one superstar and 2 CPI(M) leaders' son had planned it..

    Whatever may happen, one thing should be done first. Aadhar card, should be made compulsory to all Buffaloes taking part in Kambala.
    And regarding going to Delhi, well, our Buffaloes doesn't prefer North-Indian food at all.
