Kundapur: 'Stand by my statement on churches of Mudigere, Aldur' - MP Shobha


Silvester D’Souza

Daijiworld Media Network – Kundapur (EP)

Kundapur, May 25: Udupi-Chikkamagaluru MP Shobha reiterated her remark where she claimed churches in Mudigere and Aldur of Malnad region were discouraging people from getting inoculated. "I stand by my previous statement of churches misleading people on vaccination." She further stated that religious conversion of people belonging to scheduled caste and scheduled tribe is taking place in these churches.

Last week the MP had said that people were being misled when they visit the church. She further asked that a probe be conducted to know the person responsible for misleading the public. "I am not saying that the Catholics have done this, but other denominations of Christianity like Pentecost. People are being misled by the churches which have come recently. Proper action should be taken against them," she had said.

The MP's remarks had drawn strong criticism from various Christian organisations. Even Mangalore diocese and Catholic Sabha Udupi Pradesh strongly opposed the BJP MP's comments.

MP Shobha visits the land meant for installing oxygen plant

“The oxygen unit with a capacity of 500 litres will come up at a cost of Rs 5 lac. The civil works that are delayed due to technical reasons will be looked into by the district administration. I will be releasing Rs 3 lac from MPLADS funds and IMA will provide Rs 2 lac more. The oxygen plant needs to be functional within 15 days. DRDO is supplying the machinery for this purpose. The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas has directed different oil and gas public sector undertakings to set up 28 oxygen plants in Karnataka. One of them will be GAIL," said MP Shobha.

She was speaking to media persons after visiting the proposed spot for the oxygen plant at Kundapur government hospital.

“Kundapur taluk hospital is the primary medical centre in this area. Several pregnant women also come here to seek treatment. It is a challenging task for the health workers when they treat a pregnant woman who is Covid positive. The doctors, nurses and medical staff should be commended for their service for risking their lives like soldiers," she added.

District in-charge, Uday Kumar Shetty, district BJP president, Kuilady Suresh Nayak, Kundapur Mandala president, Shankar Ankadakatte, municipal council president, Veena Bhaskar Mendon, vice president, Sandeep Kharvi, party’s Sadananda Balkur, Mohandas Shenoy, Sandhya Ramesh, Kundapur sub division assistant commissioner, K Raju, taluk medical officer, Dr Nagabhooshan Udupa, Covid nodal officer, Dr Nagesh and council members were present.

    When Father Muller Hospital, sponsored by the very Catholic Diocese of Mangalore, serves as a prominent centre for the administration of the anti-COVID 19 vaccine, how does MP Shobha Karandlaje make such a sweeping statement? Over a century now, numerous Mangaloreans, irrespective of caste and creed, have benefitted from this institution's medical and nursing care, both based on modern science. When a vague term like 'churches' is used, most people would naturally think of the Catholic Church which has the greatest presence of all denominations of Christianity in DK District, as elsewhere. There even are places where Catholic churches are serving as vaccination centres. Further, to encourage his flock, Oswald Cardinal Gracias announced at mass last Sunday that he had been vaccinated and so has the Holy Father in Rome. He went on to earnestly exhort all Catholics to get vaccinated. So you see how misleading nebulous statements can be?

    While she was power & electrical Minister she procured power supply from other states to Karnataka from a huge commission. And the present coorg estate was purchased from the commission money. E.D & CBI must raid her coorg estate and file FIR against her. Why Yeddy is staying in her coorg estate? Enquiry must be conducted immediately.

    Shobakka- first learn to speak and understand any one language. Kannada, tulu, hindi or english. You cannot speak anything fluently and you are speaking about vaccine and church. Do some good work for the people of Udupi, dont waste your time for all these divisive politics. Dont worry about christians, supply stock of vaccines and we will see who is opposing and you can identify only those people. Dont simply take an agenda and go behind to hide Modi failures. I know every MP has given some toolkit to divert the attention from Modi failures. Please do your work

    To cover shortage of vaccines in Karnataka, the big mouth Shoba is barking against non-hindus. Provide us vaccines sufficiently without making any delay (already delayed). These bjp's have so far abused non supporters of bjp as Anti National, Anti National and presently all in India suddenly became VacciNational, VacciNational.

    Pentecostals believed, it was sinful to take medicine or receive care from doctors. Over the time, Pentecostals moderated their views concerning medicine and doctor visits; however, a minority of Pentecostal churches continues to rely exclusively on prayer and divine healing. However, when pastors fall sick, they go to western countries telling that they are going for seminars, but actually they are going to hospitals and even getting any needed operation done. I know this, since there is a Pentecostal church on the ground floor of the building I lived in Mumbai. Pentecostals do not use alcohol or tobacco. Their women do not wear gold or ornaments.
