Most of the accused in the recent home stay attack belong to the Billawa community, said Union minister B Janardana Poojary here on Sunday.
“Instead of being associated with bad things, youth should possess good character as it plays a vital role in leading a peaceful life,” said Poojary, who himself belongs to Billawa community.
He was addressing the gathering after inaugurating a scholarship distribution programme organised by the Billawas Dubai and Northern Emirates (BDNE) at Koragappa Memorial Hall in Kudroli Gokarnanatheshwara Temple. “It is sad to see that youth from the Billawa community have become violent because of some misguiding people. When there was communal violence in the district, police arrested 600 culprits. Among them, 400 were from the Billawa community. Even in the home stay attack, a majority of the culprits are from the Billawa community,” he said.
Emphasising the need for self-confidence, he said children should not commit suicide if they get negative results in exams. Respecting elders, hard work and patience are the most important qualities one should possess, he added.
Lauding the efforts of BDNE in disbursing scholarships to poor students and medical assistance to the needy, he said that students who have been provided scholarships should inform BDNE when they secure good jobs.
BDNE has disbursed Rs 2.30 lakh to the needy to meet their medical costs. Scholarships worth Rs 11 lakh were disbursed to over 224 students on the occasion.
Three sportspersons namely Mamata Poojary, Sahana Poojary and Supreetha Poojary were also felicitated at the event.
