Name sake muslim candidates are bribed by anti social and antial religious party only to divide votes of Muslims and make gain to particular communaal party. Shame on these muslim candidates. they are stabbing their own people for the sake of position and money. I think they have no fear of Almighty God. Money and power is their God. Shame on you. You are supporting Iblees. Why dont you join them and accept their belief. Dont try to be MIr Qasim and Mir Jafar who betrayer Indians and collaborated swith British. I request all the Votes not to cast a single vote to these Muslims candidates who are supporting communaal party. MEP is a branch of BJP and nothing else. MEP leader has close relation with BJP leaders. BJP is forecasting her as a Goddess who is distributing cash to poors only to fool them. She is spreading Fitna of Dajjal and we should be careful about it.

I really appreciate SDPIs stand for withdrwing the all nomination...

See the stupidity of Muslims candidates....... How many candidates are in field? Just to devide votes.

Shame on you......

But Muslim voters should not fall prey to this.... determine who is winning candidates and vote. Don't go for cast policy......

Dropping Tipu Sultan from Class 7 textbook is a communally motivated move: SDPI

coastaldigest.com news network

July 30,2020

Mangaluru, July 30: The Social Democratic Party of India has condemned the move by the state government to drop a lesson on legendary Mysuru rulers Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan from the class 7 textbook.

The Department of Public Instruction has omitted the chapter from the textbooks of Class 7 in their attempt to reduce syllabus for state board schools by 30 per cent.

The department, however, has decided to retain similar chapters on Tipu Sultan in 6th and 10th Classes, though the syllabus in text books for all classes from 1 to 10th has been trimmed.

In a media release statement, SDPI State President Ilyas Mohammed Thumbe termed the move as communally motivated. “By dropping the lesson, the BJP-led government is engaged in saffronisation of education,” he alleged.

He said that Tipu was the most prominent freedom fighter, who had given priority to irrigation, rocket technology and harmony. The BJP government is also planning to scrap lessons on the Constitution, secularism and democracy. By twisting history, the BJP is trying to mislead the younger generation, he added.

Need a law to shoot at sight those raising anti-India slogans: B C Patil

News Network

March 2,2020

Bengaluru, Mar 2: Karnataka Minister BC Patil on Monday repeated his earlier statements that he will approach the Centre to bring a law to "shoot at sight" anyone who raises anti-India slogans.

"I am not going back on my statement as I have not said anything wrong. I had said that I will ask the central government to bring a law to shoot at sight those who shout slogans against India. Nowadays it has become a fashion for some youths to get popularity this way which spoils the country and patriotism," Patil told reporters here.

"There is nothing wrong in asking for a law. I have not said that I will myself shoot someone who shouts slogans against India. If the same thing happens in Pakistan, they will be beheaded. But we are not so brutal, we book a case and send them to judicial custody," he added.

Patil also said that there was no need for holding discussions over the amended Citizenship Act, but added that the ruling BJP will defend it if the opposition raises a stir in the state Assembly.

The budget session of the Karnataka Assembly began on Monday.
