Amit Shah calls UB City assault victim a ‘BJP worker’, says cops soft on minority goons

Mangaluru, Feb 20: BJP supremo Amit Shah, who is touring coastal Karnataka as part of the Navashakti Yatra, on Tuesday added UB City assault victim to the list of BJP workers attacked by Congress in the state during Siddaramaiah rule.

Vidwath, an MBA graduate and son of a businessman was on Saturday night thrashed by Shantinagar Congress MLA NA Haris’ son Mohammed Nalapad and others at Farzi Café in Bengaluru’s UB City over a trivial issue. Sons of many senior BJP leaders were mute spectators for the attack. Family sources said that Vidwath, who recently returned from Singapore, was not part of any political outfits.

However, speaking to reporters in Dakshina Kannada, Amit Shah referred to Vidwath as a BJP worker. “The BJP workers are being attacked by goons of Congress across Karnataka. Vidwath is a latest victim of Congress’ hooliganism,” he claimed.

Accusing the Karnataka police of going soft on goons belonging to Congress and minority community, Shah said that Bengaluru police had delayed registering the case not just because Mohammed Haris was a Congress MLA's son, but also because he belonged to a minority community.

Bengaluru, Jul 13: Former Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Monday said that the state government should provide vitamin C drug, Ayush Ministry-certified immunity boosters and sanitisers to every household in the wake of the coronavirus spread.

"Karnataka government should provide vitamin C drug, Ayush Ministry-certified immunity boosters and sanitisers to every household to fight against COVID-19," Kumaraswamy told media.

The JDS leader further stated that "appropriate medication should be provided to those who are "symptomatic" by the Karnataka government and added that "by taking such measures the government can halt the spread of the virus."

If the government is not able to provide the health kit to everyone then at least they should give it to the BPL families, he added.

Kumaraswamy also stressed upon organising awareness campaigns about the coronavirus and use of supplements among the masses to prevent themselves from contracting the infection.

According to the Union Health Ministry, Karnataka has recorded 38,843 cases of COVID-19 to date.

Bengaluru, May 9: The bar owners in Karnataka, while welcoming the state government's decision to allow takeaway sales of liquor, said that the move is not going to benefit them much.

Venkatesh Babu, a Bengaluru-based bar owner said, "We welcome this move, our bar was closed for two months due to coronavirus crisis. We have been facing losses since then."

"The state government has told us to sell our stocks at maximum retail price (MRP). It is difficult for us to manage as the rent is high and we also have to pay salaries," he added.

The owner of Pingara Bar and Restaurant, Shivamogga said, "The government has said that is for parcel only and that too at MRP. There is no benefit to our business. We are only clearing the existing stock. They have given us time till May 17 and are not even giving us fresh stock. We are only allowed to sell what we have already."

Karnataka government in its Friday order allowed restaurants, pubs and bars to sell liquor at retail prices from May 9 till May 17, the day the third phase of lockdown is slated to end.

Earlier, the government had allowed the opening of liquor shops in order to mobilise revenue.

However, bars, pubs, restaurants were ordered to remain closed amid the COVID-19 lockdown.
