BJP embarrassed as BSY falsifies Simha’s claim on Amit Shah’s violent agitation diktat

Bengaluru, Dec 8: Karnataka BJP Yuva Morcha president Pratap Simha’s recent viral video wherein he had revealed the national BJP chief supremo Amit Shah’s order to carry out violent protests in poll-bond state has embarrassed the party. On the other hand Karnataka BJP chief B S Yeddyurappa has openly denied Simha’s claims.

The development has also resulted in leaders of the party airing varied views on the issue. It all began with Simha, hosting a video on his Facebook page, where among others he states that he will be intensifying his fight against Congress on the instruction of Shah.

"Shah during the visit to Bengaluru in August asked us (Yuva Morcha) to list out the agitations against the Congress government during the last four years. He asked us how many times have we faced lathi charge or escaped tear gas shells, indicating that we stage agitations with such intensity to draw the ire of the police ," Simha, who is also Mysore-Kodagu MP, states in the video.

A day later Simha, rammed his car into a police barricade after he was prevented to participate in Hanuma Jayanthi function in Hunsur in Mysuru district.

Reacting to the development, Yeddyurappa had recently said, "Shah had only said there should be more zeal in the protests but had never mentioned one should be breaking the law. He (Simha) is unnecessarily dragging Shah's name into all this".

Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Assembly Jagadish Shettar said he had not seen Simha's video and it will be inappropriate to comment. "Breaking the law during protest has never been the policy of the party," he said.

Union Statistics and Programme Implementation Minister D V Sadananda Gowda said "Amit Shah is our supreme boss and we have to abide by his directions. But, does law provide for holding up an MP for 13 hours in a police van?" he asked referring to Simha's arrest.

Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Council K S Eshwarappa said Shah had asked the party leaders to take on the ruling Congress. "Police gives permission for processions for Muslims but deny them to Hindus. This is unfair," he said.

Former Home Minister R Ashoka said it is a sensitive matter and will not like to comment. "Our aggressive attitude is not against the police," he said.

IS this issue started by Congress, despite all this type of Circus, Congress is certainly going to loss in Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh & LAter in Karnataka

I have a simple question to the MP, Pratap. Why did you not think of walking in the direction of Hunsur from the Bilikere junction when your car was stopped? This would have put the police in very tight situation. Either they had to follow you on foot or arrest you there itself. You could have scored a point on them Just a instant Gandhi thinking. May be useful in future.

June 14,2020

Kozhikode, Jun 14: A mosque in Kuttichira of Kozhikode has found a unique way to avoid crowding amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The committee that runs the mosque has started issuing smart cards to people for offering prayers and simultaneously encouraging social distancing.

"The committee has given smart cards with numbers to the people in the surroundings of the Masjid. One who enters the mosque premises has to rub their hands with sanitizers. They also have to tell their identity on camera. The automatic system has been put in place to save the address and phone number. Next time onwards they have to say their smart card number only so that other details will be automatically filled," said Muhammad Sajjad, who is part of the Mosque committee.

"The door of the mosque will open automatically after swiping the card. We have fit in a sensor on the doors. We have also made marks inside the mosque area so that people can abide by social distancing norm," he added.

A couple of days back the Kerala government has rolled out an order allowing the opening of places of worship, malls and restaurants from June 9 in strict accordance with guidelines and social distancing norms. As per the guidelines, pregnant women and those with co-morbidities should not visit any places of worship. Those with symptoms should not be allowed.

May 5,2020

Newsroom, May 5: Following the union government's nod, preparations are afoot to bring back Indian nationals stranded abroad from May 7 onwards.

According to sources, in the first phase from May 7- 14, the government would allow more than 60 “non-scheduled, commercial” flights to operate from about 12 countries to India to bring back 15,000 citizens. At least half of those flights will be from the Gulf region, including UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait and Oman, while the rest would bring passengers from the U.S., the U.K., Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines and Bangladesh.

The flights would be spread over 10 States identified as having the largest numbers to return, with Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Delhi (NCR) receiving the maximum number of flights.

A meeting held at the Ministry of Civil Aviation looked specifically at flights, mainly operated by Air India, while it awaits a final plan from countries where Indians need to be airlifted from. The first flights planned at present are from Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Riyadh and Doha, flying directly to Kozhikode and Kochi.

While the full estimate of Indians needing to return home could cross ten lakhs (a million), with more than two lakhs having registered to return from the UAE alone, officials said their return would be “prioritised and staggered”.
