BSY appeals HC to prevent media, Cong leaders from talking about his ‘past’

Bengaluru, Mar 16: Karnataka BJP chief and former chief minister B S Yeddyurappa has moved the High Court seeking a direction to restrain the media and Congress leaders from making statements against him in connection with the criminal cases already closed and those pending against him.

Justice G Narendar, before whom the petition came up for hearing on Thursday, ordered issuance of notices to the Press Council of India and the body of private television news broadcasters while refusing to pass any interim order at this stage.

Meanwhile, the court orally observed that the questions raised in the petition are a larger issue and hence directed the PCI and the body of private news broadcasters to be made as respondents in the petition.

Yeddyurappa has moved the High Court after a Bengaluru sessions court last month declined to issue an ex parte temporary injunction against 22 print and electronic media houses and seven Congress leaders on his suit, which is pending consideration before the civil court.

It has been pointed out in Yeddyurappa’s petition that the Congress leaders are issuing “defamatory” statements against him on the cases related to alleged corruption in which he has been acquitted of all the charges or the cases have been quashed by courts.

Also, it has been claimed in the petition that the Congress leaders are making remarks against him based on certain other cases, which are sub judice, and such remarks amount to interference in the process of administration of justice.

Siddaramaiah, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee president G. Parameshwara, KPCC working president Dinesh Gundu Rao, Water Resources Minister M.B. Patil, MLCs C.M. Ibrahim and V.S. Ugrappa, and Congress spokesperson Brijesh Kalappa have been made respondents in the petition along with 22 media houses.

Bengaluru, May 14: Reformed underworld don Muthappa Rai, who was battling cancer for the past year, was said to be in a critical condition at Manipal Hospital in Bengaluru, late Wednesday night. Doctors said he was on life-support at the time of going to press. Rai (68), realtor, entrepreneur and founder of pro-Kannada organisation Jaya Karnataka, had retired from public life after he was diagnosed with cancer. He was part of an ongoing investigation into gangster Ravi Pujari, who was extradited from Senegal recently.

Born in Puttur into a Bunt family, he started out as a bank employee in Bengaluru, and later ran a live band restaurant. In 1994, he was shot in a Bengaluru court by a man dressed as a lawyer, after which he was bedridden for a couple of years.

Rai Moved to Dubai in 1996. He was deported from the UAE to India in 2002, and was arrested in Bengaluru when HT Sangliana was the police commissioner. Both Rai and Pujari had allegedly been associated with underworld don Dawood Ibrahim.

Bengaluru, Jan 25: Karnataka Health Minister B Sriramulu on Friday, hit out at JD(S) leader HD Kumaraswamy, accusing the former Chief Minister of pursuing "vote bank" politics and advised him to move to Pakistan.

"It is better to move to Pakistan...if he shows so much love towards Pakistan, why should he live in India? He should not do dual politics like this. He wants to be fair to Pakistan and also to India," Sriramulu said.

Terming it as "double standards", the Minister said: "From so many years, you have been doing vote bank politics. You have to understand one thing...you are the son of former Prime Minister and also a former Chief Minister. By giving these type of statements, I think it will hurt the citizens of India. If you want to do vote bank politics I must suggest that it is better to leave the country."

His statement comes after Kumaraswamy took a jibe at BJP over its "obsession with Pakistan".
