Mysuru, Dec 26: The protests against CAA and NRC are going on mainly in BJP ruled states and not in non-BJP ruled states, former minister SA Ramadas said on Wednesday, seeking to give the issue a different spin. He said the agitation pattern indicates that the opposition parties are creating ruckus by misleading people about CAA and NRC.

Ramdas, who is BJP MLA from Krishnaraja segment, conducted an awareness programme on CAA and NRC to commemorate former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s birth anniversary.

“The BJP government has enacted amendments to the citizenship law to grant citizenship to religious minorities of Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh, who had to flee their homeland facing persecution. The opposition is indulging in misinformation and falsehood campaigns about CAA and NRC. The law has nothing against Muslims,” Ramdas said.

Muslim and Jain community leaders too took part in the awareness programme.

Bengaluru, May 8: Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa said his government is clear in its stand on extending every possible help to the farmers. The Chief Minister spoke to the farmer-leaders of the state, who wanted their concerns to be heard and addressed, with regard to the problems the agrarian community has been facing in the wake of the COVID-19 lockdown.

"We will soon make our position clear on supporting the farmers. We will not allow any hindrance to come in the way of agriculture activities," Yediyurappa told the farmer- leaders.

The Chief Minister told the delegation that the pre-monsoon activities are in full swing in the state.

The government has also set up help centres and been providing agriculture equipment on rent, the Chief Minister said. In most of the places, at least 80 per cent of the standing crops have been harvested.

Arrangements have been made to bring equipment from neighbouring states to harvest the standing crop, he said.

Yediyurappa said fertilisers and seeds are available in abundance in the state.

He informed the farmer-leaders about the arrangements made to transport flowers, vegetables and fruits to other states.

Similarly, the market has been developed for the farmers to sell their products, said the Chief Minister.

He said the government is working out a compensation for farmers who lost their crops due to hailstorm in Raichur, Koppal and Ballari. Agriculture Minister B C Patil, Horticulture Minister Narayana Gowda, Revenue Minister R Ashoka, Chief Secretary T M Vijay Bhaskar and Development Commissioner Vandita Sharma were also present in the meeting.
