CBI ready to raid DK Shivakumar, 10 other Congress MLAs?

Bengaluru, May 31: Armed with a search warrant the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) might raid the houses of friends and relatives of Congress leader DK Shivakumar in connection with the demonetised currency notes case, agency sources said.

Meanwhile, Shivakumar on Thursday held an emergency press conference at his Bengaluru residence and said that the BJP is indulging in vendetta politics. He said that the CBI is going to raid 11 Congress MLAs including him.

“There is no question of bowing under any pressure. These politically motivated raids and the warrants have come from agencies that come under BJP's control,” he alleged.

Stating that this will not stop them from doing our party work, "We will always abide by the law of the land."

Shivakumar was as a key figure in keeping the party MLAs together before the trust vote of BJP's Yeddyurappa government.

The development comes amid hectic parleys between both Congress and JD(S) on cabinet expansion and portfolio allocation since Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy proved majority on the floor of the assembly on May 25, two days after his swearing-in on May 23.

According to report, the two parties have not been able to arrive at a consensus on the allocation of key portfolios, most importantly Finance, which both Congress and JD(S) want in their kitty.

However, to a question about reports that he was demanding power portfolio, Shivakumar termed it "false news." Refuting reports about a tussle between him and JD(S)' HD Revanna, son of former prime minister HD Deve Gowda, for the power ministry, he said, "no such demands or discussions, our party and that party (JDS) leaders will sit together and decide."

Thiruvananthapuram, Feb 11: In a unique form of protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), a bridegroom in Kerala, Haja Hussain, came for his wedding ceremony riding on a camel holding an anti-Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) poster in his hands, on the outskirts of the capital city on Monday.

Accompanied by a large crowd mostly comprising his friends and relatives, Hussain carried a placard which read "Reject CAA, Boycott NRC and NPR" as he arrived at the wedding hall in Vazhimukku, about 20 km from Thiruvananthapuram, on a camel back.

Haja Hussain said that he chose to do this to express his protest against the CAA.

"Along with the ' mahr' (the custom where the groom hands over gold or money to the bride), I also gave a copy of the Constitution. CAA should be rejected," said Haja Hussain, who is a local businessman.

Kasaragod, Apr 17: Even as this district continue to remain in the high-alert red zone category of Covid-19, Kasaragod has slowly but steadily been limping back to restraint level of the pandemic from a possible slipping into a stage-3 of community spread early this month.

Thanks to the stringent and committed measures implemented by the district administration crisscross the district besides total isolation of few localities by enforcing triple lockdown.

The district had been a Covid-19 hotspot ever since an NRI who returned from the Gulf violated quarantine protocol and travelled wide and far by meeting and contacting with several people including two MLAs of the district. That apart the irresponsible attitude of the people who broke the rules of quarantine and lockdown norms also made things go from bad to worse resulting in contributing for a near-half of the total positive cases in the state at the beginning of April.
