Bengaluru, Dec 27: A small-time politician in Karnataka has announced a bounty of Rs 1 crore to anyone who would chop off Union Minister Ananth Kumar Hegde's tongue for his controversial remarks against Indian constitution.

According to reports, the Rs 1-crore bounty was announced by former Kalaburagi zilla panchayat member Gurushant Pattedar on Tuesday. Giving reasons why he chose to make such a shocking announcement, Pattedar said that he announced the "bounty" because Hegde's comment had pained most of the Indians including Dalits, Muslims, backward classes and secular people.

"Opposing his (Hegde's) remarks, I'm announcing a bounty of Rs 1 crore for chopping off his tongue and bringing it (over)," Pattedar, who identified himself as a senior Dalit leader, said in Kalaburagi.

Pattedar, who is currently associated with the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), said he was announcing the "bounty" on his volition and not on behalf of the party.

"I'm ready to give the bounty amount to anyone who chops off Hegde's tongue and brings it in one month's time, by January 26," he added. He also accused Hegde of "denigrating" the Constitution.

The Union Minister for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship had kicked up a controversy on Sunday when he said at an event in Kukanur town in Koppal district that people who "call themselves secular" were unaware of their parentage.

He said he was happy if people recalled their religion or caste with pride. "I feel happy because he (the person) knows about his blood, but I don't know what to call those who call themselves secular," the minister had said.

Hegde then said, "Those who, without knowing about their parental blood, call themselves secular, they don't have their own identity... They don't know about their parentage, but they are intellectuals."

Hegde also had threatened to change the Indian constitution.  “It will be changed in the days to come. We are here for that and that is why we have come," the five-time Lok Sabha MP from Karnataka said.

New Delhi, Mar 20: An official of South Western Railway has been suspended for "hiding" her son, who returned from Germany and later tested positive for coronavirus.

The youth has been hiding at a railway guest house in Bengaluru, officials said on Friday.

"She (the railway official) not only failed to inform authorities about her son's return from Germany, but also endangered the lives of others by lodging him in a railway rest house near the main Bangalore railway station," railway spokesperson E Vijaya said.

The Assistant Personnel Officer (Traffic) has been suspended, Vijaya said.

The 25-year-old man, who came from Germany via Spain and was instructed to be in home quarantine after he landed at the Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru on March 13, later tested positive for Covid-19 on March 18.

"She virtually hid her son to protect her family but endangered all of us," a South Western Railway official said.
