New Delhi, Sept 17: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Saturday met Congress president Sonia Gandhi and is learnt to have updated her on the progress in the investigation into the murder of journalist Gauri Lankesh.

Siddaramaiah explained the sequence of events and assured her the probe is moving in the right direction. Emerging out of the meeting, the chief minister said it was just a courtesy call and discussed the political developments in the state.

Soon after Gauri’s murder, Sonia and Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi dialled the chief minister and urged him to act swiftly to bring the culprits to book. He said he had directed the SIT to coordinate with the CBI, the Maharashtra police and the Karnataka CID, which are probing the murders of rationalist Narendra Dabholkar, Govind Pansare and M M Kalburgi respectively.

Dismissing BJP’s allegation of a rise in political killings in Karnataka since the Congress government came to power, the chief minister said no killing should happen whether it is of right or left ideologues.

Later in the day, Siddaramaiah also called on President Ram Nath Kovind.

The chief minister also met Union Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and requested her to hand over defence land for Metro projects and road widening in Bengaluru in exchange for land in Anekal.

Siddaramaiah said the minister assured him the state’s demand will be considered and would also look into the state’s request to conduct an air show during Mysuru Dasara from September 21 to 27.

Bengaluru, Jun 16: Former prime minister H D Deve Gowda on Tuesday termed as 'disturbing' the violent clash between Indian and Chinese troops in Galwan Valley and said the government should offer a clearer picture to the nation on the border issue.

He sought to know as to how Indian soldiers lost their lives during a de-escalation process and said Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh should come out with a clearer picture.

"Reports coming from #GalwanValley are disturbing. Why did our soldiers lose their lives during a de-escalation process? In national interest, the PM and RM should offer a clearer picture to the nation on the border issue with the Chinese. #LADAKHSTANDOFF," Gowda tweeted. An Indian Army officer and two soldiers were killed during the confrontation with Chinese troops in the Galwan Valley in eastern Ladakh on Monday night, the first such incident in the last 45 years that reflected massive escalation in the five- week border row.

The Army said India lost an officer and two soldiers during the violent face-off, while there were casualties on the Chinese side as well.
