Bengaluru/Kodagu, Feb 24: Three days after the sloganeering by 19-year-old college student Amulya Leona Norohna at an anti-CAA rally and her subsequent arrest on charges of sedition kicked up a storm, Karnataka minister BC Patil on Sunday advocated central legislation that enables authorities “to shoot at sight” those chanting pro-Pakistan slogans.
Responding to reporters’ queries on the ongoing fracas over the chants, Patil said he would appeal to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to bring in a law so that anti-national elements are “killed on the spot”.
“The Centre must promulgate a law that enables authorities to shoot those who do anything that is seen as anti-national and chant pro-Pakistan slogans,” Patil said. “These elements must be killed on the spot. I am appealing to the PM, through the media now, to bring in such a law. I will also write to the PM.”
In Kodagu, Union minister for chemicals and fertilizer, DV Sadananda Gowda, echoed state home minister home minister Basavaraj Bommai’s line that stringent action will be taken against those indulging in anti-national activity, saying there will be “no mercy” for those taking a pro-Pakistan stance.
“The Union government will assist in the police investigation in Amulya,” he said. Gowda went on to claim that many anti-national organizations have been using CAA protests for political gain.
“We will curb such incidents forever. We will not allow such incidents to happen in future. Organisers of such rallies should be thoroughly questioned,” Gowda said.
Bommai on Saturday had also claimed the government will initiate action against educational institutions and hostels it they fail to act against students indulging in such activity.
“The government will discuss ways to prevent such incidents in colleges and hostels. We will instruct heads of educational institutions and hostel wardens to initiate action against such students. If they fail, the government will take action against them,” Bommai said, without defining what constitutes anti-national activity.
However, despite Congress saying there is no room for anti-national activity and stringent action must be taken against those indulging in such activity, former minister and senior functionary DK Shivakumar suggested he found nothing in Amulya’s background to suggest she is anti-national.
“Let me make it absolutely clear that the Congress party will not support any person or persons who hail another country and bring shame to India,” Shivakumar said. “However, I have seen the girl’s [Amulya’s] previous posts on social media and read her statements on various forums. She has been making statements on an ideological ground. Let us not jump the gun, but investigate exactly what she meant to say.”

in Adwait Siddhanta Adi shankarachtya said the same thing 825AD as has been said by Dr. Sheikh Saleh, Mecca Immam at Mysore. God exists in all human hearts therefore one who loves God cannot hate another human. Dr Saleh deserves to be congratulated for his advice to Muslims in India especially one's like Owaisi.
Really ? Is that what the Koran says about Jews ? Aren't they the descendants of apes and pigs as per the koran ?
Can any truthful Muslim explain what is TAQIYAA
what is KITMAN
You will not see any Muslim religious leaders giving hate speech on stage even in dreams. Islam the message of peace.
We heard lot of Statements from the Cheddi gangs giving the opposite to their followers and misguiding them to do acts which people do without even knowing the reality... just following blindly without knowing what is right & wrong.
THIS is called a MUSLIM LEADER .... the more people hate ISLAM, We should inform the message of TRUE GOD, ALLAH who created all that exists ... May ALLAH guide our Leaders and the people who follow them sincerely and stop hating the people of all religion.
May Allah guide those hindus who are honest in searching for the TRUE GOD. IF ALLAH guides thats the best blessings one can ever have in this LIFE which ALLAH gave us.
