May 5: Following the rape-murder of Jisha in Kerala, actor Priya Mani has sparked off a controversy on the microblogging site Twitter by urging women in India to leave the country.

Reacting to the Bengaluru abduction and Kerala rape incidents, the 31-year-old actor tweeted, "Appalled and shocked to read about yet another tragic rape and murder! i don't think India is safe anymore for women #JusticeForJisha".

Twitterati started reacting to her tweets, and while some called her "Aamir Khan's sister", some asked her to get out of the country, and some others took a hit at her glamourous scenes in films.

Later, the actor came up with an explanation: "I have only expressed my feelings towards the untoward incidents which have occurred and r still occurring!how is this anti India??READ!!"

Priya Mani also tweeted about being called "anti-Indian" by some.

Jisha was a 28-year-old LLB student who was allegedly subjected to rape and brutal assault before being murdered in Perumbavoor of Ernakulam district.

The crime has been dubbed as 'Kerala's Nirbhaya' for its chilling similarities to the gangrape incident of a paramedic student in Delhi in 2012.

These are not anti India statements, but view it as feeling of expression on helpless situation.. Amir khan also expressed same feelings....Mothers express such words towards their children , if they are frustrated by saying \ I will throw you out of my home' or ' I will throw you to fox' etc ... nobody feel any mother will do such things to her child...."

She is concerned about India...once it was good...now going bad to worst...very bad...sometimes our politicians are also supporting rapists...that is very very bad....law should be enacted to get highest punishment to criminals...should show no mercy at all....

Nobody wants to go out from India...it is a best country...it is our job to protest when there is discrimination happening around...criminal activity going unabated....no criminals should let go freely...

Mangaluru, May 26: Days after the government of India approved the use of chartered flights for the repatriation of Indians stranded across the world amidst covid-19 lockdown, two NRI entrepreneurs in Saudi Arabia have offer to bear the cost of repatriation if they get formal green signal to repatriate stranded Indians from Dammam to Mangaluru International Airport before June 5.

Althaf Ullal and Basheer Sagar, the two Kannadiga Directors of Al Khobar-based Saqco, have made this offer in a letter written to Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa and Union Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri.

The duo have assured that their company will bear the cost of the first chartered flight from Dammam to Mangaluru if the government paves way for its operation by June 5. 

It is learnt that many private airliners have come forward to operate chartered flight and are waiting for final clearance from the government. It will cost approximately Rs 45 lakh to hire chartered flight with 180 capacity from Dammam to Mangaluru. 

Pregnant women, medical emergency cases, senior citizens on visit visas, those who lost jobs due to lockdown among other stranded Indians will be given priority in this flight, they said.

"Our company will completely bear this cost. Passengers only need to bear the cost of institutional quarantine after reaching Mangaluru," they have clarified.
