The city police have sent three notices to Facebook authorities, including in the recent case of derogatory Facebook post on?goddess Durgaparameshwari, the presiding deity of a temple in Kateel on the outskirts of Mangaluru.

However, the Facebook authorities have neither shared the required information with the police in investigating the cases, nor responded to the notices.

M Chandra Sekhar, the commissioner of Mangaluru city police, told media persons here that in such cases it will be the responsibility of the social networking sites to provide the IP addresses from which the posts were sent.

“The Facebook might be a big company, but, when the safety, security, unity and integrity of the nation is concerned, it is small,” he said adding that the police will explore the legal means to take them head on.

He also said that the police would send yet another reminder to the Facebook seeking its co-operation in the derogatory post cases and if it still refused to respond, they would have no other option but to approach the court.

Bengaluru,  Jul 9: Former Karnataka Chief Minister and Congress leader Siddaramaiah on Wednesday said that he was opposed to a tie-up with Janata Dal-Secular in the last Lok Sabha elections but the party high command did not listen to him.

"I had suggested that we should fight alone (in Lok Sabha elections) because JD-S votes would not have come to us and our votes would not have gone to JD-S," Siddaramaiah told reporters here.

Congress leader said that he was the only one to make the suggestion and he did not get support.

"I was the only one to raise a voice that's why it was not heard by (party) high command and I did not get support. We might have won over seven seats in parliament election if we had fought alone," he said.

After forming government in Karnataka in 2018 with support of JD-S, Congress had fought the 2019 general election in a pre-poll alliance with the party. Congress could only one seat of the 21 it contested and JD-S also won one seat of the seven it contested.
