Mangaluru, Oct 10: Accusing Bharatiya Janata Party of to create a communal divide through blatant lies in Karnataka, forest minister B Ramanath Rai said that the leaders of the saffron party lack moral right to target Congress.

Speaking to media persons in the city, he said that the BJP was targeting the state's Congress government with blatant lies in the absence of any concrete issues.

"BJP leaders are now searching for potholes on roads in Karnataka. Let them search potholes on national highways in the state. BJP leaders, who have nothing to say about their achievements, are trying to stake claims for the work done by the Congress government," Rai said while elaborating on the construction of a new building for Government Lady Goschen Hospital in the city.

"It was former union minister and senior Congress leader M Veerappa Moily who sanctioned funds through Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Limited (MRPL) to construct a new building for Lady Goschen Hospital. BJP leaders, however, have been trying to project it as a central government scheme. BJP leaders are trying to confuse voters with doctored facts," Rai alleged.

He said the assembly election will prove that people are with the Congress. "Our party never supported massacres. While SDPI and BJP fight each other in Karnataka, CPI (M) and RSS are the cause for bloodsheds in Kerala," he said.

Who is Muthalik?

Rai lost his cool when he was asked about Sri Rama Sene chief Pramod Muthalik's statements. "Who is Muthalik? Have Hindus handed over the responsibility of protecting the religion to him," he said.

Muthalik had on Sunday made a controversial remark asking every Hindu to keep a sword at home for self-protection.

"Some people are trying to make their presence felt in society by giving controversial statements through media. Muthalik, who wants to be in news, is making such remarks. He is trying to divide society in the name of religion."

Meanwhile, in a happy coincidence, the district’s only infant allegedly affected – a ten month old child – was totally cured and discharged from the hospital along with infant’s mother and grandmother who were considered to the primary contacts. They are never tested positive for the virus, it is reported. Health experts attributed this to their natural immunity.

The child is said to have contracted the infection during a family visit to Kasargod, which has turned in to a Covid-19 hot spot.

Chennai, July 27: Multi-lingual actress Vijayalakshmi, who attempted suicide yesterday, alleging harassment and bullying by followers of Naam Thamizhar party leader Seeman and Panankattu Padai’s Hari Nadar, is recuperating at a hospital in Chennai. 

Vijayalakshmi is known for films like Friends and Boss Engira Baskaran. She recently made headlines for speaking against Seeman and the torture she was allegedly facing from the actor-turned-politician and his party.

In the video which was uploaded on Sunday evening, Vijayalakshmi said, “This is my last video and I have been in tremendous stress in the last four months because of Seeman and his partymen. I tried my level best to survive all these days because of my mother and sister, but I have been humiliated in the media by Harinadar recently.”

She added, “I would like to tell fans who are watching the video just because I was born in Karnataka, Seeman has tortured me a lot. As a woman, I have put up with it to my highest capabilities. I won’t be able handle the pressure anymore. I am from the Pillai community, the same community LTTE leader Prabhakaran is part of. Prabhakaran is the only reason Seeman is who he is today, but now he has been harassing me on social media continuously. You slut shamed me to make me feel the pain and it is up to me to decide on what to do after facing such insults from you. I request my fans not to let Seeman get away from this case. He should never get anticipatory bail. My death should be a big eye-opener to everyone. I don’t want to be a slave to anybody.”
