Mangaluru, Nov 2: A police constable attached to Belthangady police station in Dakshina Kannada district, has been suspended after he exhibited his inclination towards Sangh Parwar through a Facebbok post.

The man in-khaki who openly showed his saffron colour is Raj Shivappa. A resident of Bagalkot, Shivappa joined Karnataka State Police as a constable six years ago and was posted to the Dakshina Kannada district police unit. He has worked at the Belthangady police station for the past five years.

He was suspended under the Karnataka Police Disciplinary Act after a local resident, Abhinandan, lodged a complaint against him. Disciplinary proceedings were initiated against him. Superintendent of Police Sudheer Kumar Reddy said that a departmental inquiry was ordered against Shivappa.

Policemen are expected to be apolitical and impartial. In a recent Facebook post, he had questioned the chief minister Siddaramaiah's secular credentials.

He had also posted a set of pictures showing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent visit to Dharmasthala and Siddaramaiah having a fish meal prior to his visit to Dharmasthala on October 22.

The post also hails Modi, who according to Shivappa, followed Hindu traditions in visiting the presiding deity at Sri Kshetra Dharmasthala after observing a fast and offering prayers.

Thiruvananthapuram, Feb 11: In a unique form of protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), a bridegroom in Kerala, Haja Hussain, came for his wedding ceremony riding on a camel holding an anti-Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) poster in his hands, on the outskirts of the capital city on Monday.

Accompanied by a large crowd mostly comprising his friends and relatives, Hussain carried a placard which read "Reject CAA, Boycott NRC and NPR" as he arrived at the wedding hall in Vazhimukku, about 20 km from Thiruvananthapuram, on a camel back.

Haja Hussain said that he chose to do this to express his protest against the CAA.

"Along with the ' mahr' (the custom where the groom hands over gold or money to the bride), I also gave a copy of the Constitution. CAA should be rejected," said Haja Hussain, who is a local businessman.
