Siddaramaiah accuses Modi govt of misusing I-T department in poll-bound Karnataka

Bengaluru, Apr 24: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Tuesday accused the Prime Minister Narendra Modi led NDA Government at the Centre of misusing the income tax department to scare Congress leaders in poll-bound Karnataka.

He was reacting to reports of I-T raids on various contractors across Karnataka on Tuesday. Rumours were doing rounds that PWD minister HC Mahadevappa’s house also was raided. However, Mahadevappa, as well as the I-T department, denied that any raids were underway at properties of the Minister.

Speaking to reporters before leaving for Badami to file his nomination papers, Siddaramaiah said, "It is very unfortunate that the Union Government is misusing a vital department to disturb Congress leaders. IT department raid on HC Mahadevappa's residence in Mysuru is politically motivated," he said.

He also asked why the department had not raided residences of opposition leaders Jagadish Shettar or BJP Chief BS Yeddyurappa. "Why are only Congress leaders being targetted. These tactics will not scare us," he said.

In the wake of Saudi Arabia's assurance that Masjid al-Haram of Makkah and Masjid an-Nabawi of Madinah will be opened for believers after some days, a message has gone viral on social media claiming that both the holy mosques will open on Ramadan 8 (May 1).

The message which was widely circulated on Facebook and WhatsApp, also contained certain condition such as people should fetch their own prayer mats and that they should not use the washrooms in the mosques. 

Clarification

Meanwhile, the authorities of the two holy mosques, issued a clarification that the claims made in the viral post are false and baseless.

"The message being circulated about the opening date for Haramiain (two holy mosques) for public is completely baseless and false. The suspension of prayers for general public is still in effect," they said in a social media post.
