Shivamogga, Dec 17: State BJP President Nalin Kumar Kateel on Tuesday said that the Congress is an anti-national party as it is creating communal violence in the country by misguiding Muslims on the the Citizenship (Amendment) Act.
Kateel said that the Act is not aimed at troubling Muslims but safeguarding interests of minorities in Pakistan and Bangladesh.
He was speaking at District BJP special committee meeting organised by the BJP unit here on Tuesday.
Bengaluru, May 5: The movement of migrant labourers from Karnataka to other states has stopped temporarily, as few North Indian states are yet to give consent.
Revenue Minister R Ashok said that the state government will convince labourers to stay back and ensure free food supply at their camps. "Even if we allow them to travel, they will be quarantined for 14 days as soon as they reach their native states.
The labourers don't know about this and some states have not yet given permission for their return," Revenue Minister R Ashok said.
According to sources in CMO, the decision to convince the workers to stay back came after several major projects - both government and private - were affected by the mass migration of labourers to their native districts and states.
Ashok, along with S Suresh Kumar, Primary and Secondary Education minister and head of the group of ministers focusing on migrant workers, also visited labourers who had gathered demanding that they be allowed to return.
Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa will chair a meeting tomorrow and instruct builders under CREDAI to pay pending wages of labourers, provide food supply and ensure their safety, Ashok said, adding that all construction work by BBMP will also be taken up to help the labourers.

Mangaluru, Jan 15: Thousands of people on Wednesday boarded boats from Ullal's Kotepura to join a massive protest against the amended Citizenship Act and National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Adyar here.
People travelling through boats and steamers decorated with national flags, raised slogans during their journey through the Netravathi River.
The innovative mode of transportation was used by the protestors to reach the venue, as it not only saved time but was also more convenient for the fishermen, as large number of people from this community joined the protest.
The protestors docked their boats at the shore, which was barely 500 metres from the site of protest, being held at Shah Ground in Adyar.
The distance between Kotepura to the Shah Ground is approximately 15 kilometres but protesters would have to walk more five kilometres to reach the venue because of heavy traffic.
Due to protest, the national highway was also blocked and resulted in huge traffic snarls on routes leading to agitation site.
