Cong mulls criminal case against Shobha over misleading info on communal clashes

News Network

Mangaluru, Jul 20: The Congress party is contemplating on filing criminal case against BJP MP Shobha Karandlaje for submitting misleading information regarding communal incidents in coastal Karnataka to Union Home ministry.

Addressing media persons in the city on Thursday, Chief whip of the Government in the Legislative Council Ivan D'Souza said that Karandlaje should extend apology and also resign from her post as an MP.

“She has been creating an atmosphere of communal disharmony in the district. We have been seeking legal opinion to file case against the MP," Ivan said.

A list of Hindus who had died in the coastal region submitted by Shobha had the name of a living person. She also had provided misleading information projecting murders of personal revenge and other reasons as communal.

"She has forgotten to mention the names of many youths, who died on various occasions in the coastal districts, when she submitted a list to the Union Home Ministry. The MP has mentioned names of those who died from one particular community only. Why this disparity? Doesn't she consider the values of others' lives? Her report to the Home Ministry is very confusing that it has the name of a person, who is still alive," Ivan said and alleged that BJP leaders were making efforts to gain political mileage by creating communal friction.

"They are creating rift in society through blatant lies with an objective of gaining political mileage. Let them come out of such communal politics," he added.

Minister for food, civil supplies and consumer affairs U T Khader criticized Shobha Karandlaje for seeking NIA investigation into communal incidents in Dakshina Kannada.

"NIA investigation is sought only when an incident is linked to national security. The state government sought NIA investigation when there were clues of interstate elements in the murder of RSS worker, who was killed in Shivaji Nagar. Similarly, the Mysuru court blast case also has been taken over by the NIA. There are several criteria to categorise cases for NIA and all cases cannot be handed over to NIA," Khader said.

Its surprising that victimes were remanced in judicial custody whereas terrorists were given bail. What kind of justice is this? Is our law favoring terrorists and punishing the victims? this is really a jungle raj under the nose of our PM.

All these dead cows need to be transported to BJP offices plus to the house of bjp leaders. Let them do the needful to get rid of these dead cows. I wish them to wash the cows and do respectful farewell. some of the dead cows required to be shifted to CM Yogi residence plus office.

Pro-CAA arsonists burn down house of their own pro-CAA BJP leader in Delhi. Reason: He’s a Muslim!

New Delhi, Mar 2: The bloodthirsty arsonists allegedly hired by pro-CAA politicians in the capital of India to target Muslims, did not spare even the house of a Muslim leader of BJP.

Akhtar Raza, the BJP’s minority cell vice-president for the Delhi Northeast district, is now not in a position to share his pain with anyone.

Even the police hadn’t come to his rescue, when the mob raising “Jai Sri Ram” slogans burnt down his house at Bhagirathi Vihar Nalla Road in northeast Delhi last week.

“They were chanting slogans. Around 7pm, they started throwing stones at us. I called for police help. But the police asked me to leave. We managed to flee before they burnt my house and destroyed everything,” Raza, who returned today to witness the destruction, told media persons.

“Those who attacked us were not locals. They were outsiders. They managed to identify and burn down all the 19 houses belonging to Muslims in this lane,” Raza said.

Apart from all the belongings in the house of Raza, the arsonists also have burnt down six vehicles belonging to his family.

Raza is sad that no one from BJP contacted him after the violence even though he has been serving the party and promoting its ideology for past five years. “No party leader contacted me. There was no phone call. There was no relief or special treatment or anything,” Raza said.

Interestingly, Raza is still indentifies himself as a BJP leader. “I belonged to BJP. I may continue in the party,” he said.

The locality remained tense on Sunday too. On Monday, several groups distributed relief materials among people who had queued up to collect them. In front of Raza’s house is a lane from which several bodies of innocent Muslims have been recovered.

How a Muslim and being a leader can accept ideologies of such a hat mongers.
