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

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.
