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.
Bengaluru, Feb 14: After the swearing-in of ten former JDS and Congress MLAs, political boundaries seem to have become more fluid, with little clarity on who is on whose side. When Honnali BJP MLA Renukacharya visited senior Congressman DK Shivakumar at the latter’s residence, many eyebrows were raised over the reason behind the meeting. There was speculation over why Renukacharya would be meeting a man who is, in all likelihood, slated to be the next KPCC president.

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.
