‘Congress hasn't learned any lesson yet,' says party leader from Karnataka

Mandya, Jun 8: Amidst ongoing political slugfest in Karnataka, senior Congress leader N Cheluvarayaswamy on Friday said hid has not learned any lesson even after the recently held Assembly polls.

"The Congress party, which has been in coalition with the JD(S) hasn't learned any lesson even after the recently-held Lok Sabha election and the party will have to pay if it decides continue ties with JD(S)," said Cheluvarayaswamy.

The former JD(S) leader, who joined the Congress a year ago, said, "Whatever the party decides, I will obey and respect its decision. However, it is a very difficult phase for the Congress and the leaders have to decide accordingly to fix it. There is no future with JD(S) in the state and some of us are convinced by the fact that the situation has remained the same since the coalition."

"The people of Karnataka have already taught JD(S) a lesson in the recently held Lok Sabha election and the HD Kumaraswamy-led government hasn't learned a lesson yet. If Congress continues to support JD(S), it will lose its path in Karnataka. However, everyone is waiting for the party's decision to come," he added.

The JD(S)-Congress coalition, which is in power in the state, went through a rough patch during the campaigning of the recently concluded elections.

Tensions between the two parties benefited the BJP which won 25 of the 28 Lok Sabha seats in Karnataka while both the JD(S) and the Congress had to content itself with just one seat each. However, the Karnataka Congress unit had said that there was no threat to the coalition in the state.

Congress has 79 MLAs while JD(S) has 37 MLAs in the coalition government holding power in the state.

Saharanpur (Uttar Pradesh), May 19: Islamic seminary Darul Uloom Deoband has issued a fatwa asking Muslims to offer their Eid prayers this time at home, instead of congregating at mosques.

The directive comes amid a nationwide lockdown to slow down the spread of coronavirus.

Despite the relaxations announced in the lockdown, religious and other large gatherings are still banned.

The fatwa was issued in response to a query put to the seminary, its spokesman Ashraf Usmani said.

The fatwa said the Eid namaz can be offered in the same manner that the Friday prayers are now being read at home.

It said not holding the namaz in the usual manner is pardonable in circumstances such as these.
