Congress is setting fire, BJP is dousing it, claims Rajnath Singh

Bengaluru, Dec 17: Congress is setting fire on various issues in the country, according to Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh. Addressing a public meeting held in Bengaluru as part of Bharatiya Janata Party’s state-wide Parivarthana rally on Sunday, he said that it was BJP which was trying to douse the fire and not the other way round.

“We have been dousing fire set by the Congress in the country,” the minister said responding to the statement by newly-elected Congress party president Rahul Gandhi, who on Saturday accused the BJP of stoking fire in the country. Mr. Singh was addressing a public meeting held in Bengaluru as part of BJP’s state-wide Parivarthana rally on Sunday.

“It is not BJP’s policy that led to birth of terrorism or naxalism. BJP’s policy did not lead to 1984 violence or Punjab issue. Our policy did not start fire in Kashmir,” he said, adding that it was BJP which was fire-fighting and not the Congress. He also said that it was not BJP’s policy that has given rise to dynasty politics in the country.

Stating that India had emerged as a strong nation now, the Home Minister said: “If India was a weak nation, it would not be possible to settle the Doklam deadlock on the Indo-China border. China has also accepted that India is not a weak nation any more. China feels that it should maintain a good relationship with India,” he added.

Dear Rajnath, please dont lie to this extent.  We know who is lying.  You have made this statement my mistake.  Instead of saying bjp sets fire and congress puts if off you said congress sets fire and bjp puts it off.   We know who set fire in Honnavar + Kumta + Sirsi etc.   Dont try to fool us dear.  We know that you are a Master Degree holder  in lying from Nagpur university.   Please feel shame and try to understand what are you saying.   You cannot fool us all the time.   You should know this and it will be better for you.

Thiruvananthapuram, Jan 26: Sister Lucy Kalappura, one of the nuns who protested against rape accused Bishop Franco Mulakkal, on Saturday claimed that she is being targeted at the convent and not being provided food.

Sister Lucy was dismissed from Franciscan Clarist congregation for supporting sisters protesting against the Bishop.

"I am being targeted at the convent and not being provided food. When I asked the reason, I was told I have been dismissed from the convent and they are not responsible for feeding me," said Sister Lucy while speaking to the reporters.

She has alleged that all this began after the release of her autobiography "Karthavinte Namathil" which means 'In the name of God'. In her book she had alleged sexual misconduct among priests and nuns.

"They prepare food and after having it they lock it in the cupboard. When I asked the reason behind this, they told me that I have been dismissed," said Sister Lucy.

"Now I am managing it all by myself with egg and tapioca that grows in the convent compound. Earlier they used to keep the leftover lunch and I used to adjust with that, but after my book was released, they started to lock the food in the cupboard," she added.

Sister Lucy also claimed that she had filed three complaints with the police on August 19, August 20 and on December 13. They had taken her statement but no action was taken.

"If the police would have taken some action against the convent authorities, they would not have behaved this way. An FIR was registered based on the three complaints but no action was taken. This gives them more power to act against me. I have drafted a letter to the Chief Minister to raise my complaint," said Sister Lucy.

Bishop Mulakkal, a senior member of the Roman Catholic clergy in India, was arrested in 2018 following allegations by a nun that he repeatedly raped and sexually assaulted her at Kuravilangad convent between 2014 and 2016, a charge that he denies.
