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.

Bengaluru, Mar 12: The Karnataka government on Wednesday clarified that no coronavirus "emergency" has been declared in the state and that all the schools and offices will remain open.

Earlier, there were fake reports that Karnataka has declared "coronavirus as an epidemic" in the state.

In a statement, Karnataka health commissioner Pankaj Kumar Pandey refuted the reports doing rounds on social media which said Karnataka had declared COVID-19 as a "state epidemic".

Refuting the rumours, he added that all the schools, offices and other institutions will continue to function normally in the state.

The Karnataka government earlier today issued temporary regulation which asked all government and private hospitals to have flu corners for screening of suspected cases of COVID-19.

According to the regulation, no person/institution shall use print or electronic media to spread mis-information on COVID-19 without prior permission of the department of health & family welfare. If a person is found indulging in any such activity, they will be punished, it said.

The Karnataka government also started a campaign called 'Namaste over Handshake' that encourages people to greet in the traditional Indian style, to tackle the spread of the virus.

The state has reported four positive cases of coronavirus so far.

India, so far, has 60 confirmed cases of coronavirus, including 16 Italians tourists.
