New Delhi, Jul 21: Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Thursday asked the Opposition parties in the Rajya Sabha to stop giving a political colour to cow-related violence, saying it could never be a partisan issue. ambacow

Replying to a debate on the issue of beef-related violence and lynching, Jaitley said, “Violence can never be a partisan issue and oppression in the name of cow will not be tolerated.”

He held that the protection of cows was not introduced by the BJP. He quoted Article 48 of the Constitution, which calls upon the state to protect cows from slaughter, saying it was written by Dr B R Ambedkar.

“Then, there was not a state where the BJP was in power. It was during (Jawaharlal) Nehru’s rule,” he said. Senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad said his party was not seeking to support the slaughter of cows.

Jaitley said, “Wherever acts of violence and lynching have erupted, legal proceedings and charge sheets have been filed in a systematic way. Sensitivity to the cow could not justify violence.”

What can we expect from this unhuman shoba. I think she forgot to include names of various BJP leaders in the list of people kiilled in karnataka. Did she inlude her name also (may be yes). what a shame?

Airport bomb: Home minister refuses to call Aditya Rao a terrorist, accuses Opposition of appeasing minorities

News Network

January 22,2020

Bengaluru, Jan 22: Karnataka home minister Basavaraj Bommai today refused to respond when a journalist asked him why Aditya Rao, who was arrested on charge of planting bomb at Mangaluru International Airport, can’t be called a terrorist.

Responding to another query of another journalist on the sidelines of a private program, here, Mr Bommai said all airports in the state would soon have bomb disposal squads.

"After the Mangaluru airport bomb incident, a thought has been given to establishing bomb disposal squads near airports in the state. Hubballi and Kalburgi airports too will have them," he said.

He said, Aditya Rao resident of Udupi who has been in a frustrated state for not getting employment and earlier too arrested for hoax calls surrendered at the DGP office in Bengaluru on Wednesday. The Mangaluru police will take him into custody for investigations, he added.

Despite the suspect surrendering to the police, investigations into the case will continue, he said.

He further added, 'Irrespective of the organisations the accused belongs to, he will be punished.”

Explosives used in the Mangaluru airport bomb have been sent to the Forensic Science Laboratory for analysis and investigation. National Security Guards too were collecting details, he stated.

He then went on to slam Opposition parties over Mangaluru Airport bomb incident. “State police, on getting information about the suspected bag, had acted swiftly and diffused it. The opposition has resorted to politics and using the incident to appease minorities,” he said.

He also termed that the statements made by the opposition would instigate anti-national elements.
