Hassan, Apr 30: Home Minister and Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee president G. Parameshwara, on Friday, reiterated that a Dalit leader should become Chief Minister (CM) of the State.

G-ParameshwarSpeaking at the Dr. B.R. Ambedkar's 125th birth anniversary programme organised in Sakleshpur, he said that the demand for a Dalit CM?is only to prove the capability of the deprived class.

“I never said that I should become CM. Either Mallikarjun Kharge, Srinivas Prasad or anyone else should, for that matter,” he said.

The issue of a Dalit leader becoming Chief Minister had been raked up many times in the past.

However, he said, nothing will change at once if a Dalit becomes a CM. However, such a move can be an opportunity for Dalits to show the world that they can govern well too,” Mr. Parameshwara said.

Recalling various incidents in his life, Parameshwara said, “I?am proud of being a Dalit. I took every insult in my life as a challenge and thus attained this status.”

Further, he questioned the rationale behind referring to Dalits as backward classes'. “When will Dalits be taken off the list of backward classes,” he asked.

JD(S) MLA?H?K?Kumaraswamy,?in his presidential address said, except Congress, all political parties in the state have announced their CM?candidate. “I have no faith that a Dalit from JD(S) can become a CM. At the most, I?could become a minister but not the CM,” he said.

Shame on you, useless creature. Is he begging for the post of CM???
Let him sincerely do the duty which has entrusted to him, rather than grumbling in the name of Dalit? These so called dirt and filth minded politicians are bane to the Natiion. They don't have an iota of dignity? These are like poisonous creatures, which spread their dirty venoms in the society and create hatred amongst the people and politicians. These sort of dirty thugs should be discarded by the like minded civilised citizens of our state and the Great Nation of India, to have a peaceful and cordial relationship among its Gentleman Citizens. Jai Ho., jai Hind. Long Live India and Indians.

Tumakuru, Jan 2: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday slammed the Congress and its allies opposing the Citizenship Amendment Act, saying they are against giving relief to those who have been brutalised and victimised in Pakistan.

"Pakistan was founded on religious grounds due to which atrocities on minorities such as Hindus, Sikhs, Jains and Christians have increased. But Congress and its allies don't speak against Pakistan," he said at a function here.

He also said the Congress and its allies take out rallies and stage demonstrations against the efforts to prevent atrocities on religious lines and save women from sexual assaults.

Modi wondered why those opposed to the CAA were not speaking out against Pakistan's atrocities and asked what stopped them from doing so.

Strongly defending the CAA, he said it was adopted by Parliament in a historic move, but that the Congress and its allies and the ecosystem created by his party's rival were now against the very institution.

He said India cannot leave the Hindus, Christians and Sikhs apparently fleeing Pakistan to "their fate" and added it was the country's responsibility to protect them.

Modi pointed out that the efforts are especially to protect the Dalits and tribals in Pakistan.

The Prime Minister also pointed out that the abrogation of Article 370 was a step towards ending terrorism and uncertainty in Jammu and Kashmir.

Mangaluru, Jun 11: City police on Thursday filed a 700-page chargesheet in connection with the arrest of Aditya Rao, 36, accused of planting an IED at Mangaluru International Airport on January 20.

The chargesheet said the bag placed near MIA entrance had a real bomb, as per the FSL report. The IED in the tin box was made of sulphur, ammonium nitrate, potassium chlorate and charcoal.

Rao, an engineer, who learnt bomb-making through online videos, had also placed a timer along with it and sharp objects such as nails and metals. However, he had not fixed wires to trigger a blast. “His intention was not to cause a blast but only to create a scare,” said sources.

The bomb was made in less than two weeks. However, it had taken Rao several days to procure raw materials. Police had completed the chargesheet process in April.
