Mudigere, Jan 13: Udupi-Chikkamagaluru MP Shobha Karandlaje has urged the police not to arrest “innocents” in connection with the death of Dhanyashree, who had committed suicide last week after being tortured and threatened by the goons of saffron outfits.

Addressing presspersons during her visit to Mudigere, the hardline BJP leader said the police have arrested persons who had been to the girl’s place to “console” her.

When a few media persons questioned her whether she knows the difference between harassing and consoling, Karandlaje said that Congress was trying to politicise the issue.

“The people responsible for her death should be punished, but innocents should not face any difficulty,” she maintained.

She had spoken to the Superintendent of Police Annamalai about the incident. “I did speak to the girl’s mother as well. Whatever details I collected from her, I have shared the same with the police officer. The Congress government should stop politicising the incident,” Karandlaje said.

The 20-year-old student of Mudigere’s DSBG College had committed suicide on January 6, unable to bear the harassment by Hindutva goons. She was repeatedly warned by activists of BJP and Bajrang Dal against praising Muslims and befriending Muslim boys.

In her death note Dhanyashree had named five Hindutva activists who had barged into her house and threatened her. However, according to Karandlaje, the Hindutva activists had visited her house to console her!

Shame on this lady. for her political milage she even not sprarring a death of a innocent girl also that to from her own constituency. How can we expect this lady will do good. Realy upsetting statement.

What is wrong with Shobakka, let police do their work why she is interfering, Annamalai is not giving any importance to her. Actually she want to become a Minister. If her own party people involved, she say they are innocent. What type of monopoly is this ? Why Yeddi is not advising her to keep quite.

Undu onji bhayankara saamaan marrrre

Hum nahin sudarenghe what she tells.These two mp are the main culprits creating problems. Since the girl clearly mentioned bjp sponsored criminals name n her parents are also confirmed than what proof shobha wants. So there is no any law for bjp criminals. Day by day she is omitting poison now comments against our police dept shameless lady. How people elected her?

Shobhakka trying to make dark by closing eyes. People knows the truth and goon should be punished

Please stop your show. #justice_for_dhanyashree

She dont have shame to tell goon did consolation to her. Might be in BJP harrassing means it consolation

Aey Sho-bhakka, Its political issue only. Because of your communal mind everything happened.

BJP may get some political gain if they expell and do something for the punishment of goon santhosh

They are prooving again and again that they are communal party.

HDK urges Yediyurappa to demand 'COVID Package' from PM Modi during interaction

News Network

May 11,2020

Bengaluru, May 11: Janata Dal (Secular) leader HD Kumaraswamy on Monday asked Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa to urge PM Narendra Modi to give a 'COVID Package' to Karnataka.

In a series of tweets, Kumaraswamy said that Yediyurappa should raise the demand during the course of the meeting scheduled to be held today with the PM, which will also be attended by Chief Ministers of other states.

"Prime Minister Narendra Modi will hold talks with CMs from different states on coronavirus control and lockdown today. The state's CM BS Yediyurappa will also be in it. At this meeting, BSY should urge Modi to offer a 'COVID Package' to the state," Kumaraswamy's tweet, roughly translated in English from Kannada, read.

In subsequent tweets, the JDS leader said that, "The central government has set up a PM Cares Fund for the fight against Corona. As MPs, entrepreneurs and citizens have made generous donations. BSY must convince Modi that the state has not received adequate financial support from the Center so far."

He further said that the package could be utilised for "medical procedures", "financial compensation for the affected people."

Kumaraswamy also said that "In addition to the 'COVID Package', other dues from the Center, including GST dues, flood relief, etc should also be asked for by BS Yediyurappa at the meeting with Modi."

PM Narendra Modi will hold a meeting, through video conference, with state Chief Ministers on Monday at 3 pm to discuss the prevailing COVID-19 situation in the country.

The Prime Minister had earlier interacted with Chief Ministers four times over the COVID-19 situation via video conferencing.

The upcoming interaction comes days ahead of the scheduled ending of the nationwide lockdown.

The ongoing lockdown, which was imposed to contain the spread of coronavirus, is scheduled to end on May 17.
