Gauri murder: No contact with absconding members, claims Sanatan Sanstha

Bengaluru, Oct 7: Hardline Hindutva outfit Sanatan Sanstha on Saturday claimed that it was being defamed in connection with the murder of senior journalist-activist Gauri Lankesh.

"There must be proof of the crime. Just because someone is missing does not mean he or she has committed the crime," Sanatan Sanstha spokesperson Chetan Rajhans said.

Five members of the Sanatan Sanstha are suspected of murdering Lankesh, and of being involved in a bomb blast in Madgaon, Goa in 2009. The suspects are: Jayaprakash alias Anna (45), from Mangaluru; Praveen Limkar (34), from Kolhapur; Sarang Akolkar (38), from Pune; Rudra Patil (37), from Sangli and Vinay Pawar (32), from Satara. All of them are absconding.

Asked about the whereabouts of the five absconding members, Rajhans informed that the organisation has not been in contact with them since 2009. He assured that the organisation will assist in the investigations.

"The allegations are baseless, and false propaganda is being circulated by anti-Hindu elements. It seems like a preplanned conspiracy to defame the Hindu religion," Rajhans added.

Rajhans said there has been no official statement by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) of Karnataka, to suggest that the organisation is involved in the case.

Karnataka Home Minister Ramalinga Reddy has said that the Special Investigation Team (SIT) has received 'some information and clues' about the Lankesh murder case. Gauri was murdered on September 5 outside her residence in Bengaluru's Rajarajeshwari Nagar.

Bengaluru, May 27: Congress leader Siddaramaiah on Wednesday hit out at Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa-led Karnataka government for allegedly "betraying" the people by not fulfilling its Rs 1,610 crore COVID-19 package promise.

Taking a dig at Yediyurappa over the matter, the Congress leader tweeted, "Chief Minister of Karnataka BS Yediyurappa has betrayed people by not fulfilling his Rs 1,610 crore package promise. He seems to be following his @BJP4India leader @PMOIndia @narendramodi."

"Crisis and vulnerability should not be misused for political gains and BJP for India is insensitive towards the same," the former Karnataka Chief Minister said.

On May 6, Yediyurappa had urged migrant workers to stay back as construction activities have resumed and announced a Rs 1,610 crores COVID-19 financial package for the state.

"A package of Rs 1,610 crores will be released as COVID-19 financial relief. One time compensation of Rs 5,000 will be given to 2,30,000 barbers and 7,75,000 drivers," the Chief Minister said.

Referring to media reports, Siddarmiah cornered the state government for asking the licence to release funds for unorganised sector workers.

"How can we expect washermen and other unorganised sector workers to have licence for their work?" he asked.

It looks like Karnataka Chief Minister is very far from reality, he added.
