Handover Gauri Lankesh murder case to Modi govt’s agency: BJP

Bengaluru, Sept 6: The leader of opposition in Assembly Jagadish Shettar has urged the state government to handover the probe into the killer of journalist-activist Gauri Lankesh to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

It is worth mentioning here that Gauri Lankesh, who was a trenchant critic of Prime Minister Narendra Modi led government and Sangh Parivar, had portrayed CBI as a puppet in the hands of BJP and Modi govt.

Speaking to media persons here on Wednesday, he said it has been two years since the murder of researcher M M Kalburgi took place in Dharwad, yet the State government has not been able to crack the case. If the government does not want this case (Gauri killing) too to go in that direction, they should hand over the case to CBI.

He said the State government should take strict action against anyone found guilty in the case, irrespective of how mighty he may be.

Shettar said there is a complete collapse in law and order situation in Karnataka, as in the last one year alone the State has seen 18 political/ideological murders taking place, including those belonging to right-wing ideology.

As a responsible opposition party, we will question the government on the political murders, including that of M M Kalburgi and Gauri Lankesh, he said and added that the political murder cases will be discussed in our Mangaluru meet which is scheduled to be held on September 7,” he said.

Dharwad MP Prahlad Joshi, demanding a CBI inquiry, asked people not pre-judge on the case and wait till the emergence of complete details in the case. “State government is completely clueless about the political and ideological killings taking place in Karnataka,” he said.

If so ask Modi to catch killers of of Mr. Pansare and Mr. Dabolkar in Maharashtra.

 

First solve the unresolved cases in the BJP ruled state, Maharashtra and thereafter take that as a model  and attack Congress government in Karnataka.

 

If you are not able to do this then for Godsake keep silent.

Gadag, May 9: It is the month of April, and the season of mangoes is very much here. However, the mango farmers of Gadag are suffering huge losses amid the coronavirus lockdown due to the absence of transportation facilities along with several other issues that have been impacting their business adversely.

Speaking to media persons, Vishwanath Odugowdar, a mango farmer said, "Due to transportation problems we are not being able to export mangoes to different countries. We are trying to sell them in nearby markets."

"We are not in a situation to pack, transport and export the mangoes to different countries as we did earlier especially 
when it comes to Alphonso mangoes which is one of the most loved varieties. So, we are packing mangoes at our place. Somehow this year we have got very good quality of mangoes," he added.

Farmers here are incurring huge losses as mandis and markets across the country are shut while the transport of Alphonso mangoes has also come to a halt owing to the lockdown.

The small and medium scale farmers in places like Gadag, Dharwad, Bagalkote in north Karnataka have started packing the mangoes themselves in their farms in a bid to sell the fruit themselves.
