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.

Bengaluru, July 31: Denying irregularities in covid-19 equipment purchase by the Karnataka government, the state unit of the BJP has issued legal notices to Congress leaders Siddaramaiah and D K Shivakumar demanding that they apologize or face a defamation suit. 

The notices seek a public apology for the allegations levelled against the government on irregularities in the procurement of Covid-19 equipment and supplies. 

Both Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar, the Karnataka Congress president, have been doggedly pursuing allegations of corruption against the BJP government and have demanded a judicial inquiry. 

BJP general secretary N Ravi Kumar said that while the Congress leaders claimed that Rs 4,157 crore was spent during Covid-19, they also allege that the government has not responded to any of the 20 letters written by them. "If the government has not provided any answer to the Opposition, where did they get the figures from," he said.

None of the allegations of corruption is specific and the statements made are factually incorrect. "These statements, without any basis, have been issued calculatedly to lower the image and damage the reputation of the government, the Bharatiya Janata Party, representatives of the party and the ministers in the government," the notice issued on behalf of Ravi Kumar read.
