HDK reignites suspicions over death of BSY’s wife, says ‘I had chance to get him arrested’

News Network

Bengaluru, Sept 21: Former chief minister and Janata Dal (Secular) leader HD Kumaraswamy has reignited the controversy surrounding the death of CM BS Yediyurappa’s wife.

The body of Maitradevi was found in a sump at their house in Shivamogga under suspicious circumstances in 2004.

“How can a person slip in a sump which had just one-foot water and die? Unfortunately, people have accepted it and the person (Yediyurappa) in question has become the saviour of our state,” Kumaraswamy said in his constituency Channapatna on Friday.

Insisting that he does not indulge in vendetta politics, the former CM said he could have sent Yediyurappa to jail by setting up a special investigation team to probe ‘audiogate’, where the BJP leader purportedly tries to purchase MLAs.

Defending Congress leader DK Shivakumar, who was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate, Kumaraswamy quoted newspaper reports and said ED sleuths have wondered how Shivakumar amassed his wealth. “He has been filing tax returns for 20-25 years. Why didn’t I-T officials question his income then? Why now?” he asked.

Kumaraswamy said Shivakumar would not have been in the current predicament had he ordered a probe into alleged corruption in the energy department when Yediyurappa was the chief minister from 2008 to 2010.

News Network

January 4,2020

Alappuzha, Jan 4: The management committee of a mosque in Kerala is all set to solemnize the wedding of a Hindu couple, setting yet another instance of the communal harmony prevailing in Kerala.

The Cheravally Muslim Jamaat Committee at Kayamkulam in Alappuzha district in South Kerala is conducting the marriage of Anju and Sharath after the bride's mother approached the Jamaat authorities seeking help.

The marriage will be held at the mosque premises on January 19 as per Hindu rituals and the Jamaat Committee has also prepared the invitations.

Anju's father Ashokan died a few years back and her mother Bindhu was struggling to win bread for her three children. Nujumudeen Alummoottil, a businessman and secretary of the Jamaat had helped the family earlier also.

Hence Bindu sought his help for the marriage of Anju. Nujumudeen discussed it with other members of the Jamaat committee and members of the mosque.

Najumudeen said that there was no hesitation from anyone on conducting the marriage by the mosque at its premises. A gift in cash and gold would be also given to the couple.

Kerala recently witnessed a church allowing the Muslim believers who participated in an anti-CAA meet to offer namaz at the church premises and another church conducting a carol service with the youth of the parish dressed up in traditional Muslim attire.

Well educated, good decision makers , intelects and wise people are keralites.

Kerala is unique in India for cordial relation between different religions. However, this is not being digested by sanghis and are trying to build gulf between the communities. I am sure that people will not let theese anti national succeed in their wicked behaviour. This communal harmoney is a slap on the faces of enemies of society. Well done keralites. Salute to all of you.
