‘HRD minister more concerned about Karnataka polls, not about paper leak’

Bengaluru, Apr 3: Congress leader M V Rajeev Gowda on Monday said Union Human Resource Development Minister Prakash Javadekar was more concerned about the BJP's election strategy in Karnataka and demanded his ouster over the leakage of the CBSE question paper.

"The paper leak is an after-effect of the disastrous policies and neglect of education by the Modi government. That the HRD Minister is more concerned about the booth-level election strategy of BJP in Karnataka only adds to the worry," Gowda, a Rajya Sabha member who is also a member of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on HRD, told reporters.

Javadekar is the election in-charge of the BJP in Karnataka, which goes to polls on May 12.

Gowda also took potshots at IAS officer Anita Karwal, who is the CBSE chairperson. "She has spent more time marketing her book about mountaineering than judiciously undertaking her duties," he charged.

The leakage of the Class 10 Mathematics and Class 12 Economics question papers has affected nearly 20 lakh students across India. A re-examination of the Class 12 economics paper will be held on April 25.

Netizens target BJP after video of Sangh Parivar ‘man’ in burqa goes viral

June 16,2020

Vijayapura, June 16: Even as a video of a man wearing a burqa who is being thrashed by locals is going viral on social media, netizens targeted Bharatiya Janata Party for their activist resorting to heinous acts.

The man who was caught in burqa has been identified as Siddu Paragond, an activist of Snagh Parivar hailing from Sindgi town in Karnataka’s Vijayapura district.

The bizarre incident took place in Sindgi on June 11 outside a bank.

“While people including women were standing in a queue outside the bank, the person in burqa was acting in a suspicious manner. The person was trying to get too close to women which was making them feel awkward,” local residents said.

“Getting suspicious, some locals tried to interact and their suspicion rose with the strange behaviour of the person. Suddenly some men took the person away from the bank and checked only to find that it was a man in burqa. The men thrashed him and handed him over to police,” the sources said.

Confirming this, Superintendent of Police Anupam Agrawal said that the Siddu Paragond has been arrested and remanded to judicial custody. He, however, made it clear that no suspicious objects were found on Siddu. “We are trying to find out the motive for his act,” the SP said.
