Dharwad/Karwar, May 12: Income Tax officials raided the house of Prashanth Kekere, a close aide of Mines and Geology Minister and Congress candidate from Dharwad, Vinay Kulkarni.

Kekere, who is Kulkarni’s campaign manager, was picked up by a team of five I-T officials from a lunch home on Thursday noon and taken to various places, before reaching his house in Saptapur. The officials searched his house, questioned him till Friday noon and examined several documents. Kekere has been asked to appear before at the I-T office on Monday, sources said.

Speaking to reporters, Kekere said that the officials found nothing incriminating during the search. He alleged that the raid on him was at the behest of BJP leaders to restrain him from campaigning for Kulkarni.

Sources said the I-T officials also searched the houses of three aides of Kulkarni on Thursday night.

Another team of I-T officials searched the house of Mangaldas Kamat, a close aide of MLA and Congress candidate from Karwar, Satish Sail, and inspected various documents on Friday.

Kolkata, Jan 12: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said a section of the youth is being misguided about the Citizenship Amendment Act and asserted that it will not take away anybody's citizenship.

Modi also said whoever has faith in India and believes in its Constitution can become an Indian citizen.

“There are a lot of questions among the youth about the new citizenship law, and some are being misled by rumours around it... it is our duty to clear their doubts,” the PM said during an address at Belur Math in Howrah district.

“I want to make this clear again that the CAA is not about taking away anybody's citizenship, but about granting citizenship,” he added.

Modi said that some people with political interests are deliberately spreading rumours about the new citizenship law.

Lauding the youth for speaking against religious persecution of minorities, the prime minister said the energy of the country's young will form the basis of change in the 21st century. The PM is on a two-day visit to the city.
