Newsroom, Jan 24: BJP leader and Udupi-Chikkamagaluru MP Shobha Karandlaje has been booked by Kerala police over a misleading and communally provocative social media post.
Karandlaje had tweeted that that Hindus from a colony in Kuttipuram in Malappuram district were denied water supply as they supported the the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).
"Kerala is taking baby steps to become another Kashmir. Hindus of Kuttipuram Panchayat of Malappuram was denied water supply as they supported #CAA2019. #SevaBharati has been supplying water ever since. Will Lutyens telecast this intolerance of PEACEFULS frm God's Own Country!?," she tweeted.
A case has been booked under section 153(A) of IPC (promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, race etc). Karandlaje took to Twitter to slam the Kerala government, and said it had lodged a complaint against her instead of acting against the discrimination faced by dalit families of Cherukunnu.
"It is high time the society unites against these pressure tactics of a non-performing, biased left government," she said.
Karandlaje claimed that the CAA had been accepted by both houses of Parliament and people supporting the Act were facing boycott in business and were being denied basic amenities and jobs. "The CPI(M) government is blind to all these incidents across Kerala, but files a case against me for speaking the truth!" she retorted.
According to reportage from multiple outlets, the colony in Malappuram district's Kuttippuram was dependent on a private individual for water; then came accusations that they were denied the water for attending BJP's pro-CAA rally.
A resident of the colony was quoted by a newspaper, “We were denied drinking water because our husbands participated in a meeting organised to gather support for the CAA. Some people told the family that they should not give drinking water to us because CAA is a threat to the people in their community.”
However, the individual in question denied the accusation, claiming a lack of water because of technical issues.
The case was registered after a complaint by lawyer Subhash Chandran, a resident of Malappuram. Aravindan E.A., SI of Kuttippuram police, said, "From a private person's borewell, water was being provided to the people of the colony. This motor had taken for agricultural work and he was recently issued a warning by State Electricity Board. He was told that if he uses the motor for any other purpose, power supply would be disconnected. He then had stopped using the pump following the crisis worsened.”
“Indians are failing to uphold the principles of Hindu religion,” lamented Dr K Marulasiddappa, the former chairman of the Karnataka Nataka Academy and an exponent of drama.

OK let's believe hinduism is fake, but why you guys don't teach quran in right way to terrorist.
Give me any verse from gita which say kill those non-bealiver who does not believe krishna. It's not your duty to kill innocent people at all.
You guys are already brainwashed, hence you never get what is humanity. In daily prayer, you don't seek help from GOD, you just say only allah should be worship, other are fake. It is not prayer, is it making someone into box, which he will never get out of it in whole life.
When Buddhist or Muslims ruled India was their greatest time period in history.
i take pity on wrong beliefs for Hinduism. The best available books on management,maths,politics,economics,philosophy,exercise,yoga are the parts of Hindu religion. The oldest religion in the world.
The people in the world are highly motivated and inspired by hindu religion.
muslims are safe only in countries where they are in minority, wherever they are in majority they are nuisance to themselves as well as others, take any country for example. Imagine if india was muslim country, muslims will make life hell for themselves.
No body will worship a sadist god who will burn some one eternally in hell for their finite crimes. No one believes that soul which has no birth and death is extracted from living , given a new body at time of judgement day and eternally lives in heaven or hell.
No one believes in a god who comes here and there and talk nonsense to so called angels and prophets , but can be heard only , not seen. No one believes in a god who is somewhere up above only but not everywhere or beyond space and time limitations.
