In his attempt to portray the ruling Congress government of Karnataka as anti-Hindu, senior BJP leader and Dharwad Pralhad Joshi has called chief minister Siddaramaiah a ‘Mullah’. He also slammed Inspector General of Police (western range) Hemant Nimbalkar, who foiled several attempts of communal forces to create riots in coastal Karnataka.

Speaking at a protest meeting organised by Hindu Hitarakshana Samiti in Hubballi, he said the 'Mulla Siddaramaiah' government was engaged in acts of Muslim appeasement and was torturing patriots and protecting anti-nationals.

Mr Joshi, who served as the state president of BJP in the past, also dragged Pakistan to Karnataka. He Joshi said that there were vested interests that want to convert India into Pakistan and organisations such as the RSS, VHP and ABVP were the main hurdles for them. "We know how to chop the tongues of those who say Pakistan zindabad," he said, adding the word 'legally'.

He alleged that anti-nationals and terrorists were getting protection from Siddaramaiah and the State was on the way to becoming another West Bengal and Kerala, where Hindus had no protection.

Mr Joshi said that the Hindus were in danger and the killings of Hindus in Karnataka should be a wake-up call to all to come out and protest. He accused Mr Siddaramaiah of protecting activists of the Popular Front of India and the Karnataka Forum for Dignity (KFD). “After coming to power, the Siddaramaiah-led government has withdrawn cases against 1,700 PFI and KFD activists,” he claimed.

He described IGP Hemant Nimbalkar as a 'chamcha' of Siddaramaiah, since cases were booked under Section 307 of the IPC against many Hindutva activists including BJP workers in Sirsi, Uttara Kannada district for trying to create communal riots.

Bengaluru, Jan 19: Australia has conferred its highest civilian honour, the Order of Australia honour, on Biocon founder Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw for her contribution towards advancing the country's relationship with India.

Australia's High Commissioner to India Harinder Sidhu invested Mazumdar-Shaw as an Honorary Member within the Order of Australia (AM) in the General Division at a ceremony in Bengaluru on Friday, the Australian High Commission said in a statement.

An alumnus of Federation University Australia, Mazumdar-Shaw is the founder of Biocon, one of India's largest bio-pharmaceutical companies.

She contributes immensely to promoting women in STEM through the joint research programmes developed between Biocon and Deakin University, Australia, as part of her deep and long-standing commitment to gender equality, the statement said.

Mazumdar-Shaw - an Australian Global Alumni Ambassador - is also recognised for her sustained and significant contribution to industry academia collaboration between Australia and India, it said.

The ceremony was attended by representatives from Indian and Australian business, the diplomatic corps, and family, friends and peers of Mazumdar-Shaw, the statement said.

Speaking at the event, Sidhu said, "Dr Mazumdar-Shaw is a tireless champion of the commercial, educational, and people-to-people links between our two countries, and this award recognises her commitment to progressing the Australia-India partnership."

Honorary appointments in the Order of Australia are made to foreign nationals who have made an outstanding contribution to Australia or humanity at large.

Mazumdar-Shaw is the fourth Indian citizen to be awarded Australia's highest civilian honour.

This follows the conferment of superstar batsman Sachin Tendulkar in 2012, Former Attorney General of India Soli Jehangir Sorabjee in 2006, and Mother Teresa of Kolkata (Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu) in 1982.
