Mangaluru, Dec 30: Dakshina Kannada Deputy Commissioner Sasikanth Senthil has issued orders to extern two persons including a leader of Hindu Jagarana Vedike (HJV) for six months on charge of causing communal riots in Bantwal taluk earlier this year.

A clash between HJV leader Ratnakar Shetty and one Ibrahim Khaleel at Kalladka on June 13 had snowballed into communal clash in the region. Shetty had stabbed Khaleel. Both had filed complaints against each other at Bantwal Town Police.

While Khaleel was arrested soon after he got admitted to a hospital, Shetty, who had suffered minor injuries in the clash, was arrested nearly two months later.

Superintendent of Police Sudhir Kumar Reddy said that both of them were involved in several crimes and rowdy-sheets have been opened against them at Bantwal Rural police station.

An application for externment of Ratnakar Shetty and Khaleel was pending before the deputy commissioner for the past two months. After several hearings, the deputy commissioner on Friday ordered them to stay out of Dakshina Kannada district for six months, he said.

No PFI connection

Meanwhile, the local unit of Popular Front of India has rubbished the reports of some news portals that portrayed Ibrahim Khaleel as a PFI activist. “Khaleel is not a PFI activist. He has no connection with PFI” stated Navaz Ullal, DK district president of PFI.

Bengaluru, Jan 6: JD(S) leader H D Kumaraswamy on Monday said he would not get involved in any 'wicked act' of bringing down the B S Yediyurappa-led government in Karnataka, amid claims that 15 to 20 BJP MLAs were ready to come out.

Clarifying that he would not disturb the government, the former Chief Minister said for him, the development of the state was important. "With great difficulty, you (Yediyurappa) have become Chief Minister for the fourth time, (I am) happy, I have nowhere said that I will disturb your government. Even now some people come and ask why I'm sitting silent when 15-20 people are ready to come out of BJP and why don't I make an attempt (to poach them), Kumaraswamy said. Speaking to reporters in Hassan, he sought to know why he should get entangled in that 'sludge' and he was not in a hurry.

"I will not get involved in a wicked act of removing a responsible government like Yediyurappa did. For me the development of the state is important," he said.

Though Kumaraswamy had raised questions about the longevity of the BJP government ahead of the December 5 bypolls, he had even then given clear indications that he would not attempt to pull down the administration as it would affect the development of the state.

The ruling BJP had swept the by-elections by winning 12 of the total 15 seats, helping the Yediyurappa government retain the majority in the Assembly.

With BJP winning 12 of the 15 assembly constituencies, it's numbers went up from 105 (including an independent) to 117, which is well ahead of the halfway mark of 111 in a 223-member Assembly (two seats-- Maski and R R Nagar-- are vacant due to pending litigation in the High Court).

The BJP came to power after the Kumaraswamy-led Congress-JD(S) coalition government collapsed as 17 MLAs had rebelled against the alliance leadership and resigned as legislators, to later favour the saffron party.
