The MPs of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party from Karnataka too displayed placards and drew the attention on the need to protect honest officers in the State.

They were apparently referring to transfer of Indian Police Service officer Roopa D Moudgil by the State Government after she exposed that the imprisoned All India Anna Dravida Munnethra Kazhagam (AIADMK) Amma leader V Sasikala was being provided special facilities and services in a jail in Bengaluru. Shobha Karandlaje and other BJP MPs from Karnataka also staged a protest in the premises of Parliament against transfer of Roopa by the Congress Government in the State.

The Lok Sabha witnessed uproar as several MPs of the opposition parties like Congress, Trinamool Congress, Rashtriya Janata Dal, Communist Party of India (Marxist) trooped into the well of the House. They raised slogans slamming the BJP-led Government for failing to help the farmers and to stop the lynching of people by the cow vigillantes.

The noisy protests started shortly after the House assembled for the day and Speaker moved to start the proceedings of the Question Hour.

The opposition MPs, who came to the well, held up placards that read “Gau mata toh bahana hai, Karz maafi se dhyan hatana hai (clamour for protection of cow just a tactic for diverting people's attention from farmers' demand for loan waiver), and “Who allowed Vijay Mallya (business tycoon accused of loan default) to leave the country?” Speaker Sumitra Mahajan repeatedly asked the MPs to go back to their seats. Her efforts to continue the proceedings of the Question Hour however failed as the ruckus went on. She then adjourned the House till 12 noon.

When the House reassembled, the uproar continued as the opposition MPs returned to the well and started raising slogans against the Government. Speaker then adjourned the House for the day.

Bengaluru, April 3: The ASHA worker, who was attacked by locals in Sadiq layout area in Bengaluru while conducting a coronavirus survey, on Friday expressed satisfaction with police action in the matter.

"I am happy that five people have been arrested for attacking me while I was conducting a survey in view of COVID-19 in Sadiq layout area in Bengaluru on April 1. We serve the people and work for the betterment of the society," Krishnaveni, the ASHA worker, told news agency here.

ASHA workers, who were deployed to spread awareness about coronavirus and identify suspected cases, were allegedly attacked by a group of locals in the area on Wednesday.

"We had been conducting surveys for the past 14 days ever since a positive coronavirus case was identified in the area. A person came and asked why we were gathering information. We informed him that a positive case was identified in the area," Krishnaveni said.

"They made an announcement from the mosque not to give any information to us. Afterwards, several people came out of their houses and started attacking us," she added.

Police initiated an investigation and have made arrests in the matter.

This comes as the country is under a 21-day lockdown to prevent the spread of coronavirus, which has claimed the lives of at least 56 people and infected over 2,000 people.

New Delhi, Feb 20: The Supreme Court on Thursday stayed the non-bailable warrants issued against the state Director General of Police (DGP) and Inspector General of Police (IGP) by the Karnataka High Court.

A bench of Chief Justice SA Bobde stayed the non-bailable warrants while hearing a plea filed by the Karnataka government.

Earlier today, the apex court had agreed to hear the matter today itself after Solicitor General Tushar Mehta mentioned the matter before it.

Tushar Mehta had pointed that Home Secretary has been asked by the High Court to execute the non-bailable warrants and said that this order is "unusual".

Karnataka High Court had earlier issued non-bailable warrants against the top cops in a case.
