Karnataka flag row: ‘Why is BJP not reacting’ asks Shiv Sena

Mumbai, Jul 25: Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray criticised and questioned the silence of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led Union government for not taking a strict view of the Karnataka government’s demand for a separate flag.

The Sena said such a demand is an offence and sedition charges should be charged against them regarding this.

“States like Karnataka are demanding their own flags…leave the Congress, but what about the BJP,” Thackeray said in an interview to Marathi mouthpiece, Saamana, and its Marathi tabloid version, Dophar ka Samaana, on the eve of his 57th birthday on 27 July.

He later said “Let the central government dissolve the Siddaramaiah-led Congress government in Karnataka or stop all assistance to it. The Narendra Modi-led Central government will not take any tough steps in Karnataka because the BJP wants to win the upcoming assembly election there.”

“It is unfortunate that the BJP has not been able to reverse the special status to Jammu & Kashmir.” He added.

Undivided Dakshina Kannada was always peaceful. Once Sangh parivar came to power in Karnataka previous election the atrocities started. Killings , murders, attacks on churches and properties of minorities. Kannadigas do we need Non Residents of karnataka to dictate whom to vote in 2018 elections. 2023 elections we may not be alive.

Bengaluru, Aug 7: The condition of former Chief Minister and leader of the Opposition in the Karnataka Assembly Siddaramaiah, who recently tested positive for COVID-19, is clinically stable and he is responding to COVID-19 treatment, the hospital authorities said on Friday.

"Leader of the opposition and former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is clinically stable and responding to COVID-19 treatment. He is comfortable and his appetite has improved. Our team of experts will continue to monitor him closely," Manipal Hospital said in a health bulletin.

Siddaramaiah had informed on Twitter on August 4 that he tested positive for COVID-19 and admitted himself to a hospital.

Bengaluru, Feb 26: The police remand of student activist Amulya Leona Noronha, who was produced before a Magistrate, after a no-show at the Metropolitan Magistrate Court, was extended by 10 more days.

The Fifth Additional Metropolitan Magistrate at the Magistrate's home on Tuesday night had remanded her to police custody for 10 days, less than the 14 days asked for by the Special Investigative Team, considering that she has already spent over four days in judicial custody.

Amulya Noronha, a student of NMKRV College for Women, had raised pro-Pakistan slogans by shouting ''Pakistan Zindabad'' at an anti-CAA protest in Bangalore on 20th February following which the city police filed a case of sedition against her.
