Bengaluru, Nov 10: The Supreme Court of India today refused to intervene in a plea by Rashtriya Hindu Sena chief Pramod Muthalik, who alleged that the Congress party in its election manifesto in Karnataka is seeking votes in the name of religion. The allegation is rubbished as baseless by the Congress party.

A Bench comprising Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justices A.M. Khanwilkar and D.Y. Chandrachud said the election process has started and it cannot intervene.

The Assembly election in Karnataka will be held on May 12, 2018 in 223 of the 224 constituencies. The results are scheduled to be announced on May 15.

In a short order dismissing the petition, Chief Justice Misra, speaking for the Bench, said after the election is over, if the parties feel aggrieved, they can come under the requisite provisions under the Representation of People Act.

Mr. Muthalik had also sought directions to the Election Commission of India (ECI) to delete the Congress party’s alleged appeal in its manifesto.

Advocate Vishnu Jain had argued that there is a seven-judge Bench judgment which prohibits seeking of votes in the name of religion.

The plea had sought disqualification of those Congress candidates who are allegedly seeking votes in name of religion in the Karnataka polls. The Assembly election in Karnataka will be held in 223 of the 224 constituencies.

Bengaluru, May 20: An owner of a hair cutting training salon in the city has given shelter to the jobless IT professionals and migrant workers hailing from north-eastern states and Nepal, in his salon.

Rahul Rai, the owner said, "The moment the lockdown started then I received many complaints from different corners that several persons became jobless and they were thrown out of their rented accommodations."

"They are from different states of the North-east and some of them are from Nepal also. I converted my hair-cutting training salon into a shelter home for them," he added.

A person who got shelter at the salon said, "I lost my job after the lockdown started. I was facing a lot of issues after my landlord had evicted me from my rented accommodation. I spent about a week nearby a lake. I managed to contact Rahul Rai through Facebook and he rescued me along with many others."
