1. Who celebrate this day in the name of Love, are real fools. The real love is not confined to any definite day or date.

2. Why only on this day the Bhajrangis are concerned. Everyday the worst is happening. Our own Kannada film industry is also showing the worst sex promoting acts. Why these Bhajis can not at least talk on these films. There is no single film without so called licensed Hero heroins of sex promoters.

3. Even these Bhajis also go and watch such films. Many a time they buy ticket at black market.
It means there are licensed white colored sex promotions and poor people for another standard.

We are not supporting such acts, our question is why this double standard.

Police department is in right direction by getting the written statement (Muchchalige patra) by Bajarangi Kulal. This is the first time Police in action regarding law & order situation in Mangalore after SP Murugan transferred. However, I don't endorse valentine day, and it is upto the individuals.

Shivamogga, May 21: An FIR has been registered against Congress interim President Sonia Gandhi in Sagar taluk of Shivamogga district of Karnataka over tweets on May 11 by the party's official handle about PM-CARES fund.

The FIR, registered under Sections 153 (wantonly giving provocation with intent to cause riot) and 505 (statements conducing to public mischief) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), identifies Gandhi as the handler of the social media account.

The complaint by advocate Praveen KV alleged that the Congress party, through the tweets, has made rumourous statements against the Government of India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi and was trying to provoke the people against the government.

According to the FIR, the Congress party had on May 11, 2020, made false and baseless allegations, claimed misappropriation of PM-CARES Fund and cast aspersions on the Government of India through the tweets.

"A Twitter account handled by All India Congress Committee headed by Sonia Gandhi had on May 11, 2020, published tweets terming PM CARES Fund as PM CARES Fraud. They had claimed that the PM CARES fund is not being used for the public," Praveen KV told ANI on Thursday.

He said that he has collected all the details related to the tweets and account from the handle and filed a complaint in the matter, following which a preliminary enquiry was conducted and an FIR was registered in the matter.

"They had also said that the Prime Minister was enjoying and going to foreign trips with this fund. This is clearly rumourous news against the Government of India in this COVID-19 pandemic situation. In this regard, I had filed a complaint. After a primary enquiry, the Sagar Police has filed an FIR against Sonia Gandhi, who heads the INC Twitter account," Praveen KV said.
