Mangaluru, Jan 2: As the police hesitated to file a suo motu case against Dakshina Kannada MP Nalin Kumar Kateel who had openly threatened of setting his own constituency on fire, the local unit of Congress party on Monday lodged a complaint against the BJP leader at Konaje police station.

Addressing a protest meet organized by a Hindutva group on Sunday in front of Konaje police station Mr Kateel, one of the powerful BJP leaders in coastal Karnataka, had stated that they (Sangh pariwar) were capable of setting the district ablaze if the police failed to arrest those who involved in the murder of Karthik Raj, a local youth who was hacked to death on October 22 last year.

On Monday members of Ullal block congress led by Youth Congress leader Mithun Rai visited the Konaje police station and filed a complaint against Mr Kateel's provocative speech and demanded action against him.

Later, the Youth Congress staged a protest near Deputy Commissioner's office in Mangaluru to denounce the provocative speech of the BJP leader. Speaking on the occasion, Mr Rai said that BJP always tried to arson the coastal district whereas Congress always tried to douse the fire and establish peace and harmony.

“Being an elected representative and Member of the Parliament, Mr Kateel has not only backstabbed the people of his constituency but also threatened to set the entire constituency on fire,” he said and criticized the BJP for using the death of Karthik Raj for political gains.

He also expressed fear that BJP might create communal violence in Dakshina Kannada ahead of next Assembly polls and divide voters on communal lines. “People of the district should unite against those who intend to disturb peace for the selfish gains,” he added.

I've been browsing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours.
It's pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all site owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the net
will be a lot more useful than ever before.

Bengaluru, Jun 28: Criminal cases will be lodged against people for not adhering to the COVID-19 protocol in the city, said a top police official on Sunday.

"Deputy Commissioners of Police (DCPs) and BBMP (officials) are on the streets to enforce wearing of mask and social distancing. Warnings now, criminal cases will follow," said Police Commissioner Bhaskar Rao.

He exhorted people to insist on everybody wearing a mask and maintaining social distance.

"Urge every Bengalurean to enforce mask enforcement and social distancing. If people argue, call 100. We are ready to respond to your calls," said Rao.

Assuring the city residents, he said one should not worry about others being high and mighty while making sure everybody follows the Covid precautions.

"Don't bother about high and mighty factor, whosoever it is, just tell people around you to wear mask and not hanging around neck," said the Commissioner.

On Saturday, DCP Rohini Katoch Sepat conducted a special drive to ensure everybody is following the Covid rules.

"Conducted a special drive along with BBMP marshals, imposed fine for not wearing mask and social distancing," said Sepat.

The senior police officer had also sealed down some shops for not conforming to the social distancing directions.

Sepat personally made announcements through a megaphone, spoke to shopkeepers, pedestrians and walked the streets in enforcing the rules.

Similarly, Rao also warned commercial establishments of raids and legal action in the event of Covid rules violation.

"Shops, malls, banks, hotels, offices and establishments. All of you are already aware of precautions to be taken. If you do not implement mask wearing and ensure safe distance, city police will raid and initiate legal action," asserted Rao.

On Friday, Bengaluru North DCP Shashi Kumar closed down some shops which did not follow Covid rules and rewarded some shopkeepers who adhered to them with roses.

Bengaluru, Jul 28: Several state Congress leaders, including its President D K Shivakumar, among others, were detained by police as they tried to march towards Raj Bhavan here against the alleged attempts by BJP to topple the party's government in Rajasthan.

Shivakumar, along with Leader of the Opposition Siddaramaiah, state Congress Working President Eshwar Khandre, Salim Ahmed among others were stopped by the police midway as they marched from KPCC office towards Raj Bhavan.

Congress leaders then staged a dharna at the place where they were stopped. Addressing the gathering, Shivakumar accused the BJP of trying to "murder" democracy by destabilizing and removing elected governments.

"We wanted to protest against it and submit a memorandum to the President through the Governor," but the Karnataka government by using police was not letting them proceed towards Raj Bhavan, he said. "Despite our being a peaceful protest, the police stopped us," he said.

Siddaramaiah, echoing similar views, said peaceful protests against injustice was the right of every citizen. Alleging that the BJP was attempting to destabilise and remove the elected government in Rajasthan as it did in Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh, he said the Governor's office there (Rajasthan) was being 'misused'.

The Governor was working like an agent of the central government, he charged. He said, despite repeated appeals by the Rajasthan cabinet, the Governor there had not convened the assembly session, for the floor test to take place and for Congress to prove its majority. Police subsequently detained Shivakumar and some other Congress leaders and took them to a nearby police station.

They were later released. Meanwhile, as the Congress' protest amid Covid19 pandemic did not follow social distancing norms, Medical Education Minister K Sudhakar hit out at that party's leaders. In a tweet Sudhakar said, for Congress leaders getting publicity was more important than social concerns.
