Bengaluru, Apr 7: Accusing the Prime Minister Narendra Modi of cheating Indians by not fulfilling promises, activist-turned-politician Jignesh Mevani has urged the people of Karnataka to disrupt the former’s rallies in Karnataka ahead of assembly polls. 

The video of Mevani calling upon the people to question Mr Modi and disrupt April 15 rally if he fails to give suitable answers is now going viral on social media. Mevani was addressing a gathering in Chitradurga. 

In the video, Mevani called for people to enter Modi’s rally, throw chairs in the air and question the prime minister's promise to generate two crores worth of employment in the state. He said that if Modi does not answer, then he should be asked to leave and take shelter at a Ram Mandir in the Himalayas.

“I am not here to support any political party," Mevani said in the video. "I am here to awake the mass about the risk of fascism and ensure that BJP doesn’t enter South India.”

Mevani is campaigning against the BJP in Karnakata before the assembly elections. Previously, Mevani had said that he would ask every Dalit in Karnataka not to vote for the BJP and called the party casteist, communal and fascist. 

FIR lodged

Meanwhile, police have registered an FIR against Mevani acting on a complaint by BJP's Chitradurga district president K S Naveen. The saffron party has lodged another complaint with the Election Commission over Mevani's remarks.

Bengaluru, Apr 17: The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting on Thursday served a show cause notice to a Kannada news channel for broadcasting a programme in which it purportedly said that the Centre would 'air drop money' to the poor, owing to the COVID-19 lockdown.

The notice said that the channel was "spreading false information, creating panic and social unrest.

" The channel had allegedly aired a show titled, "Helicopter Money" on Wednesday which claimed that the Centre would drop money from helicopters during the lockdown period.

A Twitter user took a serious note of it and complained to the Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting Prakash Javadekar.

The fact check team of the Press Information Bureau, under the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, refuted the claim.

In its notice to the channel, PIB said, "You are hereby directed to show cause why your channel should not be taken out of air immediately. You are instructed to send your reply in this regard within 10 days of receipt of this notice."

Reacting to the notice, the management of the news channels said, "A programme which has been seen in bits and pieces and those who have not even seen the programme appears to have complained. Notice will be replied accordingly."
