Mangaluru, Mar 25: Mithun Rai, the Congress candidate for Dakshina Kannada Lok Sabha constituency, today filed his nomination papers for next month’s general elections. Janata Dal (Secular) also has extended support to Mr Rai as per seat sharing deal between the two parties.

Prior to the filing of nomination, the president of Dakshina Kannada Youth Congress flaunted his strength as the workers of both Congress and JD(S) took out a massive rally from Town Hall to the deputy commissioner’s office. 

At a party workers’ convention held at Town Hall, Rai thanked all senior leaders, especially D K Shivakumar for proposing his name to contest from Dakshina Kannada seat and supporting him. 

“I am thankful to all senior Congress leaders, who unanimously suggested my name to contest from here. I remember the words of my guru in politics D K Shivakumar, who used to tell me that ‘a leader is the one who makes another leader, not followers,” he said.

He also thanked KPCC president Dinesh Gundo Rao, coalition coordination committee chairman Siddaramaiah, deputy chief minister G Parameshwara, JD(S) chief HD Deve Gowda and chief minister HD Kumaraswamy.

Bengaluru, Feb 8: The BJP on Saturday drew flak on Twitter for taking a swipe at Muslim women who appear to be standing in a line to vote in Delhi's assembly polls. ""Kaagaz Nahi Dikayenge Hum" ! ! ! Keep the documents safe, you will need to show them again during NPR exercise (sic)," the party's Karnataka Twitter handle posted using the hashtag #DelhiPolls2020. 

The video, which appears to have been taken from one of the polling booths in Delhi on Saturday, shows burqa-clad women flashing their voter ID cards. While the threatening tone of the tweet is unmissable, the tweet contradicts the government's statement that no person needs to submit any documents during the house-to-house survey for updating the National Population Register (NPR) and that information provided by individuals would be accepted and recorded. 

The tweet has added to the prevailing confusion regarding the NPR exercise in the country. 

The NPR is a list of "usual residents" of the country. In 2010, the data for NPR was collected along with the house-listing phase of the Census of India 2011. The data was updated in 2015 by conducting a door-to-door survey.

Currently, it has been decided to update the NPR along with the house-listing phase of Census 2021 during April to September 2020 in all the states/union territories except Assam.

Most of the opposition parties see NPR as a prelude to the contentious National Register of Citizens (NRC), which has been opposed by even NDA allies like the JD(U). The NPR questionnaire asked details like the birthplace of parents. In combination with the recently amended citizenship law, protesters fear that the registry might be eventually used for NRC. 

As a result, people, predominantly Muslims, have hit the streets as India witnesses one of the most widespread civilian unrest of recent times.
