Bengaluru, Jul 1: As many as four Congress leaders have filed a petition in the Karnataka High Court, challenging their defeat in the recent Assembly elections and have cited EVM hacking as the reason.

Those approached the court include two former MLAs from Dakshina Kannada district. They are: B A Mohiuddin Bava, who lost to Dr Bharath Shetty in Mangaluru North and J R Lobo, who lost to Vedavyas Kamath in Mangaluru South.

After the announcement of results, both of them had claimed that EVMs had been tampered with in their constituencies.

Apart from them, M K Somashekar, who lost from Krishnaraja of Mysuru and Vasu who lost Chamaraja in Mysuru have approached the court. 

Interestingly, all these four Congress candidates were defeated by less known candidates from BJP.

Bengaluru, May 31: With places of worship expected to reopen on June 8, the Karnataka State Minorities Commission has released guidelines for mosques and dargahs, that include social distancing, temperature testing and compulsory hand washing.

Abdul Azeem, commission chairman said, "Everyone will have to maintain one-metre distance and carry their prayer mats. They will all be scanned and Farz prayers will be held for 10-15 minutes. Friday prayers should be completed within 20 minutes."

Distribution of tabarukh, shaking hands, and overcrowding inside mosques will not be allowed.  The Muzrai department also issued guidelines for temples, like mandatory face masks, sanitisation of sanctum sanctorum and thermal screening.

In a letter, the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowment Department mentioned that while temple authorities and devotees should wear masks, priests, helpers and workers are exempt, in the core area of the temple.

"Devotees should be scanned using infrared thermometers at the temple entrance, and must be given hand sanitiser. The temple trust is expected to bear the expenses," it added.
