Muslims in BJP’s favour; tickets only for winnable candidates: Yeddyurappa

Bengaluru, Nov 1: Minorities, backward classes and dalits in Karnataka will favour Bharatiya Janata Party in 2018 polls in spite of chief minister Siddaramaiah’s attempts to woo them, according to former BJP’s state president and CM candidate B S Yeddyurappa.

BJP did not field a single Muslim candidate in 2013 Karnataka Assembly polls and 2017 Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls. “The reason behind this is BJP’s decision to give tickets only to winnable candidates,” says Yeddyurappa.

The former CM asserts that BJP’s Ahinda agenda is inclusive of Muslims and other religious minorities. “Muslims also support us. In my tenure as CM, I searched for a Muslim (Mumtaz Ali Khan) to give an MLC seat. If Muslims were not in BJP’s favour, it would not have won in UP,” he said.

“Under the Bhagyalakshmi scheme I started in Karnataka for the welfare of the girl child, 50% of the beneficiaries are Muslims,” he claimed.

Kerala: Muslims Make Way For Hindu Temple Procession During Anti-CAA Protests

News Network

January 28,2020

Jan 28: Hindu temple processions with an elephant adorned in ornaments carrying the idol, with percussionists and devotees walking side by side, are no new sight in Kerala. However, a similar procession in Kerala's cultural capital, Thrissur, turned heads. Hundreds of Muslims were seen holding hands and clearing traffic to help the procession move smoothly.

Muslims made way for the passage of a Hindu temple procession during their protest against Citizenship Amendment Act(ACT) in Thrissur on Saturday, January 25.

Various Muslim organisations had organised a mass protest in the Swaraj ground in the town. On the same day, the local Bhaktapriyam temple's procession was also taking place. Stuck in a dilemma, the temple authorities approached the police and the Muslim organisations to find a solution. The Muslim organisations then promised to help proceed the temple procession without any obstacles.

Nearly a thousand people who had turned up for the protest volunteered to clear traffic and control the crowd so that the temple procession could smoothly pass through the town.

A video of the procession was shared on Facebook by the Thrissur City Police on Saturday, which showed Muslims holding hands on either side of the procession to make way.

"Humanity is bigger than religion. That's the lesson the residents of Thrissur are giving to the country. Thrissur is truly the cultural capital of Kerala," read the caption of the post in Malayalam. The video soon went viral and was viewed by over 36k views.

Karnataka cops arrest 4 peddlers from Kerala, seize drugs worth Rs 1.25 cr

News Network

July 29,2020

Bengaluru, July 29: The Central Crime Branch arrested four international drug peddlers belonging to Kerala and recovered drugs worth Rs 1.25 crore from them, said Karnataka Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Wednesday.

"We have started a war on drugs. Our agenda is to curb the drug mafia not only in Bengaluru, but in entire Karnataka. Many people are involved in the drug mafia. They are targeting students, other states, and international students who can spend and afford to become victims," said Bommai.

The recovered items include 2,000 kg LSD strips, 110 grams MDMA Cristol, 10 ecstasy tablets, 5 kg Ganja, five cell phones, weighing machine and pouches.

"When we raided a house in Soladevanahally police station area, we arrested Shahad Mohammed, Azmal, Ajin KG Verghese and Nitin Mohan. All are from Kerala and we will arrest their contacts as well. They are involved in the dark web mafia," Bommai said.

He said the peddlers were using post offices and couriers for their business.

"I'll speak to the central government, the home ministry and postal department, and other issues related to this mafia. Canada, Netherlands, and other nations are also involved in this mafia," said the state home minister.

"People from influential backgrounds are also involved in this mafia, but our objective is zero tolerance. We are using our intelligence. Drugs are coming from other states like AP, Goa, and other states," he said.
Bommai said he was personally addressing this case and appealed for support from parents, schools and colleges.

"I'm addressing this issue personally because it's important to curb the drug mafia. I need support from schools and college managements and parents. I'll also call college and hostel managements before colleges start. We will make managements responsible," he said.
