Bengaluru, June 8: Dubbing the current political situation in Karnataka as 'ludicrous,' Union Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Ananth Kumar said the new JDS-Congress coalition government was direction less and only temporary.

Speaking to reporters here, he said the newgovernment was direction less with the Chief Minister naming 25 ministers without any portfolios.

"Even though the people had given the highest number of seatsto the BJP in the assembly elections, JD(S) and Congress made a back door entry to power. This (government) is only temporary,"he said.

He pointed out that already there was rebellion and dissatisfaction among leaders and cadre of JD(S) andCongress.

"The workers are not happy with the coalition of the two parties, which were at loggerheads before the elections.

Therefore the coalition will be a short-lived one,"Kumarsaid.

Asked to comment on former president Pranab Mukherjee's speechat the RSS headquarters in Nagpur, Ananth Kumar said it was the endorsement of the selfless service of RSS for the past 80 years.

Mukherjee, during his visit to the RSS headquarters yesterday, had warned that hatred and intolerance diluted national identity and declared that nationalism was not bound by race or religion, as he called for a dialogue to reconcile differences.

His visit to address new RSS recruits sparked criticism from some Congress leaders, including his daughter.

Shaheen school sedition case: Cops question kids again and again

News Network

February 5,2020

Bidar, Feb 5: The police has intensified investigation into the 'sedition case' against the management and staff of a school here, where children are facing chare of insulting Prime Minister Narendra Modi and others, in the context of CAA, in a drama they staged on January 21.

The police again visited Shaheen School on Tuesday and questioned children and staff -- this time in plain clothes, after their questioning of children in uniform on January 28 drew criticism from some quarters, a school official said.

"Morning three police personnel came with two members of Karnataka State Child Rights Protection Commission. Later, the deputy superintendent of police H Basaveshwara joined them.

The cops were in civil dress," the official said.

The police have been questioning the children and staff about those who wrote the script and assigned to deliver specific dialogues.

Police have already arrested Nazbunnisa, the mother of one of the children, who had allegedly delivered the controversial dialogue and their teacher Fareeda Begum, who oversaw the event.

When contacted, the deputy superintendent of police of Bidar H Basaveshwara refused to comment on the matter saying that he was still investigating the case.

Meanwhile in Bengaluru, Congress MLA and former minister U T Khader slammed the BJP government in the state as well as the Centre for "filing sedition charges against people".

Addressing a press conference, he alleged that the Central and state governments were trying to suppress the voice of people in the country using law enforcement agencies.

Khader claimed that the two women who "depicted the problems they were facing" in the drama were booked under the sedition law. During investigation, the children were forced to sit at the police station, he alleged.
