Rave Party: Saldanha demands resignations of Acharya, Raghupathi Bhat

February 10, 2012

Mangalore, February 10: Former Karnataka High Court Judge and activist Justice M F Saldanha demanded resignation of Udupi district in charge minister Dr V S Acharya and MLA K Raghupathi Bhatt for desecrating the Indian culture by organizing a Rave Party in the St Mary's Island.

Addressing media persons at a press meet organized by local chapter of Peoples Union for Civil Liberties here on Friday, he said the two influential politicians were responsible for what happened in the beautiful and peaceful Island from February 3 to 5 in the name of the Spring Zouk.

Though event was jointly organized by Udupi district administration in association with 3W Concepts aiming it as tourism promotion tool, it is learnt that Udupi MLA was a partner of the event. It is to be noted here that a prominent politician alleged that out of the crores of rupees raised from the Rave Party, only Rs 5 lakhs had gone to the district administration and rest to Raghupathi Bhat's kitty. Even though the event turned out to be an ugly affair as video footages showed a foreign couple in compromising position during the party, Uudupi district in charge minister had justified it.

Justice Saldanha went on to claim that the duo should be disqualified from the Assembly if they failed resign owing responsibility for polluting the nations culture through open sex, drugs and prostitution in a historic Island, which was also considered as a place of pilgrimage.

Terming the Rave Party as a 'global disgrace' he exhorted the people of the region not to tolerate such things.

Porngate

Lashing out at the BJP MLAs who caught watching porn clips during Assembly proceedings in the Temple of Democracy, Justice Saldanha lauded the responsible work of the media, which showed the true face of the ministers to the world through secret operation.

Communal Harmony

Justice Saldanha also expressed disgust over the deteriorating communal harmony and increasing incidents of communal attacks in coastal Karnataka, especially in Dakshina Kannada district.

PUCL State President P B D'Sa was present in the press meet.

Need a law to shoot at sight those raising anti-India slogans: B C Patil

News Network

March 2,2020

Bengaluru, Mar 2: Karnataka Minister BC Patil on Monday repeated his earlier statements that he will approach the Centre to bring a law to "shoot at sight" anyone who raises anti-India slogans.

"I am not going back on my statement as I have not said anything wrong. I had said that I will ask the central government to bring a law to shoot at sight those who shout slogans against India. Nowadays it has become a fashion for some youths to get popularity this way which spoils the country and patriotism," Patil told reporters here.

"There is nothing wrong in asking for a law. I have not said that I will myself shoot someone who shouts slogans against India. If the same thing happens in Pakistan, they will be beheaded. But we are not so brutal, we book a case and send them to judicial custody," he added.

Patil also said that there was no need for holding discussions over the amended Citizenship Act, but added that the ruling BJP will defend it if the opposition raises a stir in the state Assembly.

The budget session of the Karnataka Assembly began on Monday.

Thiruvananthapuram, Mar 18: Bindhu Sampath, the mother of Nimisha alias Fathima who travelled from Kerala to Afghanistan to join the Islamic State (IS), has sought the Central government's help to bring her daughter back to India.

"I saw a video of my daughter in which she was requesting her return to India. She has realised that India is her country, not Afghanistan. She is scared that she'll be put in jail over there. Responding to my mail, the Afghanistan government has said that the procedure will take time," said Bindhu Sampath.

"I believe in Indian laws. Let her be questioned and realise what is good or bad. I am waiting for the Central government's confirmation on the matter," added Sampath.

Around four years back, a team of 21 members which consisted of couples and children went to Syria from Kerala to join ISIS and lead an Islamic life. After they left, police registered a case against them, which has been handled by the National Investigation Agency.
