North Karnataka state issue: HDK hits out at media for adding fuel to fire

Bengaluru, Jul 30: Continuing his tirade against media, Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy, has accused the television channels in the state of adding fuel to fire following his response to a BJP leader who suggested dividing the state.

Speaking to reporters in Bengaluru, he said: "The media is instigating people. You (media) are stoking the fire.”

“I have not made any wrong statements on the separate statehood issue. I had merely responded to BJP MLA Sreeramulu's statements. I had asked him where he would bring grants from if a separate state is created. I haven't said anything beyond this. But the media has been repeatedly airing this," he added.

Recently, Sreeramulu had demanded a separate North Karnataka state. In the budget discussion, he said that if the government neglected North Karnataka districts, then the demand for separate statehood would be intensified.

Reacting to Sreeramulu's statement, Kumaraswamy retorted at a public gathering in Channapatna asking him if he had the mettle to run a separate state.

The CM also rued that the people of north Karnataka had not voted him to power. Following this, some organisations and mutt heads called for a bandh in Belagavi on August 2.

Politician considering power as a job. If they have power/came into power, they will use and do temporary solution. If they are not ruling, they dont have any loyalty towards people. They will put everything on ruling govt, sit back, enjoys and most of the time makes the situation worst to get attention towards them, like Yeddy doing now

Bidar, Mar 4: The Principal District and Sessions Court in Bidar, on Tuesday, granted conditional bail to five functionaries of Shaheen School management — Abdul Qadeer, Allauddin Pasha, Mehtab Sait, Bilal Inamdar and Abdul Khaleq — who moved anticipatory bail in a sedition case slapped against their school recently.

Conditions

Senior advocate B.T. Venkatesh from Bengaluru argued for the petitioners. Managoli Premavati Mallikarjuna granted bail on certain conditions, including execution of personal bond of ₹2 lakh each.

The sedition case was filed against the Shaheen School management for its children staging a play as part of their annual day celebrations on January 21, in which a character had allegedly delivered a dialogue against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

While Nazbunnisa, the mother of the child who had allegedly delivered the dialogue in the play, and Fareeda Begum, the headmistress of the school, were arrested, they were subsequently released on bail last month.

Bengaluru, Jun 9: A 42-year-old founding director of an engineering consultancy firm lost Rs 65,000 to online fraudsters who posed as representatives of a mobile service provider and lured him with the offer of a fancy number recently.

Asif (name changed) received a text message on May 19, informing him that a platinum number, 9099999999, was available and interested people could dial a mobile number to avail it.

“Asif, who runs a mechanical, electrical, plumbing (MEP) engineering consultancy near Shivajinagar, decided to get the fancy mobile number. He called the number and the receiver said they would generate an invoice for his request. After a fake invoice for Rs 64,900 was generated, Asif paid the money through online transaction that day. Asif waited for two weeks for the SIM card with the fancy number to reach him,” an officer said.

East CEN Crime police registered a case of cheating under section 420 of IPC and sections under the Information Technology Act after Asif lodged a complaint on June 6.
