Not in a position to fight BJP alone; will join hands with others in LS polls: Karnataka Cong chief

Newsroom, Aug 28: The Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee president Dinesh Gundu Rao has candidly admitted that his party is not in a position to fight the Bharatiya Janata Party singlehandedly in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls as the latter has too much money.

Responding to a query at a press conference in Dharwad yesterday, the KPCC chief said, “Under the current circumstances, the Congress is not in a position to take on the BJP. We will join hands with like-minded parties in the ensuing Lok Sabha elections to keep the communal agents out of power,” he said.

Mr Rao has said that right wing elements believing in violent methods to settle debate were gaining clout under the governance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

“I do not have evidence to claim that the BJP and the Sangh Parivar are behind the killings of rationalists and activists subscribing to ideologies different from that of the right wing. However, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) report on the killing of rationalist Narendra Dabholkar and activist Gowri Lankesh has proved that systematic planning and execution are taking place by some extremist right wing organisations,” he said.

He further stated that people were being killed in the name of cow vigilantism and other such issues. For every crime, there is a punishment. But some right wing extremists have taken it upon themselves to provide mob justice, which is dangerous to democracy. Congress and All India Congress Committee president Rahul Gandhi are opposing this divisive ideology and are going to the people seeking vote against the hatred politics of the BJP, he said.

He added that co-ordination committee chairman Siddaramaiah is not acting as a Leader of the Opposition and a section of media was misinterpreting his statements. “Mr. Siddaramaiah himself has clarified his statement on becoming Chief Minister. So, there is nothing more for me to add,” he said.

Mr Rao said that the BJP is still continuing with its efforts to break the coalition government. “However, it has not succeeded in luring our MLAs. None of the MLAs will leave the party, as they don’t fear CBI raids nor they will fall to its lures,” he added.

Once again Bengaluru witnesses massive protest against CAA, NRC, NPR

News Network

January 21,2020

Bengaluru, Jan 21: A massive protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), National Register of Citizens (NRC), and National Population Register (NPR) was witnessed at Shivajinagar's Chandni Chowk area on Tuesday.

Scores of people came together carrying national flags and placards to register their protest in the city.

Speaking to ANI, a protester said, "People of all religious community have assembled here in Chandni Chowk to protest against CAA, NRC, and NPR. We the people of India are against this law."

Terming the law as anti-constitutional, he said that we support all the states who oppose the CAA. We demand the revocation of CAA and the government should remove conditions in NPR which lead to NRC.

CAA grants citizenship to Hindu, Sikh, Jain, Parsi, Buddhist and Christian communities fleeing religious persecution from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh and who came to India on or before December 31, 2014.

Meet Muzammil and Tajammul - the two siblings who sold land for Rs 25 lakh to feed poor amid lockdown

News Network

April 26,2020

Bengaluru, Apr 26: Two businessmen brothers, Tajammul Pasha and Muzammil Pasha, in Karnataka's Kolar district have set out to help people in need amid the lockdown over the COVID-19 pandemic by selling their land for Rs 25 lakh.

On seeing daily wage labourers and their families in Kolar suffer during the lockdown, the brothers said they decided to sell their land and use the money to buy essentials and food grain for a large number of poor people.

The brothers also bought oil and cereals with the money. Then they set up a tent next to their house and started a community kitchen to make food for labourers and homeless people.

"Our parents died early. When we shifted to our maternal grandmother's place at Kolar, people from communities, Hindus, Sikhs, Muslims helped us survive without any religious bias," said Tajammul Pasha, visibly emotional.

The Pasha brothers are into banana cultivation and real estate. Tajammul was five and his sibling Muzammil was three when they lost their parents. They had to move from Chickbalapor to Kollar, where their grandmother lived.

"We were brought up in poverty. We survived because of the support of people of all communities and religions. We have signed the society agreement bond and handed it over to our friend who purchased our site and gave the money," the brothers said.

Once the lockdown ends and the land registrar's office opens, the remaining steps to transfer the land will be completed, they said.

So far the two brothers have supplied food grain, oil, sugar and other essentials to over 3,000 families. They have also given hand sanitizers and masks to the poor.

The Kolar administration has issued passes to their volunteers so that they can help in this difficult time.

The number of coronavirus cases in India has increased to 24,506, including 775 deaths, the Home Ministry said today, adding that 1,429 cases and 57 deaths were reported in the last 24 hours.

Amid a countrywide lockdown to check the spread of the highly contagious illness, which began on March 25, the government last night issued an order to allow neighbourhood shops to remain open with conditions; malls across India continue to remain shut.
