Bengaluru, Aug 22: Slamming saffron forces for their continued protest against Amnesty International over alleged anti-India sloganeering by unknown miscreants, the Congress party has claimed that BJP and ABVP are politicizing the matter and fooling people for selfish gains.dinesh-gundu-rao

Speaking to the media here on Monday Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) working president, Dinesh Gundu Rao called the BJP's so called Tiranga Yatra and ABVP's protest as their new dramas to cover up their failures and blunders. “Stop this drama,” he said.

"Patriotism is no one person's property. We also are patriotic. The ABVP and BJP are politicising the Amnesty International case," he said adding that the police was well equipped to initiate action against the NGO if any seditious activity was proved.

Justifying the statement made by home minister G Parameshwara on Amnesty having done nothing seditious, Rao said the statement was misinterpreted.

"When he told that Amnesty according to him had not indulged in any seditious activity, he meant that there was no proof about such activities conducted by the NGO. If there is any proof of seditious activity let the ABVP or the BJP produce it. Our police are quite capable of investigating into the matter and take necessary action," he said.

He said the ABVP was conducting the protests outside the realm of law by not informing the police of their assembly and trying to create a law and order crisis.

"The ABVP and BJP are trying to cover up their mistakes in levelling allegations against Amnesty by conducting these protests," said Rao.

Attacking the Tiranga yatra of BJP, Rao was critical of the saffron party and questioned its contribution to the freedom of the country. "Till 1925, Savarkar was there in the freedom struggle for name sake. But after that he disappears. Such are the freedom fighters which BJP considers as their idol," said the KPCC working president sarcastically.

Bengaluru, Apr 11: Karnataka Congress chief D K Shivakumar on Saturda said that he was hopeful that the Karnataka Chief Minister would take stern action against BJP MLA M Jayaram--who was on Friday seen celebrating his birthday with several villagers in Gubbi taluk in Tumkur, in violation of social isolation measures and nationwide lockdown to fight the coronavirus outbreak.

"I am sure that the Chief Minister will take action on all these types of activities. We have already petitioned the DGP. Suo moto case should be registered immediately," the Karnataka Congress Chief told media.

Speaking about the video conference meeting that Congress President Sonia Gandhi held with all Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) presidents via video conference, he said: "She has given us directions that the party has to play its own role. She said that the party needs to be very active, apart from the government."

With regards to the farmer's struggles due to the national lockdown, the Karnataka Congress Chief said that the farmers are in a 'very grim situation'. "I appeal to all the people of Karnataka that we should go to the fields and discuss with farmers and buy the materials. Let us purchase their fruits and vegetables and distribute them at the village level."

Bengaluru, Aug 3: All those who met Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa, who has tested positive for Covid-19, in the last three-four days will have to be quarantined, Medical Education Minister Sudhakar K said on Monday.

He also said those who came in contact with Yediyurappa in a couple of programmes in the past week are being traced.

Sudhakar, a medical doctor himself, said Yediyurappa has "very mild cough and his chest is clear."

"I think eight to ten days," he told news agency when asked how long the Chief Minister would have to remain in hospital.

Sudhakar said he is also getting himself tested as a few of his office staff had tested positive.

"All those who met the Chief Minister in the last 3-4 days...ideally they should be quarantined till they receive their results/report. Those who came in contact with him in a couple of programmes will have to isolate themselves and subject themselves for testing," the Minister said.

On the Chief Minister meeting Governor Vajubhai Vala, along with Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai last Friday, Sudhakar said as a result "They also become primary contacts. Ideally, they should also be quarantined and tested."

Yediyurappa who was hospitalised on Sunday night after testing positive for Covid-19 was "doing well" and is "clinically stable", the hospital treating him said.

The 77-year old leader is being monitored by a team of doctors at the Manipal hospital here.

"He is doing well, is clinically stable and will be monitored closely by our team," the hospital said in a statement late last night.

"I have tested positive for coronavirus. Whilst I am fine, I am being hospitalised as a precaution on the recommendation of doctors. I request those who have come in contact with me recently to be observant and exercise self-quarantine," Yediyurappa had said in his tweet.

Yediyurappa was in home quarantine a couple of weeks ago, after some staff members in his home office were found infected with the virus. Subsequently, he tested negative for Covid-19.
