Mangaluru, Aug 30: The internal bickering in Congress has come to fore once again in Dakshina Kannada with former Mangaluru City North MLA Vijay Kumar Shetty lashing out at minister for forest, environment and ecology B Ramanath Rai.

Shetty, who knew Rai since his college days, claimed in an interview that the latter was in Bharatiya Janata Party and Janata Dal before joining Congress party.

“Initially Rai was in BJP. During Indira Gandhi’s election, he was in Janata Dal. Later he came to Congress,” said Shetty.

Reacting to the media reports on chief minister Siddaramaiah’s decision to elevate Rai to the post of home minister of Karnataka, Shetty said that the district in-charge minster of Dakshina Kannada faced rowdyism case.

"A rowdy case was registered against Rai in Vittla police station. I too have seen the case record. Since his college days, Rai had faced charges of rowdysim. Giving home minister’s post to such a person will be an unfortunate move,” he said.

Davanagere, Apr 8: BJP MLA from Honnali constituency, MP Renukacharya, said that the government should not ignore those who attended Tablighi Jamaat event in Delhi and are escaping detection, and it is not wrong if the person is shot.

"Anyone who attended Tablighi meet, is not coming out for medical checkups and is escaping detection. The government should not ignore them. Even if he is shot, it is not wrong. Otherwise, the virus will spread throughout the entire country. In China it started with one person," Renukacharya said on Tuesday.

"We are suffering because someone is not coming for check-up. I request them to come voluntarily to the doctors and District Magistrates. Not all minorities are terrorists and not all of them are anti-nationals," he added.

A petition has been filed in the Supreme Court seeking direction for the government to impose a complete ban on all activities of the Tablighi Jamaat with immediate effect.

Over 1,000 coronavirus cases in India are linked to Tablighi Jamaat gathering. Hundreds of people who are related to Tablighi Jamaat have been quarantined.
