Mangaluru, Jun 25: U.T. Khader, Minister for Food, Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs, said here on Sunday that one of the prime accused in the June 21 murder of an activist of the Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) at Benjanapadavu on the outskirts of the city, who is at large, shared the dais with RSS leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat at a press conference here on May 28.

The Minister said the police should conduct a probe into the links between the accused, Bharat, and Mr. Bhat.

Addressing presspersons here on Sunday, Mr. Khader said according to the police, Bharat, of Bantwal, is one among the two prime accused in the murder of the activist and an autorickshaw driver Ashraf Kalai, 35. Bharat is said to be associated with a Hindutva group. Mr. Bhat had conducted a meeting in the city in connection with a May 26 incident at Kalladkka. Photographs showing Bharat sharing the dais with Mr. Bhat have been published in newspapers. The Minister said this has proved the allegation by the Congress that Mr. Bhat is linked to the untoward incidents in Kalladkka and Bantwal taluk.

Mr. Khader added that the BJP had conducted a block-level meeting in Boliyar in Mangaluru taluk in the evening a day before the activist was murdered. The police should also find out if there was any link between the murder and the meeting.

The lack of Muslilm unity is main cause....
The happenings in India is against Islam.
Muslims must join with a chain without any Political or religious parties. Each muslim house have to have heavy loaded Gu s to shoot or destroy the people who enters your house any time without your permission (like it happened in bantwal taluk before few days) and also each muslim must carry for their protection.

Bengaluru, Jan 24: After Honnalli legislator MP Renukacharya, Ballari City MLA Somashekara Reddy and deputy chief minister Govind Karjol, it appeared the turn of revenue minister R Ashoka to show the BJP in poor light with controversial and provocative comments against a minority community. This, despite a gag order issued by state BJP president Nalin Kumar Kateel.

Responding to questions on the Mangaluru International Airport bomb scare incident and how the main accused would have been treated had he been a Muslim, Ashoka on Thursday said "all anti-nationals must be shot dead". Meanwhile, Renukacharya, also a political secretary to chief minister BS Yediyurappa, continued his tirade against Muslims, insisting the government will not extend any "special package" to the community.

Soon after garlanding the statue of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose on the birth anniversary of the freedom fighter, at Vidhana Soudha on Thursday, Ashoka said: "All those who are singing the tune of Pakistan and indulging in anti-national activities, be they Hindu, Christian or Muslim, must be shot dead."

Asked to respond to former chief minister HD Kumaraswamy’s accusation that the entire Mangaluru bomb incident was stage-managed by the BJP government to divert attention, Ashoka said the JD(S) functionary "must measure his words" and not speak "like a film director who can project the police as villainous all the time".

"Kumaraswamy is a former CM. When in power, police were his closest friends, but now that he is not in government, the same police are villains," Ashoka said.

The minister reiterated the government’s stand — first floated by home minister Basavaraj Bommai —

that Aditya Rao, the main accused in the Mangaluru bomb incident, is "mentally unstable" and needs to be medically examined.

Renukacharya, meanwhile, justified comments made on Wednesday that the government will not offer Muslims "a special package".

"When they [Muslims] need development funds, they come to us and seek special packages. Once they get funds, they then vote for Congress or JD(S) in elections," Renukacharya said on Thursday. "We do not need people with such double standards. I will apply pressure on all ministers in the cabinet and even the chief minister to ensure they do not allocate any special package for the community."
