Mangaluru, Jul 20: Dakshina Kannada district unit of the Social Democratic Party of India has demanded the resignation of BJP leader and Udupi-Chikkamagaluru MP Shobha Karandlaje for telling lies to union home minister and baselessly accusing the party of supporting the accused in murders reported in the State.’sobha

He said that Karandlaje had erred in including the name of Ashok Poojary, a victim of assault, in the list of 23 persons murdered in the State in the last four years.

This list was submitted along with Ms. Karandlaje’s letter to Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh seeking investigation by National Investigation Agency of the murder of RSS activist Sharath and 22 others.

Mr. Bellare said that among the 23 mentioned in the list, one has committed suicide.

There are a few cases where victims have died following a fight for personal reasons and also because of gang fights. The Udupi MP has falsely accused SDPI of supporting those arrested in those cases.

Mr. Bellare said that Karandlaje should seek an apology in public for giving an erroneous report to the Union Home Minister and falsely accusing SDPI of supporting the accused.

“If she fails to do it, we will seek legal advice and file a defamation case against Ms. Karandlaje,” Mr. Bellare told reporters.

Bengaluru, Feb 19: Karnataka Forest Minister Anand Singh on Wednesday said that there was no criminal case filed directly against him.

When asked about PIL filed in the Karnataka High Court against him, Singh told media: "Some lawyer has filed a PIL against me in the High Court. I cannot stop anyone from filing the PIL."

"I have given my criminal record. There is no criminal case directly filed against me. My name is there in some cases but in 'others category'. We will see what happens," he said.

When asked about Congress leader Siddaramaiah's comments criticising him for being given the forest portfolio, Singh said: "I cannot comment on what he said against me as he is a former chief minister and very senior leader."

"Also the opposition always tries to make allegations against me. That is why he criticised me," he said.

Leader of Opposition in Karnataka Assembly Siddaramaiah on Monday demanded that Forest Minister Anand Singh should either be expelled from the ministry or assigned a different portfolio.

A number of cases are pending against Singh including those registered under the Karnataka Forest Act.
