Bengaluru, Jul 8: The Indian National Congress is likely to get opportunity to contest at least two-third of total Lok Sabha seats in Karnataka following a seat-sharing agreement with Janata Dal (Secular) in upcoming general elections.

There are 28 Lok Sabha constituencies in Karnataka, and the Congress contested in all in 2014 and won nine seats, while the BJP won 17 and the JD(S) two. In the 2009 general elections, the BJP secured 19 seats, Congress six, and JD(S) three.

According to sources, the formula adopted for allocation of Cabinet berths in the coalition government in the state is expected to be used in chalking out a seat-sharing deal between the two parties. During the allocation of Cabinet berths, the Congress was given two-thirds (22) of the 34 berths.

Senior Congress leader and former Union Minister M Veerappa Moily, said that the two parties are expected to enter into an alliance for the 2019 elections and the Congress would contest in 18-20 constituencies, leaving 8-10 seats for the JD(S).

Moily did not name the constituencies where the JD(S) would field its candidates. He said an agreement on contesting the general elections jointly has been reached between the two parties. “We will continue the same formula adopted for sharing Cabinet berths,” he said. In the next few months, the party’s central leadership would take a final call on the exact number of seats to be shared, he added.

Hassan, July 31: A police sub-inspector (PSI) reportedly hanged himself at his official quarters in Channarayapatna town today morning.

The deceased has been identified as Kiran Kumar, 34, who was in charge of Channarayapatna rural police station.

Sources said that he was upset after two murder cases were reported in the last 24 hours in his limits. Kiran reportedly told colleagues an hour before the extreme step that he feared he would be suspended.  

According to locals, the SI was upset after news of the two murders due to alleged negligence of the police spread on social media. He killed himself before a visit by senior officials. IGP, southern range, and SP Srinivasagowda was planning to visit the town and the spots where the murders took place on Friday.

Kiran, a native of Lalanakere village in Arsikere taluk, was known for his rapport with local people. He was alone when the incident took place. His wife and children had gone to Lalanakere for the Varamahalakashmi festival on Thursday night. The body was shifted to the mortuary for a postmortem.

New Delhi, Jan 28: The Supreme Court of India today granted bail to 17 convicts sentenced to life imprisonment in 2002 Gujarat massacre case, pending their appeal before the Supreme Court.

The convicts also have to participate in social and spiritual services, said the court, announcing the riders for bail.

The Bench of Chief Justice of India SA Bobde and Justices BR Gavai and Surya Kant directed for the convicts to be segregated into two groups to be sent to Indore and Jabalpur.

District legal authorities in Indore and Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh have been asked to ensure that the convicts do the spiritual and social work the court has asked for.

The Supreme Court has also asked the administration to find them work for livelihood. The state legal services authority has been asked to file a compliance report as also report on their conduct.

The case concerns the mass killing of 33 innocent Muslims - mostly women and children - who were burnt alive at Sardarpura village in March 2002.

This was part of the mass massacre that swept through Gujarat in the aftermath of the death of train passengers on Sabarmati Express in Godhra on Feb 27, 2002. Thousands of innocent Muslims were killed and raped in the three-day violence. The victims include hundreds of children including newborns.

In 2016, the Gujarat High Court had upheld the conviction of 17 accused in the Sardarpura massacre case.

Earlier, a Special SIT court had convicted a total of 31 persons in the case, after three years of trial against 73 persons from Sardarpura and nearby villages.

For the sake of God please do not call them JUSTICE. If they str aware of meaning of word justice then they would have given death penalty to all the culprits. So sad that supreme court of india is running as per the instructions of MODI govt. RIP Justice
