Shobha booked for ‘rape, murder, jihad’ tweet; but she has no regrets for lying

The police have registered a case against BJP leader and Udupi-Chikkamagaluru MP Shobha Karandlaje for allegedly trying to create communal tension in Uttara Kannada district through provocative tweets and lies.

On December 14, she tweeted: “Jihadis tried to rape and murder a girl studying in 9th std near honnavar. Why is the govt silent about this incident? Arrest those who molested and injured this girl.  Where are you CM @siddaramaiah?” (sic). The MP has not deleted her ill-intentioned tweet even after it was proved that her allegations were false. 

The Honnavar police have registered a suo motu case booking the MP under section 153 (wantonly giving provocation with intent to cause riot), 153A (wantonly giving provocation with intent to cause riot) and 505(2) (statements creating or promoting enmity, hatred or ill-will between classes) of the Indian Penal Code on Thursday night.

In fact, a Class 9 girl in Honnavar had inflicted injuries to her hands after she was harassed by a miscreant called Ganesha Eshwara Naik, who is said to be a supporter of saffron groups. However, a local shop keeper, who provided bandage to the girl, had floated a rumour that she was stabbed by Muslims. Ms Karandlaje immediately took to the social media and added a few more lies to the story. The girl later clarified that no one had stabbed her.

Even after an FIR was registered against her, Ms Karandlaje continued her war on twitter. On December 22 she tweeted: “Govt which has failed in providing safety to women in Karnataka now tries to stifle my voice through a FIR. @siddaramaiah Govt protecting Jihadis."

“Will continue my fight against Jihadi elements. There is no way I'll succumb to the pressure of @siddaramaiah Govt.#HinduLivesMatter,” she tweeted again. 

She also has refused to admit that she had tweeted without trying to know the truth. She continued to claim that the girl was indeed attacked by so called “jihadis” and that was what the girl had told the doctors immediately after the incident. “The police have threatened the girl and made her retract her statements and the State government is burying the case,” she claimed.

Shobha is a Master degree holder from Nagpur university in telling lie.   She is not ashamed or telling lie.   Its is her duty and religion to lie.  More she lies more money comes in her account.  She is already having crores of rupees in her accounts.  She is nominated to misguide people and create trouble in karnataka in view of next election.   In the case of College girl who hurted herself, this hate monger Shoba gave press statement that few Jihadis molested her and tried for gang rape, and fortunately this girl was saved by some patriot sangh parivar volunteers.    She has crossed all the levels in the field of telling lie.   this is her main job.  She is not bothered about poors and needy people of her constituency.  She is favorite of UP CM.   Police should take note of her hate speeches + statements and book her under goonda act for spreading wrong rumours in the public resulting in riots + killings.

Dubai, May 6: The Indian nationals cleared by the UAE health authorities and found to be asymptomatic will only be allowed to fly back home in one of India's biggest ever repatriation exercises, the Indian Embassy in Abu Dhabi has said ahead of the first set of flights on Thursday.

On Monday, the Indian government announced plans to begin a phased repatriation of its citizens stranded abroad from May 7. Air India will operate 64 flights from May 7 to May 13 to bring back around 15,000 Indian nationals stranded abroad amid the COVID-19-induced lockdown, India's Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said on Tuesday.

The first two special flights that will operate from Thursday to evacuate Indians stranded in the UAE due to the coronavirus pandemic will begin with applicants from Kerala, who formed the majority of the expatriates who have registered to be repatriated from here, Indian Ambassador to the UAE Pavan Kapoor has said.

"All departing passengers will have to undergo medical screening and IGM/IGG test at the departure airport and only those cleared by the UAE health authorities and found to be asymptomatic will be allowed to board the plane,” the Indian Embassy in Abu Dhabi said on Tuesday.

According to the embassy, all passengers will be required to sign an undertaking to undergo compulsory quarantine at the destination of arrival and bear the cost of the same.

“Each passenger, at the time of boarding would be handed over a safety kit containing 2 three-layered face masks, 2 pairs of gloves and pouches/small bottles of hand sanitizers. While on board the flight, the health protocol of the Ministry of Civil Aviation of India will be strictly followed,” said the embassy.

The passenger lists for the two flights on May 7 have been finalised by the Embassy / Consulate and sent to Air India Express for issue of tickets.

The Embassy / Consulate will continue conveying the details of further special flights as and when they are announced by the Government of India, over the next few days.

Less than 2,000 Indians wishing to return home from the UAE will be flown to six Indian states in the first week of India’s biggest ever repatriation exercise named Vande Bharat Mission—sans social distancing and COVID-19 tests, the Gulf News reported.

Only those cleared by the UAE health authorities and found to be asymptomatic will be allowed to board the plane.

The short-listed applicants, who were contacted by the Indian missions on Tuesday to purchase tickets for the first two flights to Kerala on Thursday, told the Gulf News that the tickets are priced around Dh 725 to Dh 750 (over Rs 15,000).

Sharjah resident Rasheed Thayyil said his 70-year-old mother Nepheeza Thottungal, who came on a visit to the UAE in February, received an email from the Indian Consulate in Dubai which quoted an airfare of around Dh725 (approx Rs 15,000), the report said.

Another applicant from Abu Dhabi Ambily Babu said she purchased a ticket at Dh 750 from Air India Express for her Abu Dhabi-Kochi flight scheduled to fly on Thursday evening, it said.

Air India Express which is set to operate the first two flights to Kerala on Thursday will operate its Boeing 737-800 aircraft, with a seating capacity of 186 economy class seats, the report added.

With nine seats reserved for isolation, only 177 passengers would be flown, it said.

The Indian expatriate community of approximately 3.42 million is reportedly the largest ethnic community in the UAE constituting roughly about 30 per cent of the country's population, according to information available on the Indian Embassy website.
