Bengaluru, Jul 30: Even when 39-year-old Rakesh, the elder son of Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah, was lying on his deathbed in Belgium, the latter got no sympathy from the Kannada television channels and the other media in the State.

1siddu The regional news channels began to target the CM the moment he left for Belgium to visit his ailing son, who was in an extremely critical condition since Tuesday.

“Bengaluru is reeling under floods, but our CM is enjoying with his son in Europe,” claimed one insensitive Kannada channel report on Friday. The hyped reports elicited strong response from some people on social media.

“This is height of insensitivity and sadism. India is burning for past two years. But, PM Narendra Modi hardly visited his own country. No channels raised objection to his frequent foreign trips. When Siddaramaiah visited his hospitalised son, these dogs of Sangh Parivar started barking,” posted Gayatri, a Bengaluru resident, on her Facebook wall.

“Hello, media men! If your children die, don't you visit them? Will you keep screaming inside idiot boxes?” tweeted Sapna from Hassan.

On the other hand, a few BJP workers continued to target Mr Siddadaramiah on social media even after his son breathed his last on Saturday.

“Oh, finally Siddu's son is dead. Sad News for Congis and good news for people (sic),” tweeted a self proclaimed Sangh Parivar activist. His tweet received a few likes from his followers. Meanwhile, the screen shots of such abusive comments started going viral on WhatsApp too.

News Network

January 5,2020

Bengaluru, Jan 5: BJP leader and Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa once again blamed the Congress of creating 'confusion' among the Muslim community over the Citizenship (Amendment) Act-2019 while launching a door to door campaign to dispel such rumors.

Yediyurappa was on a door-to-door campaign to make people aware of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act and to allay their fears.

"Unnecessarily, the members of Congress are creating confusion among the Muslim community. I assure you that not a single Muslim will be affected because of CAA," said B. S. Yediyurappa.

"Almost all previous Prime Ministers have supported it, now Congress is creating a problem so as to create confusion among Muslims. That's why we are out on the door-to-door campaign," he said.

The Citizenship Amendment Act, 2019, seeks to grant Indian citizenship to Hindu, Christian, Sikh, Buddhist and Parsi refugees from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh and who entered India on or before December 31, 2014.
