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.

1sidduThe 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.

Media has shown its real face. I express my deep condolence to Hon'ble CM on death of his beloved son. May God bless our CM with patience. Media is really sold itself as a prostitute. Shame on you guys.

Davanagere, Apr 8: BJP MLA from Honnali constituency, MP Renukacharya, said that the government should not ignore those who attended Tablighi Jamaat event in Delhi and are escaping detection, and it is not wrong if the person is shot.

"Anyone who attended Tablighi meet, is not coming out for medical checkups and is escaping detection. The government should not ignore them. Even if he is shot, it is not wrong. Otherwise, the virus will spread throughout the entire country. In China it started with one person," Renukacharya said on Tuesday.

"We are suffering because someone is not coming for check-up. I request them to come voluntarily to the doctors and District Magistrates. Not all minorities are terrorists and not all of them are anti-nationals," he added.

A petition has been filed in the Supreme Court seeking direction for the government to impose a complete ban on all activities of the Tablighi Jamaat with immediate effect.

Over 1,000 coronavirus cases in India are linked to Tablighi Jamaat gathering. Hundreds of people who are related to Tablighi Jamaat have been quarantined.
