Bengaluru, Nov 2: Hardline Hindutva crusader and Union Minister Anant Kumar Hegde received a rousing welcome at the launch of the BJP Parivartan Yatra in the city on Thursday.

This set off speculation in the inner circles of the party that he may be made the chief minister if the BJP gets a majority after next year's elections. This was prior to the arrival of the party's national president Amit Shah to inaugurate the rally.

However, the speculation was brushed aside by BJP leaders, who said 75-year-old B S Yeddyurappa was still their chief ministerial candidate and there was no change in it.

Hegde, who represents Uttara Kannada parliamentary constituency, is known for hate speeches and controversies.

In February 2016, Anant kumar Hedge had stated in a press conference in his constituency that Islam should be wiped out from the world. Police had registered a suo motu case against him for his provocative remarks.

In January 2017, the local police registered another suo motu case against Anant kumar Hedge for assaulting doctors and other staff of a private hospital in Sirsi town in his constituency. CCTV footage of him assaulting the doctors had gone viral.

Bengaluru,  Mar 26: The nationwide lockdown in the view of coronavirus outbreak has driven some people to the edge. In Karnataka, within less than 24 hours, two cases of people creating trouble for police personnel have come to light.

On Wednesday, a middle-aged man was shot in his leg by the police after he tried to assault two police constables of Sanjaynagar police station. The police constables were identified as Manjunatha and Basavararaju.
The accused reportedly breached the check post at Bhoopasandra. He and his friends were over-speeding and performing stunts on bikes. When the policemen tried to secure them after giving them a chase, they attacked the cops.

When they were taken into custody, one of them again tried to escape and hurled stones and bricks on the cops. In order to prevent further assault, the police then fired two rounds – one in the air and the second one on his left leg.

Dubai, May 5: Saudi Arabian prosecutors have ordered the arrest of a Saudi citizen for insulting an Asian expatriate and abusing him for not embracing Islam.

A video went viral online showing the expat, apparently with little knowledge of the Arabic language, being insulated by an Arabic-speaking man who does not appear in the clip, for having not embraced Islam and for not fasting.

A monitoring centre affiliated with the public prosecution examined the video the content of which “shows the citizen’s use of abusive words against the Asian resident on the pretext of inviting him to Islam,” the prosecution source said.

“The public prosecution closely follows up whatever infringes rights of citizens and residents including harm to their dignity and legal rights regardless of pretexts of such infringement,” the source added.
