Youth Cong ‘raids’ I-T office in Mangaluru hours after I-T raid on DKS

Mangaluru, Aug 2: A group of activists from Youth Congress on Wednesday “raided” the office of Income Tax Department in Mangaluru, accusing the department of being a tool to silence the voice against BJP.

The activists vandalized the office premises hours after the unexpected I-T raids on residences, resort and offices of Congress leader and Energy Minister D K Shivakumar who is in charge of protecting Gujarat Congress MLA’s from BJP’s alleged horse-trading bid.

The activists also attempted to set tyres on fire in front of the Central Revenue Buildings, housing the Income Tax office at Attavara in the city. When police prevented them from doing so, they tried to enter the office premises. As the doors were closed, the members broke the glass panes, sources said.

Mangaluru City Corporation Councillor A C Vinayraj, corporator, Mangaluru City Corporation, slammed the BJP for indulging in horse trading to form governments in small States.

Now the party is indulging in a similar practice at Gujarat where Rajya Sabha elections are scheduled, he alleged. When Gujarat Congress MLAs are kept at a safe place in Karnataka, the BJP is misusing I-T Department to its advantage, the Councillor said.

The members were dispersed by the police later. No one has been arrested so far and Income Tax Department officials are yet to file a plaint, the inspector added.

Mumbai, Jan 29: Unfazed by his suspension from flying on Tuesday, stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra on Wednesday claimed that he once again approached television journalist Arnab Goswami, who he said was his co-passenger on a flight from Lucknow, for an "honest discussion" but was turned away.

Kamra tweeted in the morning that "Arnab Goswami was again travelling in his flight while returning from Lucknow". "I again asked him politely if he wants to have a honest discussion he with his verbal arrogant hand jester he asked me to move away & I did that (sic)," he tweeted.

The comedian was suspended from flying by IndiGo and Air India on Tuesday after he allegedly heckled Goswami aboard a Mumbai-Lucknow plane and posted a video clip on his Twitter handle.

While IndiGo suspended Kamra from flying with it for a period of six months, Air India banned him until further notice.

In a statement released on Twitter after he posted the video, Kamra said he did "exactly what Republic TV journalists do to people in their private/public spaces". Kamra stated he had not done anything criminal by allegedly heckling Goswami.
