Mangaluru, Nov 21: In another relief to RSS veteran Kalladka Prabhakara Bhat and Dakshina Kannada MP Nalin Kumar Kateel, the High Court on Tuesday quashed the case registered against them by Bantwal police for protesting in violation of prohibitory orders and creating unrest following the murder of RSS worker Sharath Madiwala.

Justice Ashok G Nijagannavar quashed the proceedings against them while allowing the petition filed by Kateel and others on the ground that there were lapses in filing of the complaint as the same was not filed by competent authorities.

The petitioners have contended that the FIR was registered by the police owing to political pressure and there was a delay of seven months in issuing notices by Bantwal town police asking them to appear before them for investigation.

The notices were served when assembly elections were nearing, they claimed. The police had issued notices to them on February 15, 2018.

According to the petition, the police had registered a suo motu case on July 7, 2017 under Sections 142, 143 (unlawful assembly), 188 (disobedience to order) and 149 (offence of common object) of IPC, for violating prohibitory orders clamped by the Deputy Commissioner, by holding a procession over the murder of RSS worker Sharath Madiwala.

Apart from Bhat and Kateel, the case was registered against  MLAs Rajesh Naik, V Sunil Kumar, MLC Kota Srinivas Poojary, former MLC Ganesh Karnik, former MLA Padmanabha Kottary and others.

Tumakuru, Jan 2: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday slammed the Congress and its allies opposing the Citizenship Amendment Act, saying they are against giving relief to those who have been brutalised and victimised in Pakistan.

"Pakistan was founded on religious grounds due to which atrocities on minorities such as Hindus, Sikhs, Jains and Christians have increased. But Congress and its allies don't speak against Pakistan," he said at a function here.

He also said the Congress and its allies take out rallies and stage demonstrations against the efforts to prevent atrocities on religious lines and save women from sexual assaults.

Modi wondered why those opposed to the CAA were not speaking out against Pakistan's atrocities and asked what stopped them from doing so.

Strongly defending the CAA, he said it was adopted by Parliament in a historic move, but that the Congress and its allies and the ecosystem created by his party's rival were now against the very institution.

He said India cannot leave the Hindus, Christians and Sikhs apparently fleeing Pakistan to "their fate" and added it was the country's responsibility to protect them.

Modi pointed out that the efforts are especially to protect the Dalits and tribals in Pakistan.

The Prime Minister also pointed out that the abrogation of Article 370 was a step towards ending terrorism and uncertainty in Jammu and Kashmir.
