Pathanamthitta, Mar 29: Lok Sabha candidate of BJP in Kozhikode, Prakash Babu, has been remanded to judicial custody for 14 days in connection with a case during Sabarimala agitation.

The Pathanamthitta first class judicial magistrate court has ordered the judicial remand on Thursday, as Prakash Babu is accused of attacking a middle-aged woman during the Sabarimala agitation.

The agitation was followed by September 28 SC verdict allowing the entry of women of menstruating ages into the temple.

Earlier, an anticipatory plea by the BJP leader was rejected by the High Court. The police had filed seven other cases against him in connection with the Sabarimala agitation.

Meanwhile, BJP State President PS Sreedharan Pillai said in a statement that Sabarimala issue will be used for poll campaign.

Washington, Jan 3: US President Donald Trump ordered the killing of Iran Revolutionary Guards commander Qasem Soleimani, who died in Baghdad "in a decisive defensive action to protect US personnel abroad," the Pentagon said Thursday.

"General Soleimani was actively developing plans to attack American diplomats and service members in Iraq and throughout the region. General Soleimani and his Quds Force were responsible for the deaths of hundreds of American and coalition service members and the wounding of thousands more," the Department of Defense said.

Following Soleimani's death, Trump tweeted an image of the US flag without any further explanation.

"US' act of international terrorism, assassinating General Soleimani—the most effective force fighting Daesh (ISIS), Al Nusrah,Al Qaeda, is extremely dangerous & foolish escalation. US bears responsibility for all consequences of rogue adventurism." said Iran Foreign Minister Javad Zarif.
