Convene legislature party meet to discuss ACB, Kharge tells Siddu

March 31, 2016

New Delhi, Mar 31: A day after former chief minister S M Krishna's meeting with Congress president Sonia Gandhi and vice-president Rahul Gandhi, senior Congress leader Mallikarjuna Kharge on Wednesday said Chief Minister Siddaramaiah should convene the Congress Legislature Party meeting immediately and take the party's view on the decision to set up the Anti-Corruption Bureau.

KHARGEKharge's statement gains significance as Krishna, at the meeting, cautioned about the decision to set up the ACB.

The chief minister should clarify the doubts about the ACB in the party forum and put an end to the controversy, Kharge told Deccan Herald.

“Congress always favoured a strong Lokpal to fight corruption. This is my stand also,” he said.

The State government has formed the ACB, which exists in 15 states. However, before taking such a decision, the chief minister should have discussed the pros and cons in the party forum, he said.

Dismissing charges that he had supported the move to “weaken” the Lokayukta, Kharge said he had never indulged in such activities.

Neither did he support the ACB nor had he given any suggestions on it, Kharge, Congress party leader in the Lok Sabha, said.

Dismissing media speculations that he had supported the ACB after his recent meeting with the chief minister, Kharge said that he was not at all a party to this controversy.

Earlier, senior Congress leader Janardhana Poojary had suggested the chief minister to reconsider the decision to set up the ACB.

Bellari, Feb 23: Fringe outfit Sri Ram Sena leader Sanjeev Maradi said on Friday said that organization will reward Rs 10 lakh to the person who will 'eliminate' those who have raised "pro-Pakistan" slogans including Amulya who recently raised "Pakistan Zindabad" slogan at an anti-CAA protest in Bengaluru.

"We request both state and central government not to release them (Pro-Pakistan sloganeers) on bail. If they will be released Sri Ram Sena will eliminate them or will give a reward of Rupees 10 lakh to those who kill them," said Sanjeev Maradi.

"We condemn such slogans. This is like a virus. First, it happened in Jammu and Kashmir, then in JNU, then Mysore and then a student named Amulya raised pro Pakistan slogan in Bengaluru," he added.

A girl named Amulya raised 'Pakistan Zindabad' slogan on Thursday at an anti-CAA protest where AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi was also invited.

Thereafter, a case was registered under Section 124A (Offence of sedition) of the Indian Penal Code against the student.

Meanwhile, Imran Pasha, the organizer of the anti-CAA protest said that Amulya was not invited to the event.

"We were the organizers of the event. At around 6:45 pm on Thursday, when I and Member of Parliament Asaduddin Owaisi were entering the stage area, we did not notice Amulya was present there. I did not invite her," Pasha told media.

Bengaluru, Jun 20: Continuing with the easing of restrictions under 'Unlock 1.0', the Karnataka government on Saturday authorised local bodies to fix timing for opening of public parks other than those in the containment zones between 5 am to 9 pm.

It has also mandated adhering to all the national directives issued to contain the spread of COVID-19 and the guidelines issued by the state government in this connection.

Noting that the government has been relaxing conditions under unlock 1.0, Principal Secretary Revenue N Manjunath Prasad, who is also the member secretary of the state disaster management authority in an order said, local bodies have been asked to set the timing between 5 am to 9 pm to open all parks that come under them and the government.

It said this would be applicable to only those parks that come outside the containment zones. Earlier in May, while relaxing the lockdown norms, the government had set 7 am to 9 am and from 5 pm to 7 pm for the opening of parks.
