Convene legislature party meet to discuss ACB, Kharge tells Siddu

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.

Mysuru, May 15: The Temple Town of Nanjangud was till now treated as one unit or a Cluster Containment Zone and was put under complete lock-down as per the containment protocol listed under COVID-19 regulations and Disaster Management Act, 2005.

However on Friday, some of the restrictions have been lifted by Mysuru Deputy Commissioner Abhiram G Sankar who permitted certain activities as no fresh positive cases were reported from the cluster area. The Cluster Containment Zone was declared on March 29 following one employee of Nanjangud-based Jubilant Generics tested positive for the killer Coronavirus. As there were chances of the positive person spreading the disease to other employees of the factory, the cluster rules were enforced. Moreover, there were over 1,000 employees in the Pharma Company and a majority of them lived in and around Nanjangud.

The declaration of Cluster Containment Zone with complete lock-down and quarantining of all the Pharma Company employees proved a success to the District Administration as whoever tested positive – over 73 were later tested positive — had already been quarantined and the dangerous community spread phase was successfully prevented. To a major extent, the Corona virus curve has been flattened. As such, restrictions have been relaxed a bit on Friday.
