Bengaluru, Jul 1: The wife of a senior officer of commercial taxes in Karnataka had to face questions from the sleuths of the National Investigating Agency (NIA) after the love story of a Hindu woman from Gujrat and Muslim man from Kerala culminated in exhibition of communal hatred.

A section of media had called the inter-faith wedding a case of love-jihad, a term used by Indian Christian missionaries and saffron outfits to describe the relationships wherein Hindu and Christian girls marry Muslim boys and follow boy’s faith.

Irshadulla Khan, Deputy Commissioner of Commercial Tax, Kalaburagi, confirmed that a team of officials from NIA recently visited his Bengaluru flat and recorded his wife’s statement before returning with the laptop and mobile phone for analysis.

They recorded the statement to ascertain whether she was in touch with the Gujarati woman, while the latter was studying in Bengaluru in 2014-15.

However, Mr. Khan said that his wife who is an engineer met her once in the city but the victim had not stayed in their house.

“I refute the allegations and I’m ready to cooperate with any kind of investigation,” the government official said.

A police official said that the Gujarati woman and the Kerala man met in 2014-15 when they were studying in Bengaluru. After the woman converted to Islam, the man married her and took her to Jeddah where his parents stayed.

However, later the woman left her husband’s family and returned to Gujarat to her parents’ home. She then lodged a complaint alleging that she was forced to convert to Islam after which she was taken to Jeddah from where they had plans to send her to Syria to fight for Islamic State, a dreaded terror outfits, which normally carries out attacks in Muslim countries tries to destabilize them. The case was handed over to NIA for investigation.

The NIA on January 28, 2018 recorded statements of the woman at their Chennai office, where she gave details of people whom she knew while in Bengaluru in 2014-15. Based on her statements, the sleuths visited Mr. Khan’s house.

But Majority of the coversion happened upon their OWN WILL which is important when U recognize YOUR LORD who created U me and all that exists... TO know YOUR CREATOR ... God has kept his scriptures untouched and its in the ORIGINAL form... "THE QURAN" - Never changed, Never Altered, billions read it, Millions memorized it...   I request my NON MUSLIM brother/Sisters to READ the QURAN before U fall trap to some evil propagandist who deviate U all from knowing the TRUTH of ONE GOD who CREATED all that EXISTS. Read The QURAN - PONDER on what it expects from U and Contemplate on the LIFE which is around YOU.

Bengaluru, Mar 8: The economic slowdown in the country had a cascading effect on Karnataka, as its growth rate for outgoing fiscal 2019-20 is projected to be 6.8 per cent against 7.8 per cent in the last fiscal (2018-19), a senior official said on Saturday.

"The Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) is estimated to be 1 per cent less at 6.8 per cent for this fiscal from 7.8 per cent in the last fiscal due to slowdown in manufacturing (industry) and services sectors," an official of the state finance department told media.

Though the agriculture sector has revived from 1.6 per dent in the drought-hit last fiscal (2018-19) to register 3.9 per cent this fiscal, growth rates of industries and services will be 4.8 per cent and 7.9 per cent for 2019-20 against 5.6 per cent and 9.8 per cent respectively in 2018-19.

"The GSDP is projected to grow at 6.3 per cent in the ensuing fiscal of 2020-21 due to continued slowdown in the national economy," the official hinted.

According to the state's economic survey for 2019-20, the farm sector grew more than double to 3.9 per cent from 1.6 per cent a year ago due to increase in the production of foodgrains, dairy products and fish catch.

Foodgrain production across the state rose to 136 lakh tonnes from 128 lakh tonnes a year ago, the survey revealed.

"In line with the national Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rate decline, Karnataka's GSDP has declined from a high of 13.3 per cent in 2016-17 to a low of 6.8 per cent in 2019-20.

"The GSDP has declined from a double-digit growth of 10.8 per cent in 2017-18 to 7.8 per cent in 2018-19 and 6.8 per cent in 2019-20," the survey pointed out.

The survey has adopted the all-India growth rate for the services sector growth in the state, which reflects the impact of slowdown in the key sector.

At current prices, the southern state's GSDP is expected to be Rs 16,99,115 crore (budget estimates) with a 10 per cent growth rate in the next fiscal (2020-21).

"Real estate, professional services and ownership of dwellings contributed 35.31 per cent to the GSDP in 2019-20, followed by manufacturing with 15.32 per cent, trade and repair services 9.51 per cent and crops 7.44 per cent," said the survey findings.

Per capital income in the state at current prices is estimated to be Rs 2,31,246 in 2019-20, an increase of 8.8 per cent from Rs 2,12,477 in 2018-19.

"The per capita income in the state is 58.4 per cent more than that of all-India rate at Rs 1,35,050 in this fiscal," the survey added.
