Mangauru, May 9: The Congress leaders and supporters in poll-bound Karnataka are facing the wrath of Income Tax department. Last night two business establishments having close association with a prominent Congress leader in Dakshina Kannada district were raided by the I-T sleuths.

The raid comes two days after I-T sleuths raided the Krishna Heritage, a resorted owned by the Hosapete Congress MLA Anand Singh in Badami taluk of Bagalakote district.

Mogarody Constructions, owned by Sudhakar Shetty and located at Kavoor Junction in Mangaluru taluk, and Birwa Centre, a hotel owned by Sanjeev Poojary and  located at Melkar in Bantwal taluk are the two new targets of the I-T department. 

Both Sudhakar Shetty and Sanjeev Poojary reportedly have close links with B Ramanath Rai, who is who is contesting from Congress for eighth time in Bantwal constituency. According to sources, a few Congress leaders had recently held meetings these two places.

The Congress has been accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi led union government of misusing the I-T department to target the ruling party of Karnataka, ahead of the assembly polls.

Moon sighting for the start of the month of Ramazan, for end of fastings- Eidul Fitr, for the month of Hajj and Muharram:

The moon sighting is so easy. We the people of India and have Indian Standard Time all.over India. 

When we can accept the moon sighting in Delhi and announcement from Delhi as it was during times of Radio and Doordarshan news, why can we not accept the sighting of moon in coastal region of Karnataka and in Kerala?

Let us bring about change for good.

Why is rest of Karnataka or India not joining for Eid with coastal region and kerala? At the time of Radio and Dorrdarshan only days, all of India used to wait for 8.00 pm news for updates of moon sighting. So why not accept the moon signing witnesses in Kerala or coastal region?

 

I request all Indians to accept the witnessing of Moon sighting in any area of India and start and end Fasting.
