Bengaluru, Jan 10: Barely 24 hours after the standoff between BJP workers and students of Jyoti Nivas College (JNC) in Bengaluru over CAA became breaking news, it took political hues with the saffron party and the Congress locking horns over the issue.
Taking the battle to the anti-CAA camp on Thursday, the BJP aggressively defended its party workers, who on Wednesday erected a pro-CAA banner on the college compound wall and allegedly forced students to sign on it as a mark of support.
With one of the workers who had locked horns with JNC students by his side, deputy chief minister CN Ashwath Narayan, at his official residence, questioned students’ right to protest party cadre erecting a pro-CAA banner on their college compound wall.
“How can you tell people not to create awareness about a law that has been passed in this country? Who gave students the right to question political workers? If there was anything wrong, let them report to the police,” retorted the minister, who also holds the higher education department portfolio.
On the other hand, the Congress, cashing in on simmering anger over the assault on JNU students in Delhi, used the JNC standoff to project the ruling party as prime culprits in stifling the voice of students. BTM Layout MLA and seasoned politician R Ramalinga Reddy even warned the BJP against “allowing JNC to become another JNU”.
Reddy met with the JNC administration and extended his support against any “threats” to students. It is being alleged that Reddy was the first to “leak” the video of Wednesday’s row to the media. The college falls in his assembly constituency.
Taking a cue from his colleague’s stand, former CM and opposition leader Siddaramaiah also leaned into the matter and sent a strong message “backing” students in the standoff. “BJP goons are threatening students of Jyotinivas College to support CAA. MrYediyurappa, I am strictly warning you to control hooligans from your party. Don't subvert knowledge & institutions for your selfish motives. We won't let Ktaka to be victim of your Hitler rule!” said Siddaramaiah in a tweet.

Gold belongs to his god and god must help needy what is wrong in it.it is not theft it is granted otherwise he should not stolen it right.
Surely Idols are just stones & ornaments..They cannot help itself. How U intelligent people who fall for such trap of few, forgetting the TRUE GOD and his teachings. People blindly believe, the Idols are a way to God. They are mind-washed by the few who knows how to play with illiterate (illiterate in recognizing the Creator) mind which doesnt recognize their own CREATOR & live a life of UNAWARE. When trouble comes they go to this few & beg to solve their problems.
When we learn about our CREATOR and stop depending on such man made Gods -- The CREATOR will surely help U in recognising himself.
Ask with ALLAH no need any intermediate of human, idols, or any thing.
He is your creator & he knows what is in your heart.. U just need to ask him O ALLAH, the one who's hand is my soul, Guide me... Trust me, U will not need any intermediate and idols and fake predators who might deceive U when u ask other than ALLAH.
Learn who is ALLAH and the reality of IDOLs.
