May 5: Following the rape-murder of Jisha in Kerala, actor Priya Mani has sparked off a controversy on the microblogging site Twitter by urging women in India to leave the country.

Reacting to the Bengaluru abduction and Kerala rape incidents, the 31-year-old actor tweeted, "Appalled and shocked to read about yet another tragic rape and murder! i don't think India is safe anymore for women #JusticeForJisha".

Twitterati started reacting to her tweets, and while some called her "Aamir Khan's sister", some asked her to get out of the country, and some others took a hit at her glamourous scenes in films.

Later, the actor came up with an explanation: "I have only expressed my feelings towards the untoward incidents which have occurred and r still occurring!how is this anti India??READ!!"

Priya Mani also tweeted about being called "anti-Indian" by some.

Jisha was a 28-year-old LLB student who was allegedly subjected to rape and brutal assault before being murdered in Perumbavoor of Ernakulam district.

The crime has been dubbed as 'Kerala's Nirbhaya' for its chilling similarities to the gangrape incident of a paramedic student in Delhi in 2012.

These are not anti India statements, but view it as feeling of expression on helpless situation.. Amir khan also expressed same feelings....Mothers express such words towards their children , if they are frustrated by saying \ I will throw you out of my home' or ' I will throw you to fox' etc ... nobody feel any mother will do such things to her child...."

She is concerned about India...once it was good...now going bad to worst...very bad...sometimes our politicians are also supporting rapists...that is very very bad....law should be enacted to get highest punishment to criminals...should show no mercy at all....

Nobody wants to go out from India...it is a best country...it is our job to protest when there is discrimination happening around...criminal activity going unabated....no criminals should let go freely...

As covid-19 cases began to increase in Dakshina Kannada, the Kasargod district administration had unilaterally newly introduced of daily pass system on July 6 for entry and exit from Talapady border. This had inconvenienced hundreds of employees, who visited Mangaluru daily to eke a living. 

The decision to resume the pass system was taken in a video conference of Kerala Revenue Minister Chandrasekharan with officials and elected representatives on August 3.

The minister said the Kasaragod district administration will resume issuing of passes for daily commuters between Kasaragod and Mangaluru. But they should undergo rapid antigen test for every week to renew their passes.

"Similarly, one-time interstate passes will be issued for those who want to take part in marriages, funeral and other functions in both states. Even they should undergo antigen test after returning from the functions,” the minister added.

As per the previous order, daily commuters, especially employees, had to stay in Mangaluru for 28 days before returning to Kasargod. Later, Kerala government relaxed rules on July 23 allowing only bank employees from Kasaragod to travel daily in their private vehicles to their workplace in Dakshina Kannada.

Bengaluru, Jul 17: Lashing out at Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa-led government over the handling of coronavirus crisis, Karnataka Congress chief DK Shivakumar on Thursday demanded Governor's rule in the state. He also took a dig at Health Minister B Sriramulu's "Only God can save us" remark.

"I heard the statement of Sriramulu and Sudhakar. They have said that they cannot manage this (coronavirus crisis) and they leave it to God who can save Karnataka. If such is the case, they could not solve the problems of the people of Karnataka. It is time now they must resign and let the Governor's rule come into force. The time has come for all of them to step down," Shivakumar said.

Taking to Twitter, Sriramulu said that the KPCC president misinterpreted his statement.

He said that Opposition allegations of negligence and incapability of the government and irresponsibility of ministers are "far from the truth".

The minister said that people should be made aware of the prevention of coronavirus as it plays a very important role in the prevention of infection.

"Here are the cautioning words, 'If you stumble, only God has to save us.' The government, our Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa and ministers are working day and night. We are working for the people, to effectively face this century's challenge," he tweeted.

As many as 4,169 new COVID-19 cases and 104 deaths were reported in Karnataka on Thursday, taking the total number of cases to 51,422 cases including 19,729 recoveries and 1,032 deaths.

Bengaluru reported 2,344 new cases and 70 deaths in the last 24 hours, according to the state health department.
