Stop propogating lies as RSS Do . Shimoga violence was ignited by RSS at the end of the rally tale where Women and children were moving along with ...all of a sudden RSS started pelted stones using abusive words which was leaked one of RSS goons video clips....dont play with lies ,,by which you will end up life like Hitler

JAI PFI....and Mr.Shafi Bellare clearly given statement that we have nothing to do with such incident

SayYes to PEACE and INTEGRITY and ISayNo to Lies, Drama to smritiirani and Communal Violence Mastermind is narendramodi

we want safety n security frm daily communal violence,punishment to rioters n rapists

Well modi took us down the wrong path. A path littered with hate, communal violence, intolerance

We need #Azaadi from political pressure groups that instigate communal violence for their own ulterior motives.

I do not support BJP because of their communal politics. I do not support CPM because of their politics of violence:

This is a case of inciting violence and disrupting communal harmony. Pretty sure there are grounds for arrests.

Any Party take the advantage of the poor people for their gain, give respect to the life, Humanity,.

Majority communalism, dangerous in itself, becomes deadly when it becomes the official ideology of the state

RSS is National enemy within. For it Communal violence is not blood of fellow Indians, it is additional votes generated

You find religion in Bharat Mata Ki Jai. But No religion in Allah Hu Akbar during hate speaches and communal violence.

I can't say it often enough: Fascism IS violence. When anti-fascists respond with communal self-defense, it is a heroic action.

Despite of serious communal violence ignited by PFI in shimoga, they r given permission 2 hold rally in Mysuru today Ban PFI,a terrorist outfit

Peaceful Mysuru city is witnessing violence.

I am a strong advocate of non-violence. And it is sad that an RSS man was killed in Mysuru!

Politics even in death, these politicians play!

see goons !!!!

Home Minister and Police dept must take strict action against trouble maker first including the person and groups behind murder. And on groups like BD and their god father, no excuse straight away send them behind bar at least for 6 months.

With in SIX months, all we can experience permanent peace of life all over KARNATAKA.

Siddaramaiah hits out at govt over petroleum prices, urges Modi to roll back excise duty

News Network

June 19,2020

Bengaluru, Jun 18: Former Karnataka Chief Minister and Congress leader Siddaramaiah has accused the BJP-led government of not passing the benefit of the low price of crude to the common man and urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take steps to bring down prices of petroleum products.

Hitting out at the BJP-led government, he termed it as "opportunistic" and said the price of petroleum products were being increased when people were facing difficulties due to COVID-19.

"It is very disheartening to witness and unprecedented opportunistic government which is trying to extract every pound and flesh from the common man, that too when the whole country is suffering from the COVID-19 pandemic. This is in the backdrop of the continuous price hike in the last 10 days," said the letter was written on Wednesday.

The Congress leader said that the policy decisions taken by the government "with respect to managing fuel sources are inconsistent with the prudent measures generally adopted".

"When the price of crude oil was remarkably low in March, April and May 2020, your government was very reluctant to pass on the benefits to the people by reducing the fuel prices proportionately, but, instead, your government continued to capitalise by increasing the excise duty," he said.

He said the government had also "failed" in the last six years to increase the oil storage capacity which could have been used for the country's advantage when the international crude oil price fell really low.

He said the government should roll back the excise duty and help in the reduction of fuel prices.

"The reduced burden will help the common man to have additional money in hand that will be spent on essential goods and services which will ultimately help them tide over these difficult times," he said.
