Mangalore, June 26: Chikmagalur MLA?C?T?Ravi said that the greatest fear of Mahatma Gandhi that Congress will ruin the country has come true because it is Congress, which sow the seed of corruption in Indian soil, nurtured it and is reaping personal gains from it.

Addressing the gathering during BJP's Jana Sangharsh Abhiyan at Sanghaniketan on Saturday, Ravi said that after Independence, Mahatma Gandhiji had openly told that National Congress must be dissolved after Independence because the purpose for which Congress was formed was over once the country attained independence. He feared that if the National Congress existed further, it would lose its identity as a platform for freedom struggle and get transformed into a political party. He thought people would soon misuse it.

“Time to time Congress leaders misused the name of Congress claiming themselves to be the inherited custodians of our Independence,”?said Ravi adding that Gandhiji had asked the members to form their own parties if they wished. “While the honest lot broke out of Congress and plunged into social reformation after independence, Nehru who disliked the view of Gandhiji clung on to Congress with his followers and the rest is evident,”?said Ravi.

Listing out scams from Jeep scam (1948) to Nagarwala Finance Scam, Maruti Udyog scam, Bofors to Harshad Mehta scam, Gold Star to JMM?scam, Telgi, Common Weath games to Yes Bank and 2G?scam, Ravi said that all of these scams and people involved in these scams are not the BJP members. They are all either Congress leaders or those linked with Congress.

“Moghuls and British looted us in the past. Now Congress is continuing what they did,” said Ravi adding that amidst all the hue and cry over Jan Lokpal Bill, Sonia Gandhi and her son Rahul have not uttered a word so far.

“If the Lokpal bill is introduced, Congress leaders will be behind bars and Congress will lose its face,”?said Ravi adding that Congress knows it very well that if the entire list of people having Swiss accounts is exposed, Congress will be doomed and people will reject the umpteen number of parks, roads, circles and centres named after Nehru, Indira and Rajiv. Ravi further said that if the alleged Rs 16 trillion dollar stocked in Swiss Bank comes to India, the country can be run without taxes for 30 years, poor can be given free ration for 37 years, Rs four crore can be distributed to every village in the country and four-lanes can be laid from every taluk head quarters to national capital.

He called upon the people to start another freedom struggle to wipe out corruption that has been nurtured by Congress over decades.

MP Nalin Kumar Kateel has opined that barring Lal Bahadur Shastry, all other Prime Minister of the country during Congress rule were corrupt.

Kateel said that Congress is continuing the British Raj in India, post independence through its anti-people policies and Sonia Gandhi is continuing dictatorial rule of Indira Gandhi. Assembly Deputy Speaker N?Yogish Bhat and others were present.

New Delhi, Apr 29: WhatsApp on Tuesday said it will now allow up to eight people to connect on a group video call as an increasing number of people turn to digital platforms to connect with friends and family amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Facebook-owned company said over the last month, people on average are spending over 15 billion minutes talking each day on WhatsApp calls, well above a typical day before the pandemic.

"...we see that people all over the world are turning to voice and video calling on WhatsApp more than ever before. Group calling has been particularly useful and our users have asked to connect with more people at once," WhatsApp said in a blogpost.

Starting Tuesday, the company is doubling the number of participants one can have on a WhatsApp video or voice call from 4 to 8 people at a time, it added.

WhatsApp emphasised that like written messages, all calls on its platform are protected with end-to-end encryption.

"We have built group calling in a way that makes it available for as many users as possible, including people on lower-end devices and slow network conditions," it added.

WhatsApp said that to access the new, higher participant limit on WhatsApp calls, all participants in a call need to update to the latest version of WhatsApp available on iPhone or Android.

Video calling tools like Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Zoom and others have also seen a significant jump in userbase and traffic as people connect while maintaining social distancing amid the coronavirus outbreak.

Last week, Facebook had introduced Messenger Rooms that will soon hold up to 50 people with no time limit.

It had added that the company will also add ways to create rooms from Instagram Direct, WhatsApp and Portal.

Noting that between WhatsApp and Messenger, more than 700 million accounts participate in calls every day, Facebook had said, adding that video calling on Messenger and WhatsApp more than doubled in many countries.

Also, views of Facebook Live and Instagram Live videos have also increased significantly in March, it said.

New Delhi, Feb 21: A petition has been filed in the Supreme Court challenging the sedition case registered against a Karnataka school management for allegedly allowing students to stage an anti-CAA, anti-NRC drama that 'portrayed Prime Minister Narendra Modi in poor light'.

The petition seeks quashing of the FIR against the principal and other staff of the Shaheen School at Bidar who have been booked under sections 124-A (sedition) and 153-A (promoting enmity between different groups) of the Indian Penal Code.

In the petition filed on Thursday, social activist Yogita Bhayana has also sought an apex court direction for a proper mechanism to deal with alleged government misuse of the sedition law.

Section 124A of the IPC says that "whoever brings or attempts to bring into hatred or contempt, or excites or attempts to excite disaffection towards... the Government shall be punished with imprisonment for life...".

Bhayana, in the plea, has sought a direction to the Centre and the Karnataka government "to quash the FIR registered in connection of seditious charges against the school management, teacher and a widowed parent of a student for staging a play criticizing CAA, NRC, and NPR."

The petition claimed the police "also questioned students, and videos and screenshots of CCTV footage showing them speaking to the students were shared widely on social media, prompting criticism."

It further quoted the school principal, alleging that "on one occasion, police in uniform questioned students, with no child welfare officials present".

The plea said that the "proceedings were violative of Article 21 (right to life and personal liberty) of the Constitution and abuse of process of law."

"Issue an order directing the Centre to constitute a committee to scrutinise complaints under 124-A IPC and adhere to judgments by the apex court before registering the FIR under the section 124-A IPC," the petition said.

The drama was staged on January 21 by students of fourth, fifth and sixth standard.

The sedition case was filed based on a complaint from social worker Neelesh Rakshyal on January 26.

The complainant has alleged that the school authorities "used" the students to perform a drama where they "abused" Modi in the context of the Citizenship Amendment Act and the National Register of Citizens.
