Bengaluru, Apr 30: BJP president Amit Shah and JD(S) state president H D Kumaraswamy recently held a meeting on board a flight, according to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.

Siddaramaiah, while addressing a Congress rally in Belagavi on Sunday, charged that Shah and Kumaraswamy travelled together in a flight recently. The meeting of the two leaders showed that the BJP and the JD(S) had entered into a tacit understanding, the chief minister said.

Kumaraswamy denied the charge and retaliated against the chief minister, saying that the latter should speak in a manner befitting the post he holds. His statement is baseless, Kumaraswamy said. “Why should I meet Shah? I have not reached such a bad situation. Let him produce documentary evidence if he has any,” the former chief minister said, addressing reporters while campaigning at Bevur in Channapatna, Ramanagar district.

“Let him speak the truth or we may have to conclude that Siddaramaiah made the statement when he was drunk,” he added.

The party, in a press release, said, “A fake air ticket is being circulated in media circles to prove that Shah travelled with Kumaraswamy. So, we have released a similar fake air ticket showing Siddaramaiah and Zameer Ahmed Khan travelled from Karachi to Bengaluru.”

Later, speaking to media persons, Siddaramaiah reiterated his claim that Shah and Kumaraswamy travelled in the same plane to Delhi and said he would release the relevant documents at an appropriate time.

“If at all documents are needed, photographs will be availed and released, but at an appropriate time,” Siddaramaiah said.

In Bengaluru, BJP MP Shobha Karandlaje demanded that Siddaramaiah should tender an apology if he failed to prove his charge. “Siddaramaiah should release documents to prove his charges. The state intelligence department comes under the chief minister. So, he can easily produce the documents,” she told reporters.

Chikkamgaluru, Feb 21: Wazi Noronha, aka, Vojald, the father of Amulya Leona Noronha, who lives in Koppa taluk of Chickmagalur district has said that he was shocked by his daughter’s pro-Pakistan slogans.

“Let her rot in jail. I don’t mind if police break her bones, I don’t support what she said and I will not approach lawyers for her bail. She has committed a grave mistake,” he said.

Amulya, a 19-year-old student activist, was booked for sedition yesterday after she raised ‘Long Live Pakistan’ slogans at a CAA-NRC rally. A visibly embarrassed Asaduddin Owaisi, AIMIM chief and MP tried to snatch the mic away from her and slammed her. Karnataka Police have registered a case under IPC Section 124A (Offence of sedition) against Amulya.

Mr. Wazi, who owns a two-acre areca plantation and runs a poultry farm, said he would not make any attempts to get her bail. “Let the law take its course. I cannot approve of her statement,” he said.

He said he had cautioned his daughter against getting involved in protests. “I told her to complete studies first and later she could fight for poor people. But what she said yesterday is not acceptable. I don’t know what made her so. I hope a probe would bring out who prompted her to make such statements,” he said.

Mr. Wazi also admitted that he was associated with BJP and had worked for saffronite leaders like Shobha Karandlaje and D N Jeevaraj.
