It is welcome move by Muslims all over India to condemn illogical and baseless remarks made by this pro sanghi journalist.   There should be strict rules in India that none should defame or talk baseless agaisnt any religion + God + Messenger.    such hate mongers should be jaled for not less than 5 years and should be levied penalty of not less than Rs. 10 lacs.    With this strict rule we cannot stop such hate mongers from vomitting hate.    Organisaton behind such hate mongers should also be banned.

Bengaluru, Jan 12: Janata Dal (Secular) chief and former prime minister H D Deve Gowda on Sunday refuted reports of him contesting in the Rajya Sabha elections and added that he is more concerned about strengthening his party in Karnataka.

"I am not interested in going to Rajya Sabha. My concern is to build and strengthen the party in the region to the best of my ability. I had declared earlier that I will not contest elections anymore," Deve Gowda told ANI here.

"My party MP D Kupendra Reddy is there in the Rajya Sabha as of now and further decisions will be taken by the party. In March 2019, towards the end of the 16th Lok Sabha I had declared that I will not contest any more elections," Deve Gowda added.

Four Rajya Sabha seats in Karnataka are about to fall vacant in June this year as two of Congress, one of BJP and JD(S) MPs retire.
