BJP targets Karnataka Speaker UT Khader over remarks on Hindutva activist Suhas Shetty's murder

MANGALURU: Legislative Assembly Speaker UT Khader on Saturday came under attack from the Opposition BJP for giving a clean chit to the family of the accused in Hindutva activist and rowdy-sheeter Suhas Shetty's murder. Khader on Friday told mediapersons in Bengaluru that he had spoken to the father and brothers of Mohammed Fazil -- who was murdered by Suhas Shetty in 2022-- and that they told him the family had nothing to do with the murder of the former Bajrang Dal activist. Khader also said that the murder was the result of 'personal grudge' and 'rivalry' between the two groups, which the police echoed on Saturday. However, contrary to Khader's claims regarding Fazil's family, Mangaluru city police commissioner Anupam Agrwal on Saturday stated that Fazil's brother Adil Mehroof is one of the prime accused in the case and had allegedly plotted Shetty's murder along with co-accused Abdul Safwan. What has Khader to tell now after Fazil's brother's involvement in the murder has come to light? How can the police conduct a fair probe if a Speaker gives such a statement even before the arrests are made? Being a Speaker how can he issue such a statement? BJP Dakshina Kannada District President Satish Kumpala asked in a press meet. Referring to some Congress MLAs moving a privilege motion against BJP MLA Harish Poonja recently for linking Khader's religious identity to the suspension of the saffron party legislators from the assembly for six months, he said, With his statements, the 'jihadi' mindset of Khader has been exposed. Stating that the accused had announced the intent to murder Shetty through a status on social media before executing their plan, Kumpala asked why the police did not take any action against them. Government, police and all are involved in this. If they had acted swiftly, Suhas would have been alive today. There is strong suspicion on the Bajpe police and their role should be investigated, he demanded. He also took strong exception to the police releasing the masked photos of Suhas' assailants in comparison to unmasked pictures of Fazil's assailants. Commenting on Home Minister G Parameshwara's announcement of the establishment of an Anti-Communal Force, he said they don't have even an iota of hope on it and reiterated the demand for NIA probe into Shetty's murder. The oppression of Hindu youths will only intensify with the anti-communal force, he alleged Kumpala also criticised the home minister for allegedly holding a meeting with Muslim leaders in Mangaluru on Saturday instead of inviting the elected representatives to discuss the tension in the region. Suhas Shetty was murdered days after a 36-year-old Muslim youth with intellectual disability was beaten to death by a group of 25-30 people, allegedly affiliated with RSS and Bajrang Dal, during a cricket match near the Batra Kallurthi temple in Kudupu, Mangaluru.

Anti-Communal Task Force will be set up in two weeks: Home Minister G Parameshwar

MANGALURU: Home Minister G Parameshwar on Saturday announced establishment of an Anti-Communal Task Force (ACTF) in Mangaluru to check the communal incidents in Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts. Speaking to reporters after a meeting with senior police officials amid rising tensions following the murders of Ashraf and Suhas Shetty , he announced that an Anti-Communal Task Force (ACTF) would be set up within two weeks, modeled after the Anti-Naxal Force. The task force will be headed by an officer of Inspector General (IG) rank or higher, with its structure to be detailed later. The home minister said the ACTF will be given powers to take action against forces fanning communal tensions and their supporters with a stern hand in order to ensure peace and harmony in the region. The ACTF will keep a watch on the communal speeches, statements and social media and take deal with the violators with an iron hand as per law. When reminded that a similar force was announced by him sometime back but it did not make any progress, Parameshwar said it was just a separate wing under Mangaluru city police. Now, the ACTF will be on lines of ANF. Parameshwar said the Congress government in the state was making all efforts to bring back the past glory of the coastal region by shedding its communally sensitive tag, but the two murders have in a way, challenged their efforts. However, he said their efforts will continue and they will thwart all efforts to disturb peace in the region. The communal forces will not be allowed to violate the law and order. We will take stern action against them, he said. Parameshwar said that after the Congress party took out a padayatra in the region, there were no communal incidents for a few years but it has made a comeback now. There are several forces behind it and we will and we will not allow them to thrive, he added. He denied intelligence failure behind the murder of Suhas Shetty. When pressed further, he said the investigation will bring out the truth. Responding to a query, he said the Opposition party should have been wise not to glorify Suhas Shetty, who was an accused in two murder cases, with a procession from Mangaluru to his native place. They say he was associated with them. We dont endorse such things, he said.

Eight held for murder of Hindutva activist Suhas Shetty; police say personal rivalry led to crime

MANGALURU: Eight persons have been arrested for the murder of Hindutva activist and rowdy sheeter Suhas Shetty, who was accused in a 2022 murder case. The accused have been identified as Abdul Safwan, Niyaz, Mohammed Muzamil, Kalander Shah, Adil Mehroof, Nagaraj, Mohammed Rizwan and Ranjit. While Nagaraj and Ranjit are from Kalasa in Chikkamagaluru district, the others are from Shanthigudde near Mangaluru. Debunking widely circulated claims that the murder was carried out to avenge the recent lynching of a 36-year-old Muslim youth, allegedly by RSS and Bajrang Dal workers, Mangaluru City police commissioner Anupam Agrawal said Shetty was killed as revenge for a 2022 murder that took place in Suratkal. The commissioner also said the investigation so far has not pointed fingers at the banned organisation, Popular Front of India (PFI). According to the police, Shetty's murder was plotted by Adil Mehroof, who is the brother of Mohammed Fazil, who was allegedly killed by Suhas Shetty in 2022. Mehroof, along with another accused, Abdul Safwan, hatched the plot to murder Shetty. While Mehroof wanted to avenge the murder of his brother, Safwan's motive stemmed from his fear of being murdered by Shetty, after his friends, Prashant and Dhanraj,had earlier attempted to attack him. Safwan discussed the matter with Muzamil and Niyaz and later got in touch with Mehroof. As their intentions matched, they decided to collaborate, the police said. Mehroof also agreed to pay Rs 5 lakh to those who assist them in the crime and gave Rs 3 lakh in advance to the co-accused. A team was formed to execute the crime which involved Safwan, Muzamil, Shafi Niyaz and his two friends Nagaraj and Ranjit. About a fortnight before the crime, Nagaraj and Ranjit arrived in Mangaluru from Kalasa and stayed at Safwan's house. They hired two vehicles to carry out the murder and after committing the crime, went into hiding at a place between Bajpe and Moodbidre. Police said another two persons who provided information and logistical support to the accused are at large and will be arrested soon According to the police, the group had previously attempted to execute their plan twice, but could not succeed. The police also said they will question two women, who were seen at the crime spot during the murder and are believed to be the relatives of one of the accused.

Karnataka minorities' minister offers to become suicide bomber in a war on Pakistan

BENGALURU: In a strong and emotional statement, Karnataka Housing and Minorities Minister Zameer Ahmed Khan expressed his anger over the recent terror attack in Pahalgam , which killed 26 people, including three from Karnataka. During a press conference held with Ballari Congress MP E Tukaram, Khan said he was ready to prove that Indian Muslims have no connection with Pakistan, which is suspected to have supported the attack. We...we are, I am telling from the beginning often, that we are Indians, we are Hindustani. No relationship between us and Pakistan, no relationship at all, Khan said. He went on to make a shocking offer: To wage a war I am ready and they (central government) can send me as a minister. I will go and put suicide bomb. I am not joking or excited. If there is my need, if Modi, Amit Shah provides me with a suicide bomb, I swear on Allah and god, I will get the bomb strapped and go to wage a war against Pakistan. Let us go... Khans statement quickly went viral, especially as tensions between India and Pakistan continue to rise along the Line of Control (LoC). His comments reflect the deep frustration and anger felt by many in the wake of the attack, and his desire to distance Indian Muslims from any association with terrorism or Pakistan.

IMD forecasts thunderstorms, hailstorms over major parts of India this week

After stormy weather in the past 24-hours in North India, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an Orange alert for Northwest India, including the Delhi-NCR region, as well as East and Central India, for the next four days. The regions are expected to experience heavy rainfall, accompanied by lightning, hailstorms, and strong winds, occur throughout the week. Following it, the IMD has issued an agromet advisory to protect crops and orchards. They also urged residents of vulnerable regions, particularly in urban and hilly areas to take necessary precautions before the hazardous weather. In the past 24-hours, Delhi's Safdarjung station recorded 77 mm of rainfall, marking the second-highest amount of rainfall for May since 1901. The highest was 119.3 mm, recorded on May 20, 2021, at the Safdarjung Airport. This recent rainfall was associated with the remnants of the Tauktae cyclone that crossed the Gujarat coast. After significant downpours along with thunderstorms, minimum temperatures in Delhi-NCR dropped by as much as 8C, and it has been predicted that maximum temperatures in Delhi-NCR will be below normal by 1-3C in the coming days. The IMD reports that multiple weather systems are currently in place, leading to continued rainfall, thunderstorms, and lightning in the region. A combination of a western disturbance and a series of cyclonic circulations over Rajasthan, Punjab, and Haryana has created hazardous weather conditions across large areas of North India. These weather systems are expected to remain active throughout the week. In some areas, there may be dust storms and isolated hailstorms, particularly in parts of Rajasthan. In addition to Northwest India, multiple weather systems are present over Central and Eastern India, resulting in widespread rainfall, thunderstorms, and lightning. The IMD's advisory notes the existence of a cyclonic system over Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, as well as a trough running from Punjab to North Kerala. Furthermore, another cyclonic circulation is located over northern Bangladesh at lower and middle tropospheric levels. All these systems are anticipated to bring rain across the country in the coming days, indicating active pre-monsoon showers and causing unseasonal rainfall. This unseasonal rain is expected to be beneficial for upcoming crops, as it will help replenish soil moisture during a typically dry period, said Mahesh Palawat of Skymet Weather, a private weather agency. In its agromet advisory, IMD advised to drain out excess water from standing crops in Odisha, Kerala and Karnataka whereas it advised use of hail nets and caps to prevent damage in vegetables and orchards in Sikkim, Odisha, Himachal Pradesh, East Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Vidarbha. For livestock, it advised to keep animals inside shed during rainfall and hailstorm and feed and fodders at safe place. Additionally, residents should monitor the weather and be prepared to move to safer areas if conditions worsen.

Congress working like 'Pakistan Working Committee', giving oxygen to terrorists: BJP on Channis Balakot remark

NEW DELHI: The BJP on Saturday said the Congress was repeatedly supplying oxygen to Pakistan, and slammed the opposition party for its leader Charanjit Singh Channi's remarks questioning the veracity of Balakot air strikes that followed the 2019 Pulwama terror attack. Inside it is the Congress Working Committee but outside it acts like Pakistan Working Committee, BJP national spokesperson Sambit Patra alleged in a press conference. Patra said it has become a pattern with the Congress that its resolutions and leadership speak in one voice, while its several other leaders speak in another. The Congress Working Committee, the key organisation body of the party, passed a resolution on Friday asking the Centre to act with firmness and clarity to teach Pakistan a lesson for its continued export of terror to India. Patra told reporters that immediately after the CWC passed the resolution Channi held a parallel press conference in which he questioned the genuineness of India's air strike in Balakot after the 2019 Pulwama terror attack and also taunted Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He told reporters, The Congress spares no occasion to supply oxygen to the Pakistani Army and terrorists and to boost their morale. Referring to the Pulwama attack, Channi said 40 Indian soldiers were killed and when elections were held, the government boasted of action. But we have never seen where in Pakistan the strikes were done and where people were killed. If someone threw a bomb in our country, will people not know? They claim to have conducted surgical strikes against Pakistan but nothing had happened. Surgical strikes were not seen anywhere and no one knew about them, the former Punjab chief minister said. 'Time to teach Pakistan a lesson': CWC on Pahalgam terror attack Asked if he had sought proof of those strikes, he said, I have always been demanding that. He, later, backtracked following the BJP's counterattack and said no proof was needed. Patra, however, hit back saying the oxygen supplied to Pakistan cannot be taken back. The BJP leader said opposition leaders such as Akhilesh Yadav and parties like AAP were cited by a Pakistani senator for their questioning of the Modi government's stand, and added that Congress's Rahul Gandhi is now trying to join them in getting praise in the neighbouring country. Patra referred to other controversial comments of several Congress leaders related to the Pahalgam terror attack to slam the party over a gap in its official pronouncements and its members' public comments. He named Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah, Maharashtra MLA Vijay Wadettiwar, Himachal Pradesh minister Inder Singh, and Rahul Gandhi's brother-in-law Robert Vadra for allegedly raising issues on the terror attack, which left at least 26 civilians, mostly tourists dead. Patra alleged that they have questioned the need for war and asked whether terrorists had indeed religiously profiled their victims, and said this raises questions about the sincerity of the Congress' official stand. It is more than a coincidence and is in fact a pattern, he said. The BJP leader asked if a string of such controversial remarks by Congress leaders has not lowered the morale of armed forces and Indians in general. The Congress, he noted, has asked the government to spell out its strategy following the terror attack. Patra said the moment Congress leaders are informed of the government's plans, they will seek to best each other in conveying the message to Pakistan. In this context, he also took up Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma's repeated attack on Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi over the latter's alleged visit to Pakistan. Patra noted that Sarma has also said that Gogoi's children are not Indian citizens. Congress issues gag order to leaders, warns action against breaching party line on Pahalgam terror attack

Karnataka HC dismisses Bhavani Revannas plea on behalf of son Prajwal

BENGALURU: The Karnataka High Court on Friday dismissed a petition filed by Bhavani Revanna seeking permission for her son, former MP Prajwal Revanna, to engage a counsel of his choice. She also sought certified copies of the order passed by the special court on April 28 on the application filed by her son seeking transfer of the case of rape to a different court. The petition is not entertained. The court is dismissing it and the reasons will follow, said Justice S Vishwajith Shetty after hearing the arguments of the petitioner and prosecution. A senior advocate appearing for Bhavani argued that her son may go unrepresented as his lawyer retired from the case on April 23. They are trying to engage an advocate for Prajwal, but it has not materialised for various reasons including perusal of documents that are voluminous. Another senior counsel for the prosecution argued that the lawyer who is said to have retired continues to represent Prajwal in other cases. The petitioners act is a fraud played on the court and an abuse of the process of the court, which is an appropriate case to initiate contempt against the petitioner. She is a stranger, not an accused in this case. She has no locus standi. In another case, she is accused of interfering and tampering with witnesses even before the complaint was filed. If the petitioner is allowed, it will be like opening floodgates and this method will be adopted in every rape case. Apart from indulging in malicious mudslinging by making allegations against the trial judge, they have been stalling the progress of the case involving the domestic servant, who is a victim, he argued.
