Congress files complaint against Karnataka BJP candidate for ‘threat to kill Kharge’

[ad_1]
Panaji: The Congress in Goa on Monday filed a complaint against BJP candidate Manikanta Rathod from Karnataka for the alleged plot to assassinate Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and his family.
Goa Pradesh Congress Committee president Amit Patkar along with other office bearers filed the complaint at the Panaji police station.
Patkar speaking to reporters, alleged that a conspiracy to kill Kharge and his family was hatched by the BJP candidate from Chittapur seat Manikanta Rathod, who was heard purportedly saying so in Kannada in an audio clip.

“The BJP leader has clearly said in the audio tape that he will kill Mallikarjun Kharge and his family. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, and Election Commission are mum on this issue. We have filed a complaint and have demanded to register a FIR and probe the case,” Patkar said.
Stating that the government has failed to take action against Rathod, Patkar questioned whether “we are in a democracy”.
“This is an open threat to our leader. There are several cases against Rathod. Such a person has been given a ticket by the BJP and despite his threat to our leader, no action has been taken against him,” Patkar said.
“The murder plot is very clear from the audio recording of BJP candidate from Chittapur, Shri Manikanta Rathod, who also happens to be the ‘Blue Eyed Boy’ of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and Chief Minister of Karnataka Shri Basavaraj Bommai,” the complaint stated.
“There is a designed hatred, towards the tall leader of the country Shri Mallikarjun Kharge, on part of the BJP leadership, and that the BJP is unable to digest the fact, that having been born in a Dalit family to a factory labourer, Shri Mallikarjun Kharge has risen from the post of block Congress president to be the president of the Indian National Congress,” it said.

“The BJP leaders are openly plotting the assassination of Mallikarjun Kharge, his wife and the entire family, and that, the frustration and desperation of the BJP and its leadership has now reached dangerous proportions,” the complaint stated.

“I am really proud to be here among all of you to share joyous moments. A very very devotional beautiful temple will come up very shortly in Hyderabad,” said KCR.
Recalling that the Telangana government has built the Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy temple at Yadadri in a very decent way and was being appreciated by one and all, KCR said that the Anjaneya Swamy Temple at Kondagattu and Vemulawada and Kaleshwaram temples are also under construction.
Stating that the Hare Krishna Heritage Tower should serve society in both devotional and social ways, KCR said, “If you want to have peace, it can be derived from prayers at temples and other religious structures.”
“Religious ignorance among people creates trouble for humans. No religion promotes hatred but religious ignorance takes people into a trance and forces them to perform inhuman activities,” added KCR.
“Right from school children to IT employees, many were relishing hot, hygienic, and nutritious food through Annapurna Centres. Not a single complaint has been lodged to date. After relishing the food, students and even high-income group people were appreciating the state government and Akshaya Patra Foundation,” added KCR.

Unveiling the truth: A ‘Kerala Story’ rooted in facts

[ad_1]
Kerala, the southernmost state of India, is currently in the headlines over the movie ‘The Kerala Story’ which made several controversial claims.
However, as per another ‘Kerala Story’ rooted in facts, the state has always been known for its high literacy rate, progressive outlook, and social indicators. In recent years, Kerala has emerged as a hub of non-resident Keralites (NRKs) who have been contributing significantly to the state’s economy.
Non-resident Keralites contribute 34 pc of all NRI remittances
In 2020, NRK remittances stood at 2.3 lakh crores, which is 34 percent of all NRI remittances.

The per capita income of Kerala is 60 percent higher than the rest of India, and only 0.71 percent of Keralites are below the poverty line, whereas the national average is 22 percent.

Kerala’s literacy rate is 96 percent, which is much higher than the national average of 77 percent. Moreover, the infant mortality rate in Kerala is six, which is far less than BJP-ruled states such as Assam, Madhya Pradesh, and Uttar Pradesh.
Claims by ‘The Kerala Story’ movie
The recently released movie, “The Kerala Story,” claimed that Kerala women are forced to convert to Islam and join ISIS. The original claim made by the movie’s trailer was that 32,000 Kerala women were forced to convert to Islam and join ISIS. However, as the controversy erupted over the claim, the number changed to three. Ever since the release of its trailer, ‘The Kerala Story’ has been in the news due to its alleged communal content.
The film, starring Adah Sharma, created a major controversy when it claimed that 32,000 women had left the state. As a result, a petition was filed before the Kerala High Court seeking a ban on the screening of the film.
Reviews of the movie have been overwhelmingly negative, with critics calling it “distorted,” “melodramatic and manipulative,” “ghastly,” “poorly made rant,” and “steeped in damned lies and comically exaggerated propaganda.”

Facebook cracks down on fake ChatGPT apps scamming users

[ad_1]

He also has an idea for it and he seldom says we should have just done that it would be an easier film. More easier than Brahmastra, because he is going quite crazy, making this film. You never know. Maybe between Brahmastra Part 1 and 2, we get a window of six months.”

Telangana Haj pilgrims denied rubat facility in 2023 amid delay in Saudi building rules

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Haj pilgrims from Telangana will not be able to avail the facility of rubat during Haj 2023 due to the delay in issuing details regarding the stay of pilgrims in rubat in Makkah by the Government of Saudi Arabia. Hussain Muhammad Al Sharif, the authority responsible for managing the rubats, has informed the Haj Committee of India and the Consul General in Jeddah about the issue.
According to sources, the Government of Saudi Arabia has recently formulated new rules regarding the stay in buildings, and it is not immediately possible to get permission to stay in the rubat building until all necessary issues are complied with. The government has not yet issued any description regarding the new rules, making it impossible for pilgrims to stay in rubat during Haj 2023. With the departure of pilgrims scheduled to begin from June 7, obtaining permission to stay in rubat seems unlikely.
In response to the situation, the CEO of the Haj Committee of India, Mohammad Yaqoob Shaikh, has written a letter to the administration of all Indian rubats seeking clarification. The letter was sent not only to the Nizam Rubat in Hyderabad but also to the rubat committees of Tamil Nadu, Madhya Pradesh, Mumbai, Karnataka, and Rajasthan.

Shaikh has also informed the Consul General of Jeddah and the Chief Executive Officer of the Haj Committee of India about the latest situation. He said that if the Central and State Haj Committees cooperate, efforts can be made to ensure the facility of rubat for the pilgrims in Haj 2024. Meanwhile, the Haj Committee of India has started paying the last installment of the pilgrims.
It is a disappointing development for the pilgrims of Telangana who were hoping to stay in rubat during their Haj pilgrimage. The authorities are yet to clarify the situation, and it remains to be seen if any further steps will be taken to resolve the issue.
