There is no question of bowing to the Governor's efforts, BJP's conspiracy: Congress
Bengaluru: The Karnataka High Court has dismissed Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s petition challenging the prosecution sanction granted by Governor Thawar Chand Gehlot in connection with the MUDA case. With this decision, the court has upheld the Governor’s order.
Following the ruling, the Congress party strongly criticised the Governor and the BJP. In a post shared on the social media platform X, the Congress declared, "The struggle will continue; there is no question of bowing to the Governor's attempts to destabilize the government and the BJP's conspiracy."
The party also alleged that the Governor had been shielding complaints against JD(S) leader H.D. Kumaraswamy and other BJP leaders. They further claimed that the Governor’s inquiries into how these complaints were leaked demonstrated his political bias.

Waqf Bill anti-secular, will snatch rights of Muslims: Mamata Banerjee
Kolkata (PTI): West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday described the Waqf (Amendment) Bill as “anti-secular”, claiming that it would snatch the rights of Muslims.
Banerjee, speaking in the assembly, also said the Centre did not consult with states over the matter.
“The bill is anti-federal and anti-secular; it is a deliberate attempt to malign a particular section. It will snatch the rights of Muslims... The Centre did not consult with us on the Waqf Bill,” she said.
The chief minister added that “if any religion was attacked”, she would wholeheartedly condemn it.
Opposition parties have stridently criticised the amendments proposed by the bill in the existing Waqf Act, alleging that they violate the religious rights of Muslims.
The ruling BJP has asserted that the amendments will bring transparency in the functioning of the Waqf boards and make them accountable.
A parliamentary committee has been constituted to scrutinise the contentious bill.
