Stop arresting our workers in Perduru incident: Karandlaje
BJP workers stage protest against arresting Sangh Parivar workers
Udupi, June 6: Lok Sabha Member Shobha Karandlaje urged the authorities not to arrest the Sangh Parivar workers in the Perduru incident till they receive the FSL report on the suspicious death of cattle trader Hussainabba, as the workers have done their work legally.
Alleging that the state government has been torturing the workers of Hindu organizations and BJP by arresting them in Hussainabba death case, the BJP workers staged a protest in front of the deputy commissioner’s office here on Wednesday.
Police should use their lathis and pistols to arrest cattle thieves. This problem could be solved by implementing the Anti Cow Slaughter Act effectively. Higher officers in the police department have been putting pressure on the local officers of the department, she said.
Those who have been transporting the cattle have themselves damaged the Scorpio vehicle. Workers of Hindu organizations have not done anything. It was decided at a meeting of the organization that the workers should not take law into their hands and as soon as they notice illegal cattle transportation, they were asked to inform the police, she added.
“As Hussainabba died in the police custody, it should be handed over to CID investigation. But we would not believe that we would get justice from the CID. Even then, we will wait for the FSL report. If the report suggested that Hussainabba died due to heart attack, then this issue would not have any significance. Nobody would become accused. We would decide on the nature of investigation only after getting the FSL report”, she said.
‘Didn’t cattle have value for the lives?’
MLA K Raghupathi Bhat said that while transportation, two cows were killed. Everybody talks about the death of Hussainabba and nobody talks about the death of the cows. Didn’t they have value for their life, he asked.
If the investigation into this case is handed over to the CID, some more innocent workers would be arrested. As there is political interference in the CID, it should be handed over to the CBI probe, he demanded.
BJP district president Mattar Rathnakar Hegde, MLA Haladi Srinivas Shetty, MLC Kota Srinivas Poojary, leaders Lalji Mendon, Sunilk KR,Vilas Nayak and others spoke on the occasion.
Leaders Uday Kumar Shetty, Thingale Vikramarjuna Hegde, Nayana Ganesh, Sheel K Shetty, Shamala Kundar, Geetanjali Suvarna, Shilpa Suvarna, Suresh Shetty Gurme, Prabhakar Poojary, Suresh Nayak Kuyiladi, Kutyaru Naveen Shetty and others were present.

"Will expose BJP on Waqf issue," says Karntaka Deputy CM DK Shivakumar
Bengaluru, Nov 16: Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar on Saturday said his party would expose the BJP on the Waqf issue as changes in revenue records favouring the Waqf Board were effected only during the Saffron party's regime.
While the BJP is all set to mount pressure on the Congress government by holding a mega protest and a month long march on the Waqf issue, Shivakumar claimed that during its tenure, the BJP regime started changing the revenue records of rights, tenancy and crops in favour of the Waqf Board and many properties also were transferred in the name of that board.
The BJP's opposition on the matter was "foolishness" as the government had all the related documents to pin them down, the Deputy CM told reporters. “We will expose them," he asserted and added that they came to know such aspects only later. Also, the issue did not get into public domain as everyone was busy with the recent elections.

From November 25 to December 25, the BJP will be on protest mode against 'Waqf notices' to farmers, individuals and institutions.
After the Waqf controversy started raging in the state, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah announced withdrawing all the notices served to farmers, individuals and institutions.
The two factions of the BJP, led by its state chief B Y Vijayendra and the other by Vijayapura MLA, Basanagouda Patil Yatnal have decided to take on the Congress government on the Waqf issue separately.
Vijayendra has planned a mega agitation at Belagavi during the winter session of the legislature and the Yatnal faction would take out a month long march from Bidar in north Karnataka to Chamarajanagar in the south.
