Bengaluru, May 26: B.S Yeddyurappa said that BJP has not called Karnataka bandh demanding farmers' loan waive in cooperative and nationalised banks. Instead farmers themselves have called for a statewide bandh.

Speaking to the reporters at his residence in Dollars colony Yeddyurappa said that his party will support the bandh called by farmers.

During election campaign Kumaraswamy had promised that he will waive farmers' loan within a day after coming to the power. But now he is saying that his party has not got the majority. This shows his double standards said Yeddyurappa.

Our fight will continue till the farmers loans are waived. We  will be an effective opposition in and outside of the house. Our fight will continue until the government wakes up he said.

People will vote for BJP by rejecting the unholy coalition between congress and JDS. BJP candidates will win in Rajarajeshwari Nagar and Jayanagar constituency he said.

BJP will support Farmers bandh in the state except in Rajarajeshwarinagar due assembly election.

New Delhi, Nov 14: India on Thursday said it will pursue an extradition request with Canada for Arsh Singh Gill alias Arsh Dalla, the de-facto chief of the Khalistan Tiger Force, following his arrest in that country.

Dalla was designated in India as a terrorist in 2023.

In July 2023, India had requested the Canadian government for his provisional arrest.

"In view of the recent arrest, our agencies will be following up on an extradition request," Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said.

"Given Arsh Dalla's criminal record in India and his involvement in similar illegal activities in Canada, it is expected that he will be extradited or deported to face justice in India," he added.

Dalla was reportedly arrested by the Canadian Police late last month.

"We have seen media reports circulating since November 10 on the arrest in Canada of proclaimed offender Arsh Singh Gill alias Arsh Dalla, the de-facto chief of the Khalistan Tiger Force," Jaiswal said.

"Canadian print and visual media have widely reported on the arrest. We understand that the Ontario Court has listed the case for hearing," he added.

Jaiswal was replying to media queries regarding the arrest of Dalla.

"Arsh Dalla is a proclaimed offender in over 50 cases of murder, attempt to murder, extortion and terrorist acts, including terror financing. In May 2022, a Red Corner Notice was issued against him," Jaiswal said.

"He was designated in India as an individual terrorist in 2023. In July 2023, the Government of India had requested the Canadian government for his provisional arrest. This was declined," he added.

Jaiswal said India had provided additional information in the case to the Canadian authorities.

"A separate request was also sent to Canada under the Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT) to verify Arsh Dalla's suspected residential address, his financial transactions to India, moveable/immovable properties, details of mobile numbers etc - all of which were provided to Canadian authorities in January 2023," Jaiswal said.

"In December 2023, the Department of Justice of Canada sought additional information on the case. A reply to these queries was sent in March this year," he added.
