Burka-turban-clad people need not come to my office: BJP MLA Yatnal
Viral Video
Vijayapura, June 7: BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal triggered a controversy saying that burka and turban-clad people need not come to his office as he has got votes only from Hindus and he would work for them.
His statement made in a private programme recently has gone viral in social media triggering widespread resentment among people. “I have taken an oath not to see the Muslims till the election process is completed. Moreover, I have clearly said that I would not require the votes of Muslims.
The Hindus who have been supporting the Muslims might have born to them. They thought that I would bite the dust in the election”, he said.
He has asked even the city corporation members not to do any works for the Muslims. If the Muslims torture Hindu women and businessmen, action would be taken against them. He had informed the Hindus thatthey would not have a future if he was not elected. So, they have elected him, he claimed.
Statement is not acceptable
It is inhuman to say that burka and turban-clad people should not come to his office. It is proved from the statement of Yatnal that BJP is anti-Muslim. Such statements igniting hatred among religions are condemnable.

‘I’m committed to my statement’
“Is it wrong to speak about Hindus in the country? I have cleared before the election that I would not require Muslim votes. I am committed to my statement even now. It is true that I have spoken about this during Shivaji Maharaj programme. You are questioning me for speaking about Hindu religion. Go and ask Asaduddin Owaisi instead of asking me”.

Online fraud: Hotel chef from Udupi cheated of over Rs 1 lakh by WhatsApp contact
Udupi: Udupi City Police have registered a case of online fraud after a 62-year-old hotel chef was allegedly cheated of Rs 1.13 lakh by a woman who befriended him on WhatsApp, claiming to be based in London.
The victim, identified as Pandu Kariappa Poojary, a resident of Kuthpadi in Udupi, was working at a hotel in Mangaluru.
He reportedly came into contact with a woman identifying herself as Emilda William on WhatsApp. During their interactions, she told Poojary that she planned to start a cosmetics and hotel business in India and would meet him during a visit to Mangaluru.
On April 7, Emilda sent Poojary a flight ticket from London to Delhi via WhatsApp. The following day, Poojary received a phone call from a woman who informed him that Emilda had arrived at Delhi airport carrying a demand draft worth Rs 5 crore along with other items. The caller allegedly asked him to pay Rs 70,000.
Subsequently, Poojary also received a call from Emilda, who was reportedly crying and spoke about the situation. Believing the claims, he transferred a total of Rs 1,13,300 in phases using a scanner. He later realised that he had been cheated.
