Bengaluru,May 1: As Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to land in Karnataka on Tuesday for campaigning, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has a few questions for the prime minister.

Dear @narendramodi ಅವರೇ,

Heard you are visiting Namma Karnataka tomorrow. We welcome you to our state.

While you are here, we Kannadigas would like you to address the following concerns.

ದಯವಿಟ್ಟು #AnswerMaadiModi ಅವರೇ

In next tweet, Siddaramaiah asked Modi to clarify wheather Janardhan Reddy would campaign in support of B Sriramulu, the party candidate from Badami.

 


 

Scam-tainted Reddy has not been included in the BJP list, but will be campaigning for his “friend” Sirarmulu.

Speaking to reporters earlier, BS Yeddyurappa, the CM canidadte from BJP had said: “Janardhan Reddy has not been included in the electioneering list of the BJP. He is campaigning not for the party, but for his friend Sriramulu.”

Siddaramaiah then asked the prime minister if Yeddyurappa is still his party’s chief ministerial candidate, when he reportedly is unwilling to share a stage with the latter.

 


 

Hitting out at the series of advertisements that the BJP had taken out in newspapers promising action against rape accused in Karnataka, Siddaramaiah tweeted:

 


 

In UP’s Unnao rape case, BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar is an accused. Meanwhile in Kathua in Jammu and Kashmir, where an eight-year-old was raped and murdered, BJP leaders have been demanding a CBI probe, which is seen by many as a move to ‘shield the accused.’

Siddaramaiah, in his next tweet, criticised the shock demonetisation of November 2016, which left several people across the country in a limbo owing to cash-crunch. He also hit out at the prime minister for his ‘pakoda’ comment.

 


 

At the end of this tweet storm, Siddarmaiah asked one final question, criticising the NDA’s government’s farm relief package and the banking mess in the economy.

New Delhi: The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) has raised serious concerns over alleged procedural violations by the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) reviewing the Waqf Amendment Bill 2024. AIMPLB spokesperson Dr. SQR Ilyas criticised the JPC's approach, describing it as a "transgression of principles" and a breach of constitutional norms.

Dr. Ilyas stated that the JPC should limit consultations to stakeholders directly associated with Waqf matters. However, he claimed the committee is seeking input from organisations that lack relevance, including Central Ministries, the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), and groups aligned with the RSS.

In recent developments, six opposition members wrote to the Lok Sabha Speaker, expressing dissatisfaction with JPC Chairperson Jagdambika Pal’s conduct, which they allege has hindered fair discussions. This follows an earlier letter by opposition members condemning the chairman's behaviour.

The AIMPLB has demanded that the committee consider objections from AIMPLB and other recognised Muslim organisations, while excluding entities unrelated to Waqf issues. It also urged the JPC to refrain from rushing its report and to follow due process, ensuring thorough debate among members before submission.
