Bengaluru/Koppal, June 27: Deputy Chief Minister Dr G Parameshwar said that the JDS-Congress coalition government would complete five years term as per the direction of the party high command and whatever the statements on toppling the government would become irrelevant.

After receiving the guard of honour at a passing out parade at the KSRP Training School at Koppal on Wednesday, the DCM said that both the parties have agreed for five years term. “I am the KPCC president and HD Kumaraswamy will be the Chief Minister for five years. I am telling you this being the KPCC president. There is no doubt in it”, he said.

Being a partner of the coalition government in the state, the Congress would support the stand of Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on waiver of farm loans. District ministers would be appointed for all districts shortly. As alleged by some people, the north Karnataka was not neglected, he said.

Parameshwar also said that he did not know anything about the statement of Siddaramaiah who spoke privately.

Bijnor (PTI): Two men were arrested in this Uttar Pradesh district on Friday for allegedly being in touch with a Pakistan-linked handler based in Dubai, police said.

Circle Officer, Najibabad, Anjani Kumar Chaturvedi said Uvaid Malik and Jalal Haider were arrested following inputs on their alleged links with Aqib, a resident of Meerut currently staying in Dubai.

According to police, Aqib had earlier come into the spotlight after a video surfaced on Instagram purportedly showing him displaying an AK-47 rifle and explosives.

During interrogation, the arrested men allegedly told police that Aqib used to incite youngsters against Hindus and encourage anti-national activities, the officer said, adding that detailed questioning of the accused is underway.

On April 6, Superintendent of Police (SP) Abhishek Jha said the video first surfaced in November last year. Aqib, a native of Sathla village in the Mawana area of Meerut, was allegedly seen in the video brandishing weapons.

Following the viral clip, a case was registered at the Nangal police station by sub-inspector Vinod Kumar. However, the then station house officer and investigating officer Satyendra Singh had recorded Aqib's statement and filed a final report, stating that the weapons seen in the video were toys, effectively giving him a clean chit.

Police said fresh developments have now revealed Aqib's suspicious links and the probe has been handed over to the Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS).

The SP said action has been taken against the officials concerned, with the then SHO and investigating officer suspended and Circle Officer Nitesh Pratap Singh removed from his post.
