Din in K'taka Legislative Council over Cong MLC using 'derogatory' remarks against PM Modi
Bengaluru (PTI): Karnataka Legislative Council on Tuesday witnessed an uproarious scene over the alleged derogatory remarks made by Congress MLC Nazeer Ahmed against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
During a discussion in the Council on Monday, Ahmed made the derogatory remarks, which led to furore with the opposition BJP demanding an unconditional apology.
The din continued on Tuesday as well, with the BJP members trooping into the well of the House raising slogans against Ahmed.
Chairperson Basavaraj Horatti too gave a ruling that Ahmed should tender an unconditional apology.
The Congress MLC said he said so because he found it objectionable to call Modi as Vishwa Guru when Mahatma Gandhi is revered as Vishwa Guru.
He even said he is ready for suspension.
As the chaos continued, Horatti adjourned the proceedings of the House.

Ramdev criticises US, Israel over Iran war; video viral
New Delhi: Yoga guru Baba Ramdev has sharply criticised the United States and Israel over their conflict with Iran, in a video from a television interview that has gone viral on social media.
Speaking on a show aired by ABP News, Ramdev was asked whether India should support Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu or Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who was reported to have been killed on the first day of the war on February 28.
Responding to the question, Ramdev said, “You can kill a person, but you cannot kill his ideas, his philosophy, his mindset, his spirit, or his valour and heroism.”
He went on to express support for Iran, saying he may not know much about the country but believes its people cannot be subdued. Referring to the Shia Muslim community, he said no one could make them “bow down” or defeat them, adding that a significant section of Iran’s population strongly identifies with Khamenei’s ideology.
When asked about Netanyahu, Ramdev criticised both him and US President Donald Trump, saying they are “both cut from the same cloth.” He added, “I am not calling anyone a thief; I am simply citing a proverb it implies that they are both of the same ilk, and I consider them both to be war criminals. I consider them criminals against humanity; I consider them criminals against nature and the environment.”
He further said that the United States and Israel have “erected a Himalaya-sized mountain of political mistrust” and claimed that both countries would have to face the consequences for decades. “In this conflict, neither can America and Israel emerge victorious, nor can Iran be defeated,” he said.
Ramdev’s remarks come at a time when India’s position on the conflict has drawn attention. The government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has maintained what it describes as “strategic autonomy” in foreign policy.
