If I was Home Minister, I would have asked to shoot them: Basanagouda Patil Yatnal
‘Country is weak because of ‘traitor’ intellectuals under the guise of secularism’
Bengaluru/Vijayapura, July 26: Once again Vijayapura BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal landed in a controversy over remarks against the intellectuals.
“The country is weak because of the ‘traitor’ intellectuals under the guise of secularism. If I was the Home Minister, I would have asked the authorities to shoot them en-mass”, Yatnal said.
Speaking at Kargil Vijayotsava organized at Vijayapura on Thursday, Yatnal said that the number of those who have been conspiring against the country after consuming the food and water of the land was increasing considerably. The incidents of shouting anti-Indian slogans and pelting stones on the soldiers in Jammu and Kashmir should be condemned. It was unfortunate that the Opposition leaders have been making allegations that the ‘women were being raped by the soldiers’. If cases were booked against anti-nationals or traitors, the intellectuals raise hue and cry saying that human rights violation was being happened. But when the soldiers face lot of problems including lowest temperature while protecting the country, no one would raise their voice against it, he blasted.
He said that a norm should be implemented in the country on the line of Israel that everyone should serve in the army for some time compulsorily. This would control the politicians from looting the wealth of the country, he said.
When the sacrifice of the soldiers was being remembered across the country, previous chief minister’s media advisor Dinesh Amin Mattu has given most irresponsible statement. Pakistan and China were the major enemies of the country. Pakistan has never stopped its cunning mindset. When then prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee extended the hands of friendship, Pakistan had back-stabbed him, he said.

Delhi: Father, son held for killing 19-year-old woman in suspected honour killing
New Delhi (PTI): The Delhi Police has arrested a man and his son for allegedly murdering his 19-year-old daughter in west Delhi's Hari Nagar area, an official said on Friday.
The case first came to light on April 1 after a PCR call was received around 2 pm, alleging that a woman had been killed by her family members and her body was being taken for last rites, he said.
The accused, identified as Mohammad Maneer (55), a vegetable vendor, and his son Meraj Ali (19), were arrested in connection with the case, the officer said.
The victim had been in a relationship with a man from her native place for the past two years, which was opposed by her father, Maneer and brother Meraj, he said.
"When the girl did not end the relationship despite objections, the family killed her," the officer said.
On April 1, the police said that when their team reached the spot, they found that the woman's body was being taken for burial.
Acting on the input, the burial process was stopped over suspicion of honour killing.
"Police intercepted the family members and took possession of the body," he said.
Police said that the man who had made the PCR told them that the woman was in love with his cousin.
During the inquiry, police also interacted with the PCR caller, who said his cousin, a friend of the deceased, had informed him about the situation and suspected foul play, prompting him to alert the police control room.
The body of the woman was subsequently shifted to the mortuary of Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital for preservation and postmortem.
Police said that both the crime team and the forensic science laboratory (FSL) team were called to inspect the scene and collect evidence.
Police said that, as per the postmortem report, the cause of death was identified as smothering, indicating that the woman was suffocated.
A preliminary inquiry also revealed that the family had initiated preparations for the last rites soon after the woman's death, raising suspicion about the circumstances.
Initial investigation pointed to the family's opposition to the woman's relationship.
"The family members of the woman saw her with the man, and she was taken back home. We got to know that she was beaten up and even locked inside the house for some days," a source said.
Further investigation into the matter is underway, police added.
