I’ve gifted iPhones to MPs: DK Shivakumar
Bengaluru, July 17: “With an intention of getting easy access and reaching information swiftly, I have gifted the iPhones personally to all Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha Members”, Medical Education and Water Resources Minister DK Shivakumar said.
Rajya Sabha Member Rajiv Chandrashekar tweeted about the iPhones given to the MPs that the government does not have money to give salaries to the civic workers. But the MPs were given iPhones, he tweeted.
Reacting to the twitter post, Shivakumar said that the iPhones were not given from the government money. He has personally given the iPhones to the MPs. Last year also, he had given iPhones to the MPs as gifts. This time also, he has sent the iPhones. As Rajiv Chandrashekar and some others are rich, they have returned the gifts. But those who are in need of the iPhones would utilize them properly. Finding faults in such acts is not right, he said.

'Operation Sindoor' Bharat's response to brutal killing of innocent people in Pahalgam: Amit Shah
New Delhi (PTI): Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday said the 'Operation Sindoor' is Bharat's response to the brutal killings of innocent people in Pahalgam.
Shah's remarks came after Indian armed forces carried out missile strikes on nine terror targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir, including the Jaish-e-Mohammad stronghold of Bahawalpur and Lashkar-e-Taiba's base in Muridke. The strike was codenamed as 'Operation Sindoor'.
The home minister said the Modi government is resolved to give a befitting response to any attack on India and its people and Bharat remains firmly committed to eradicating terrorism from its roots.
"Proud of our armed forces. #OperationSindoor is Bharat’s response to the brutal killing of our innocent brothers in Pahalgam," he wrote on 'X'.
The Indian strike was carried out in response to the April 22 terrorists attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam where 26 people were killed.
