Karnataka BJP leaders draw flak for sharing stage with history-sheeter
Bengaluru, Nov 28: BJP leaders in Karnataka sharing the stage with history-sheeter 'Silent' Sunila, has elicited a sharp criticism, especially from the opposition Congress.
BJP's Bangalore Central MP P C Mohan, Bangalore South MP Tejasvi Surya, Chickpet MLA Uday Garudahar, Bengaluru South BJP president N R Ramesh among others on Sunday were seen at a blood donation camp with Sunila.
The Congress, in a series of tweets, accused the ruling BJP of having links with criminals, and asked Home Minister Araga Jnanendra whether he had prevented police from taking action.
"How can the crime rate in the state come down, when criminals have links with BJP. @JnanendraAraga, does your department not have the ability to catch rowdies or have you prevented the cops yourself? How did the BJP leaders catch the rowdy, whom the crime branch could not?" the Congress asked.
"Courtesy BJP-Now the police are silent in front of the rowdy called Silent Sunil! @JnanendraAraga- Wasn't the police looking for him? Was there no police there when BJP leaders were on stage? Who prevented the police from arresting? Whether rowdies have become more influential than the police?" the opposition party said in another tweet.
Responding to a question in this regard, Home Minister Jnanendra in Shivamogga told reporters that he was unaware of the developments and will react after gathering information.
Clarifying that there is no political pressure on the police, Central Crime Branch (CCB) Joint Commissioner S D Sharanappa said there was no pending warrant against Sunila, nor is the person needed for inquiry in connection with any case, so he was not picked up from the venue after the event.
"Rowdy sheeters like 'Silent' Sunila and associates are continuously under watch. He was called a few months ago and given warning. He was not there when we recently conducted raids on rowdy sheeters. We are aware of him attending an event yesterday, our officials had kept a watch," he said.
Further stating that action is being taken against history-sheeters depending on cases or warrants against them or requirements in connection with any case or inquiry, he said no one is allowed to take law into their hands and disturb public order.

Cristiano Ronaldo scores his 100th Saudi Pro League goal
Riyadh (AP): Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 100th Saudi Pro League goal as Al-Nassr beat Al-Shabab 4-2 to move five points clear at the top of the table.
The 41-year-old forward converted a Sadio Mané cross at the near post with 15 minutes remaining to record the 971st goal of his career on Thursday. It was also his 26th league goal of the season.
“Ronaldo is always dangerous going forward and we saw that again today,” Al-Nassr coach Jorge Jesus said.
João Félix, signed from Chelsea in July, scored three goals for the league leaders.
The win took Al-Nassr to 82 points from 32 games, five ahead of Al-Hilal, which has three matches, one more than Nassr, left to play. Al-Hilal meets Al-Kholood on Friday and faces Nassr on Tuesday in what could be a title decider against its Riyadh rival.
“Now we have a derby match against our rival, which is a difficult encounter,” Jesus said.
“We are fully aware of its importance, and we are dealing with it with complete focus as we know that small details could decide the result.”
Ronaldo, a five-time Ballon d'Or winner, has yet to secure a major trophy in Saudi Arabia since signing with Al-Nassr in December 2022.
