MP Ananth Kumar Hegde demands investigation against Mandya student Muskan Khan, writes to CM
Bengaluru: MP Ananth Kumar Hegde has reportedly written a letter to Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai asking for an investigation against Mandya’s student named Muskan. During the Hijab controversy in the state, saffron-clad youngsters had surrounded the student in question at Mandya’s college campus to which she had stood her ground. In his letter, the MP has claimed that Muskan had received praises from the leader of Al-Qaeda, and sought an investigation against her in this regard.
“I have no idea about who the leader of the Al-Qaeda even is, I came to know that he has praised my daughter through the news channels. We do not need praises from people from other countries”, Muskan’s father Hussain told the media.
Now, MP Ananth Kumar Hegde has demanded that “Regarding the Hijab issue, the student must be investigated to see if she has involvement with unseen hands and banned organizations”, the MP said.

Two former Chinese defence ministers sentenced to death for corruption
Beijing (PTI): Two former Chinese defence ministers, Wei Fenghe and Li Shangfu, were sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve over graft charges on Thursday, official media reported.
Their sentences were separately handed down by China's military court, the state-run Xinhua news agency reported.
Wei was convicted of accepting bribes, while Li was convicted of both accepting and offering bribes, the agency reported, citing the court rulings.
Wei and his successor Li, who worked under President Xi Jinping's watch, were expelled from the ruling Communist Party in 2024. They were also former members of the Central Military Commission headed by Xi.
Wei served as Defence Minister from 2018 to 2023, and Li barely served a few months as his successor.
Both Wei and Li headed the People's Liberation Army's all-important Rocket (Missile) Force, established in 2015 as part of Xi’s military overhaul.
Wei, who headed the rocket force from its inception until 2017 and later served as the defence minister, was detained and expelled from the ruling Communist Party over corruption charges.
Li was personally picked up for the top defence post by Xi himself.
After Li’s sacking, several of its top officials were removed and charged with corruption.
Since he came to power in 2012, President Xi has carried out a massive anti-corruption campaign in which over a million officials, including several generals, have been punished.
