No armed training was held, it was a camp by VHP, Bajrang Dal: Kodagu SP M A Ayyappa
Kodagu: In light of the alleged armed training camp held at Kodagu by certain fringe right wing organisations which were circulating on social media platforms, Kodagu SP M A Aiyappa on Monday said that arms were not used during the training and justified that it was an annual camp organised by VHP and Bajrang Dal with the consent of the school authority.
“No armed training was held. It was an annual camp by VHP and Bajrang Dal for their youth workers. They have consented to the school authorities in advance. However, it has come to our knowledge through social media posts that air guns were used during the training camp. The district police are investigating in this regard,” he said.
Further, he said, “according to the regulations of the Arms Act and Arms Rules, one does not require special permission for the purchase and use of air guns. We will provide additional information in this regard after a detailed investigation.”
However, he clarified that no complaint in this regard has been registered so far while confirming that the current investigations are carried out based on social media posts alleging use of arms at the camp.

TN Governor should invite Vijay to form govt, then prove majority: Former MP Prakash Ambedkar
Mumbai: Senior politician and constitutional expert Prakash Ambedkar has opined that Tamil Nadu Governor Rajendra Arlekar should invite the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam President Vijay to form the government as his party emerged as the single largest party in the Assembly elections.
Ambedkar, who is a Mumbai-based advocate, activist and also the grandson of Dr. BR Ambedkar, is a former Parliamentarian.
Citing articles from the Constitution and similar incidents in the political history of the nation, Prakash Ambedkar has explained why Vijay cannot be stopped from forming the government in Tamil Nadu, reports Deccan Herald.
“Merely doubt over whether the TVK has the necessary number cannot suffice to withhold the invitation to the party to form the government. The Governor should invite Vijay, President of TVK, the single-largest party, to form the government and assume office as the next Chief Minister. After taking charge, as per the Article 164 (2) of the Constitution, Vijay will have to prove that his government has a majority in the House,” Ambedkar explained.
He also gave examples from India’s political history supporting his argument.
Ambedkar cited the example of the 1989 Lok Sabha elections and said that, although the Congress (I) emerged the single-largest party with 194 seats, Rajiv Gandhi declined the invitation by President R Venkataraman to form the government. “My friend Vishwanath Pratap Singh, leader of the National Front, was then invited and sworn in as Prime Minister on December 2, 1989,” he added.
He then recalled the 1996 elections to the Lower House of the Parliament, when the BJP emerged the single-largest party, but the Parliament was hung as the BJP lacked a majority. “Atal Bihari Vajpayee was invited by President Shankar Dayal Sharma to form the government and was sworn in as Prime Minister. Vajpayee resigned 13 days later on May 28, 1996, after failing to secure majority support in the Lok Sabha,” Ambedkar explained.
