No need to give answer to issue creators, CM ridicules MP Pratap Simha
Mysuru, October 10: Lashing out at MP Pratap Simha, Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy said that there was no need to give answers to those who create issues.
He was speaking to reporters after inaugurating the Dasara Film Festival at Kalamandir here on Wednesday.
Expressing his ire over Pratap Simha for his statement to stop Tippu Jayanti and Mahisha Dasara, the CM said that he would not take any decision which will disturb the peace in the society. There was no need to give answer to those who make derogatory statements. There was no need to give much importance to such statements. “It is my responsibility to ensure law and order in the state. I know what to do and what not to do”, he said.
After Inaugurating the Dasara festival, he had mixed feelings about the present situation in the state. Some parts have received good rains, while other parts have been facing acute scarcity of rains. Some parts have experienced flood situation. So, he would pray the Goddess Chamundeshwari to bless the people of the state, he said.
On the conspicuous absence of Congress MP and MLAs from the programme, the Chief Minister said that all leaders have been cooperating for the success of the Dasara festival. Since the Lok Sabha by-election was announced, they might be busy in their works. Ministers Jayamala and Rajashekar Basavaraj Patil have attended the programme. Others would also join the team in future, he said.

Four doctors in Kerala booked for birth of newborn with genetic disorders
Alappuzha, (Kerala) (PTI): Four doctors in Kerala have been booked for allegedly failing to detect genetic disorders in a newborn while it was still in the mother's womb, the police said on Thursday.
The accused include two female doctors attached to the Kadappuram Government Women and Child Hospital in Alappuzha, along with two doctors from private diagnostic labs, according to the Alappuzha South police.
The police registered an FIR on Tuesday based on a complaint lodged by Anish and Surumi, a couple from Alappuzha.
They alleged that the doctors failed to detect or disclose the genetic abnormalities during prenatal scans, instead assuring them that the reports were normal.
The couple also claimed that they were shown the baby only four days after delivery, according to the complaint.
The FIR stated that Surumi, 35, was undergoing treatment for her third pregnancy at Kadappuram Women and Child Hospital.
On October 30, Surumi was admitted for delivery. However, she was referred to Government Medical College Hospital (MCH) in Vandanam, Alappuzha, citing the absence of fetal movement and heartbeat, the FIR said.
On November 8, the baby was delivered following surgery at MCH and was found to have severe internal and external deformities, the FIR stated.
Meanwhile, one of the accused doctors, responding to the allegations, said she had treated Surumi only during the initial months of her pregnancy.
"I provided care for three months at the beginning of her pregnancy. The reports shown to me indicated issues with the fetus's growth," she said.
The doctors associated with the diagnostic labs, however, maintained that there were no errors in the scan reports.
The police registered a case invoking Sections 125 (act endangering life or personal safety of others), 125 (b) (where grievous hurt is caused, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to three years, or with fine which may extend to ten thousand rupees, or with both) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) against the accused.
