No one should speak against party: DK Shivakumar
Bengaluru, June 27: Water Resources and Medical Education Minister DK Shivakumar said that no one should speak against the party and it would apply to everybody including himself.
Speaking to reporters at his residence in the city on Wednesday, Shivakumar said that leaders should worship the party instead of worshiping an individual. The statement of former chief minister Siddaramaiah would not have any impact on the future of the JDS-Congress coalition government, he said.
Here party is important and not the person. Moreover, the statement of Siddaramaiah is not official. There is no need to read much about it. This coalition government would complete five years because, the agreement was signed between AICC president Rahul Gandhi and state incharge KC Venugopal. The government was given complete support. No one should give anti-party statements, he said.
The agreement made between Congress and JDS leaders at Ashoka Hotel was official and final. No one should give statement on alliance or the party, he said appealing the party leaders not to create any confusion.
Reacting to the statement of former MLA Cheluvarayaswamy that alliance is restricted to Bengaluru and not to Mandya, Shivakumar said that such statements were wrong. Poll alliance would change based on the requirement and time, he said.
On July 5, a programme would be held at Nonavinakere Ashrama of Tiptur and it was fixed before the Assembly election. Governor Vajubhai Vala would participate in it. So, he could not participate on the Budget Session to be held on the same day. He would try to attend the Budget presentation session. But there is no need to misinterpret it, he appealed.

Bijnor (PTI): Two men were arrested in this Uttar Pradesh district on Friday for allegedly being in touch with a Pakistan-linked handler based in Dubai, police said.
Circle Officer, Najibabad, Anjani Kumar Chaturvedi said Uvaid Malik and Jalal Haider were arrested following inputs on their alleged links with Aqib, a resident of Meerut currently staying in Dubai.
According to police, Aqib had earlier come into the spotlight after a video surfaced on Instagram purportedly showing him displaying an AK-47 rifle and explosives.
During interrogation, the arrested men allegedly told police that Aqib used to incite youngsters against Hindus and encourage anti-national activities, the officer said, adding that detailed questioning of the accused is underway.
On April 6, Superintendent of Police (SP) Abhishek Jha said the video first surfaced in November last year. Aqib, a native of Sathla village in the Mawana area of Meerut, was allegedly seen in the video brandishing weapons.
Following the viral clip, a case was registered at the Nangal police station by sub-inspector Vinod Kumar. However, the then station house officer and investigating officer Satyendra Singh had recorded Aqib's statement and filed a final report, stating that the weapons seen in the video were toys, effectively giving him a clean chit.
Police said fresh developments have now revealed Aqib's suspicious links and the probe has been handed over to the Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS).
The SP said action has been taken against the officials concerned, with the then SHO and investigating officer suspended and Circle Officer Nitesh Pratap Singh removed from his post.
