Rules will be formed for transfer of police personnel: Home Minister G. Parameshwara
Bengaluru: Karnataka Home Minister announced that proper rules will be formulated for transfer of police constable at inter-district level. He was addressing the reporters in the city on Monday.
He pointed out that till now there were no rules on the transfer of constables. “This time, transfers involving husband and wife will be done. I have discussed this matter with the Director General of Police. The issue of inter-district transfers will be resolved soon."
Responding to allegations from the BJP that the government is showing partiality in cases, particularly in the illegal activities involving the Valmiki Corporation compared to actor Darshan's case, Parameshwara asserted that the government is not protecting any wrongdoers. "Action will be taken according to the law, regardless of whether the culprits are officers or political figures," he said.

He clarified that the CBI is investigating the fraud involving bank officials, while the SIT is probing the fraud within the department. Addressing the BJP's protests and threats to besiege the Chief Minister's house, he remarked, "Let them protest, who says no? It is natural for accusations to be made against ministers and MLAs during investigations. Action will be taken based on the investigation report."
Regarding the impact of the three new criminal laws enacted in the country, Parameshwara noted that it is too early to assess their effects. "These new laws will apply to cases registered from today. We will have to see how they are addressed in court once cases are registered," he added.

CJI Surya Kant clarifies 'parasites' remarks, says 'pained' over media reports
New Delhi (PTI): Chief Justice of India Surya Kant on Saturday issued a strongly worded clarification on his 'parasites' remarks, saying he was "pained" by media reports that suggested he criticised youth.
"I am pained to read how a section of the media has misquoted my oral observations made during the hearing of a frivolous case yesterday," the CJI said in a statement.
Kant emphasised that his remarks were specifically directed at individuals entering the legal profession through "fake and bogus degrees" and were "misquoted by a section of the media."
The clarification follows a controversy during a hearing on Friday, when the CJI used words like "parasites" and "cockroaches" while pulling up a lawyer for his plea seeking senior designation.
"What I had specifically criticised were those who have entered professions like the Bar (legal profession) with the aid of fake and bogus degrees. Similar persons have sneaked into the media, social media, and other noble professions as well, and hence, they are like parasites.
"It is totally baseless to suggest that I criticised the youth of our nation. Not only am I proud of our present and future human resource, but every youth of India inspires me. It is not an exaggeration to say that Indian youth have great regard and respect for me, and I too see them as the pillars of a developed India," the chief justice said about his remarks.
