Voters , beware !
Miscreants are active spreading communal hatred
As the assembly election is gathering heat, all the political parties are intensifying their campaign. Mudslinging is too has increased rapidly. However a social media campaign under the pretext of Voter awareness is getting viral due to its communal content.
It is alleged that through this “Rashtra Gellisi” campaign certain posters are criticizing Siddaramaiah govt by invoking religious sentiments. Public have complained that the particular campaign is essentially a ploy to spread communal hatred.
The posters appeal to vote for Pro Hindu candidates. This campaign goes against the very spirit of constitution and code of conduct issued by EC.
The poster contains statements like.”Then, Sword in one hand and Quran in the other; Now, Fanaticism” Then Jesia for Hindus, Now- Shadi Bhagya, Shadi Mahal, and gifts to minority Journalist” However there is no clear information about author of this post and pamphlet. But the address mentions, that the said pamphlet is printed at Rashtrothana Press, Bangalore.
Vartha Bharathi brought this issue to the notice of Dr. B.R. Ravikanthe Gowda, SP , he promised to look in to the matter and initiate action. He also said that he would discuss the issue with the District magistrate.

Allahabad HC dismisses petition seeking permission to mount loudspeaker on mosque
Prayagraj, Jan 24 (PTI): The Allahabad High Court on Wednesday dismissed a writ petition seeking direction to the state authorities to permit the mounting of loudspeakers on a Masjid.
The court observed that the religious places were for offering prayers, therefore the use of loudspeakers was not a matter of right.
Dismissing the writ petition filed by Pilibhit-resident Mukhtiyar Ahmad, a two judge-bench, comprising Justice Ashwani Kumar Mishra and Justice Donadi Ramesh, observed, "Religious places are for offering prayers to the divinity and use of loudspeakers cannot be claimed as a matter of right, particularly when often such use of loudspeakers create nuisance for the residents".
At the outset, the state counsel objected to the maintainability of the writ on the grounds that the petitioner was neither a mutawalli, nor did the mosque belong to him.
The court also noted that the petitioner did not have locus to file the writ petition.
The term 'locus' is a legal concept that refers to the right of a person or entity to participate in a legal proceeding or bring a lawsuit.
