“Why should Modi react if dog dies in Karnataka?”
Pramod Muthalik’s controversial statement on Gauri lankesh killing
Bengaluru: Hitting out at people who have accused PM Modi of keeping silent on the murder of journalist Gauri Lankesh, Sri Ram Sene chief Pramod Muthalik questioned on Sunday, "why should the prime minister react if some dog dies in Karnataka?"
Speaking at a public meeting in Bengaluru, Muthalik said "two murders happened in Karnataka and two happened in Maharashtra during the Congress regime. No one is uttering a word over Congress government's failure. Instead, they are asking why PM Modi is silent and not commenting on Gauri Lankesh's death. Why should PM react if some dog dies in Karnataka?"
Muthalik passed this comment three days after Parashuram Waghmare, the last of six suspects in the Gauri Lankesh killing, was arrested by the special investigating team (SIT).
After a photograph surfaced on social media of the Sri Ram Sene chief with the murder accused, Muthalik admitted to knowing him. Later, he backtracked, saying, "There is no connection between Sri Ram Sene and Waghmare. He is neither our member nor our worker...This I say very clearly."

Ball Python rescued from housing society in Mumbai
Mumbai (PTI): A ball python, generally found in Africa, has been rescued from a residential area in Mumbai, a wildlife welfare group representative said on Thursday.
The reptile was found abandoned at a housing society in Mahim last week, triggering panic in the area.
After being alerted, members of a wildlife welfare NGO reached the spot, rescued the snake and handed it over to the forest department, he said.
The ball python is not native to India. Hence, the reptile found here is suspected to be a lost or abandoned illegal pet, the Resqink Association for Wildlife Welfare (RAWW) said.
The forest department is investigating the matter to initiate necessary action, it said.
The snake will be rehabilitated in consultation with experts from RAWW, the NGO said.
