Will file defamation suit against minister Byrathi Suresh: Renukacharya
Bengaluru: Former minister M.P. Renukacharya has cautioned that he is prepared to file a defamation suit against Byrathi Suresh for his allegedly derogatory remarks about women.
Renukacharya criticised Byrathi Suresh for his irresponsible statements, pointing out that he has a habit of making allegations about women's character whenever he faces accusations. "It is unacceptable to speak about the character of those in public life," he stated. He further questioned the appropriateness of commenting on the late Maitradevi, wife of former Chief Minister Yediyurappa, many years after her passing.
"I strongly condemn the irresponsible comments made about Maitradevi and Shobha Karandlaje. We will file a defamation suit against this," Renukacharya asserted.

Pakistan reports two more polio cases; Total tally now 52
ISLAMABAD: At least two more cases of poliovirus were reported in Pakistan, taking the number of infections to 52 so far this year, a report said on Friday.
“The Regional Reference Laboratory for Polio Eradication at the National Institute of Health has confirmed the detection of two more wild poliovirus type 1 (WPV1) cases in Pakistan," an official statement said.
The fresh infections — a boy and a girl — were reported from the Dera Ismail Khan district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province.
“Genetic sequencing of the samples collected from the children is underway," the statement read. Dera Ismail Khan, one of the seven polio-endemic districts of southern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, has reported five polio cases so far this year.
Of the 52 cases in the country this year, 24 are from Balochistan, 13 from Sindh, 13 from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and one each from Punjab and Islamabad.
There is no cure for polio. Only multiple doses of the oral polio vaccine and completion of the routine vaccination schedule for all children under the age of five can keep them protected.
