Communal message being circulated using Vartha Bharati's name, mobile number; complaint filed
Mangaluru: A WhatsApp message with communally sensitive content was being circulated on social media by miscreants using the name of Vartha Bharati and the mobile number of VB’s in charge. Reacting to the development, a complaint to Mangaluru Police Commissioner was filed by Vartha Bharati citing miscreants were using the name of the organization to spread hatred and communal tension.
In the complaint, Vartha Bharati urged the police commissioner to identify the people behind the move and to initiate strict action against them.
In the message that is doing rounds across social media platforms, people have been urged to contact to conduct funeral rites of Muslim COVID fatalities. Apart from a leader of a political party, the message has contact details of VB’s CEO urging people to contact them for funeral rites of Muslims and not hand over Muslim bodies to Hindus.
The communal message has nothing to do with the VB newspaper. VB has no relationship with the person mentioned in the message. Neither the newspaper nor any of its representatives have made any such messages and VB strongly condemns messages like these.
The newspaper has filed a complaint with the Mangalore Police Commissioner on Monday, demanding that legal action be taken against the perpetrators of misleading and hate-provoking messages in the society by misusing the mobile number of those in a responsible position.

Rajya Sabha adjourned till 12 pm as BJP members protest slogans against PM Modi at Congress rally
New Delhi (PTI): Rajya Sabha proceedings were adjourned till 12 noon on Monday amid uproar from Treasury benches over slogans raised against Prime Minister Narendra Modi at a Congress rally in Delhi on Sunday.
Immediately after papers were laid in the Upper House, Leader of the House and Union Minister J P Nadda condemned the Congress for the slogans, saying they reflected the party's thinking.
"With pain and an agitated heart, I want to share before the House that yesterday in the Congress party rally, slogans were shouted 'Modi teri kabr khudegi, aaj nahi to kal khudegi' (Modi's grave will be dug.. if not today, then tomorrow). This type of slogan reflects the Congress party's thinking and mindset," Nadda said.
Describing the slogans as "condemnable," Nadda said Leader of the Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge and senior Congress leader Sonia Gandhi should apologise to the nation.
"Congress has stooped to a low level in politics, and it is unimaginable," he added.
The remarks triggered an uproar in the House, prompting Deputy Chairman Harivansh to adjourn proceedings till 12 noon.
