Congress in Karnataka unified, says U T Khader
Mangaluru, Sep 24: Dismissing the BJP's allegation that Congress in Karnataka lacked unity, deputy leader of Opposition in the State Assembly U T Khader on Saturday said the ruling party is engaged in a propaganda war.
Addressing reporters here, Khader said both D K Shivakumar and Siddaramaiah are having a cordial relationship and the BJP is frequently raising the charge against Congress to create confusion among the people.
He said despite the departure of many leaders from the party, the Congress would always stick to its principles.
Khader said Rahul Gandhi's historic Bharat Jodo Yatra' would enter the State through Gundulpet by this month-end. The yatra is aimed at building bond of friendship among the people of all States, he said.
No one has undertaken such a yatra in the country's history and no one is likely to do so in future as well, he said, adding that the march would instil hope and confidence in the people.
Rahul Gandhi's yatra would unite the people at a time when people are being divided on the basis of religion and caste. Congress workers from Mangaluru would take part in the yatra programme at Chamarajanagar on October 2, Khader said.
On the controversy over PayCM posters put up by the Congress, Khader said BJP has been campaigning against Congress leaders through derogatory comments on social media. If they are probing into the Congress campaign, let them investigate into the BJP's negative propaganda against Congress leaders, too, he said.
Khader said while countering extremist activities in society, impartial action should be taken against everyone who creates fear in society through murders and attacks. There should not be any discrimination while taking legal action against criminal elements, he said.

Israel officials, media reports claim Khamenei killed in airstrike
Tel Aviv/Tehran: Conflicting claims have emerged over the status of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei following recent US-Israeli strikes.
The developments come after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke of “growing signs” that Iran’s supreme leader may be “gone.” His remarks triggered a wave of unverified reports suggesting that Khamenei had been killed in the strikes.
Several Israeli media outlets, including News 12 and The Times of Israel, cited officials claiming that the Iranian leader had died.
Israeli media reports also quoted officials adding that the dead body of the Iran's Supreme Leader was found. It also stated that the photo of Khamenei's dead body was shown to US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
However, Iranian media and officials have rejected these claims. According to reports from Tehran, authorities said Khamenei is “safe and sound” and dismissed the reports as false.
There has been no independent confirmation of either claim so far.
