Karkala: Congress activist critically injured after alleged police assault
Karkala: In an alleged case of police atrocity, a Congress activist from Karkala has been hospitalized after he was reportedly assaulted by police officers in Karkala.
According to the reports, Radhakrishna Nayak, a Congress worker had filed a police complaint in August last year stating that a fake Facebook account was created using his credentials and a derogatory post against the Indian Army was made through the account.
Then an employee of a private firm in Bengaluru, Radhakrishna had filed police complaint on 26-8-2020. Following the procedure and request from the police, he had filed another complaint in this regard on 4-9-2020. Radhakrishna’s statement was also recorded at Gangamma Gudi Police Station where the complaint was filed.
Radhakrishna had then lost his job in Bengaluru and had returned to his native Karkala. In April 2021 he also suffered a cardiac arrest and was ailing.
Radhakrishna’s family sources alleged that he received a call from Karkala Police Station few days back after which he visited the police station for three days but was unable to meet the SHO. On Thursday, the cops allegedly assaulted Radhakrishna after which he was taken to a hospital in Manipal where his health is critical, family sources said.
Former Karnataka CM and Congress senior leader Siddaramaiah and DYFI State President Muneer Katipalla took to their respective social media accounts to condemn the incident and sought action against guilty.
ಕಾರ್ಕಳದ ಕಾಂಗ್ರೆಸ್ ಕಾರ್ಯಕರ್ತ ರಾಧಾಕೃಷ್ಣ ನಾಯಕ್ ಮೇಲೆ ನಡೆದ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ ದೌರ್ಜನ್ಯ ಖಂಡನೀಯ.

ಇವರ ಅನಾರೋಗ್ಯವನ್ನೂ ಲೆಕ್ಕಿಸದೆ,
ಹಳೆ ಸುಳ್ಳು ಕೇಸ್ ಆಧರಿಸಿ,
ಪೊಲೀಸರು ದೌರ್ಜನ್ಯ ನಡೆಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ.
ಈ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಉಡುಪಿ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ ವರಿಷ್ಠಾಧಿಕಾರಿಗಳು ತನಿಖೆ ನಡೆಸಿ ನೊಂದ ಯುವಕನಿಗೆ ನ್ಯಾಯ ಒದಗಿಸಬೇಕು.@DgpKarnataka pic.twitter.com/8zjPtLu3Lm

Amit Shah dares Rahul Gandhi to laud Savarkar, Bal Thackeray
Hingoli (PTI): Union minister Amit Shah on Friday dared Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to speak “nicely” about Veer Savarkar and Shiv Sena founder Bal Thackeray.
“Uddhav ji, if you have the courage, get Rahul Baba to speak two good words about Veer Savarkar and Balasaheb,” Shah said, addressing a rally at Hingoli in Maharashtra ahead of the November 20 state assembly elections.
“Rahul Baba's Congress party has passed a resolution in Kashmir to bring back Article 370. Rahul Baba, listen carefully, not only you but even your fourth generation cannot bring back Article 370,” Shah said.
Shah said that in the Haryana assembly elections, Rahul Gandhi had said with confidence that his party had won.
“So much arrogance in a democracy. Look at the results, Congress was wiped out in Haryana and BJP formed the government,” he said.
The senior BJP leader said Sonia Gandhi tried to launch her son 20 times. Her “Rahul plane” is going to crash for the 21st time in Maharashtra elections, he added.
Maharashtra polls will decide whether the state follows the path of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and Veer Savarkar or the path of Aurangzeb, Shah said.
The BJP-led Mahayuti has chosen the path of Shivaji Maharaj and Veer Savarkar, while the Maha Vikas Aghadi people are the Aurangzeb fan club, he said.
“For 70 years, Congress obstructed the construction of Ram temple at Ayodhya, but Modi ji built it,” he said.
“In Karnataka, the Wakf Board has declared villages, temples, farmers' lands and people's houses as wakf properties. We have brought a bill to amend the Waqf Act, but Sharad Pawar and Company is opposing this bill.
“You can oppose it as much as you want, but the Modi government will change the Waqf Act with full force,” Shah said.
