Mangaluru, May 6: In the district BJP manifesto released at the party office here on Sunday, lot of words were mis-spelt. Mistakes were crept into various words in the text.

In the four page manifesto released by MP Nalin Kumar Kateel, lot of words like ವಿವಿದ, ಪ್ರಸ್ಥುತ, ಅಭಿವೃದ್ದಿ, ಹೆಚ್ಷಿನ, ಹೆಚ್ಷು, ಅಸಕ್ತಿ, ತಜ್ನರ, ನಿಷೇದಿಸುವುದು, ಬ್ರಷ್ಟಾಚಾರ, ತುಳುಬಾಷೆ, ಅಭಿವೃದ್ಸಿ, ಭೂಸ್ವಾದೀನ ಪ್ರಕ್ರೀಯನ್ನು, ಶೇಕರಣಾ, ನಗರದಾಧ್ಯಂತ, ಬಸ್ಸ್ಟಾಂಡ್, ಆಧ್ಯತೆ, ವ್ಯವಸ್ತೆಗಳ, ವೈಜ್ನಾನಿಕ,  were spelt mistakenly.

While releasing the manifesto, Nalin Kumar said that before preparing the manifesto, the manifesto preparation committee has visited all the eight constituencies in the district to elicit the opinion of the people and prepared a popular manifesto.

But the committee has failed to look into the mistakes. If the text was reviewed properly by the experts before sending it to printing, such mistakes could have been avoided. People are saying that the BJP has killed Kannada language.

New Delhi, May 17 (PTI): Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday hit out at the government for "informing" Pakistan about targeting terror infrastructure as part of Operation Sindoor, saying it was a crime and asking who had authorised it.

In a post on X, Gandhi questioned External Affairs Minister (EAM) S Jaishankar for publicly admitting that the government of India (GOI) had informed Pakistan of the action and asked how many aircraft the Indian Air Force lost as a result.

"Informing Pakistan at the start of our attack was a crime. EAM has publicly admitted that GOI did it. Who authorised it? How many aircraft did our air force lose as a result?" said Gandhi, the leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha.

He also shared an undated video of Jaishankar saying India had informed Pakistan of the action against terror infrastructure on its soil.

Jaishankar can be heard saying in the video, "At the start of the operation, we had sent a message to Pakistan, saying, 'We are striking at terrorist infrastructure and we are not striking at the military.'"

"So the military has the option of standing out and not interfering in this process. They chose not to take that good advice," the minister can be heard saying in the clip.

The Press Information Bureau (PIB), however, has debunked claims that Jaishankar had said India informed Pakistan ahead of Operation Sindoor. In a post on X, the PIB's Fact Check Unit said the minister had not made any such statement and that he was being misquoted.

Operation Sindoor was the Indian offensive against terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) following the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam.
