Protest on August 16 demanding arrest of accused
Assault on Puneeth Shetty
Mangaluru, August 09: Demanding the arrest of the accused who have allegedly assaulted Indian National Trade Union Congress (INTUC) leader Puneeth Shetty, INTUC workers have decided to hold a protest in front of the deputy commissioner’s office here on August 16.
Condemning the attack on Puneeth Shetty in front of the party leaders, INTUC leader Deekshith Shetty said that such kinds of attitudes would definitely defame the party. Without tolerating the INTUC youth wing which has been encouraging the youths to come up in politics in the district, some Youth Congress goondas who were limited to just stage programmes, have assaulted Puneeth Shetty and the accused should be arrested immediately. Party leaders and workers should teach a lesson to such goondas, he demanded.
It was unfortunate that a labour leader was attacked. The party leaders should take disciplinary action against him and his followers. The police department should arrest them. Otherwise, they would stage a protest in front of the deputy commissioner’s office, he said in a press release.

Girls, women have no protection under Congress govt in Karnataka, claims BJP
Bengaluru (PTI): The BJP on Saturday slammed the Siddaramaiah-led Congress government over the law and order situation in Karnataka and alleged that young girls and women had no protection.
Sharing a newsreport where a minor Dalit girl was allegedly impregnated by a youth in Hubballi, the BJP took to social media platform to condemn the incident.
In a post on 'X', the BJP alleged that the minor girl was "raped by a fanatic" and that there is no "protection for Hindu young women and girls in Hubballi." "Hindu young women are today victims of the mistake of giving power to terrorists, rapists, fanatic Jhihadists called brothers @INCKarnataka like the Kerala files," the party alleged in the post.
Meanwhile, a youth has been arrested for allegedly impregnating minor girl in Hubballi, police said.
Citing the recent murder case of Congress Councillor Niranjan Hiremath's 23-year-old daughter Neha, who was stabbed to death inside her college campus in Hubballi, the BJP attacked the state government over the investigation in the case.
The case is being probed by the State's Criminal Investigation Department.
"While Neha's murder case in Hubballi is still pending, another inhumane incident has made Kannadigas to lower their heads. If they @siddaramaiah and @Dr Parameshwara (Home Minister) do not crush the bigots immediately, the Hindus will destroy the government," the BJP said in the post.
