Rape incident at Gudinabali: CFI, NWF stage protest at Kaikamba
Centre urged to implement ‘self-defence’ scheme for women and children
Bantwala, September 21: Condemning the rape on 8-year-old girl near Gudinabali in the taluk, activists of taluk Campus Front of India and National Women’s Front staged a protest at Kaikamba on BC Road in the taluk on Friday.
NWF district committee member Sumaiah said that the NWF would strongly condemn the rape incident. The number of rape and exploitation of women and children was increasing considerably in the country due to which women and children would not have safety and living under serious insecurity. As the police have been booking petty cases against the rape accused, they were coming on bails very easily and involve in such activities again. So, the state government and the police department should consider such incidents seriously and take stringent actions against the accused. The victim should be compensated properly, she urged.

Punishment for those disrupting assembly proceedings, warns Speaker UT Khader
Belagavi: Speaker U.T. Khader on Friday warned that members who disrupt Assembly proceedings by talking in their seats during debates will be made to sit in the House for an entire day as a disciplinary measure.
The warning came after the Question Hour, when Deputy Leader of the Opposition Arvind Bellad was permitted to initiate a discussion on the development of North Karnataka.
At this point, expelled BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal objected, stating that he had been seeking a debate for the past three days but had not been given an opportunity.

Responding to the objection, Speaker Khader said Bellad had already been granted permission and assured Yatnal that he would be allowed to speak at the next opportunity. He noted that even as a serious discussion was underway, several MLAs were speaking among themselves with their microphones on, disrupting the proceedings.
Expressing displeasure over the conduct of members, Khader likened the situation to football, where players receive red, yellow, or white cards for violations. Similarly, he said, the Assembly issues warning cards to members who disturb the House. If they fail to correct themselves despite repeated warnings, they would be required to remain seated in the Assembly hall for a full day as punishment, he stated.
