Huballi: The All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) Chief, Asaduddin Owaisi, criticized the Congress party on Tuesday, stating that the party only makes promises during elections but fails to fulfill them later. He cited the example of the Babri Masjid demolition, where the Congress had promised to rebuild the mosque but failed to do so.

When the Babri Masjid was demolished, they resolved to rebuild a mosque there. What happened to that? Before elections, there are a lot of things that are said, but you can see what happens afterward..." said Owaisi.

Owaisi was responding to allegations made by the Congress that he was sent by the BJP to divide Muslim votes in the upcoming elections in Karnataka. The AIMIM chief dismissed these claims, stating that his party was contesting only two seats in the state. Referring to a Urdu saying Owaisi hit at the congress and said -”naach na jaane aangan tedha. That is their case,”

Sirsi (Karnataka), Apr 8 (PTI): The police in Uttar Kannada went into a tizzy on Tuesday after they found fake currency notes of Rs 500 denomination from a house in Dandeli with 'movie shooting purpose only' written on them.

Based on a tip-off, police searched a rented house at Gandhinagar in Dandeli and confiscated the fake currency notes along with a money counting machine.

Arshad Khan, who is said to be from Goa, was staying as a tenant in the house belonging to Noorjan Jhunjuwadkar, police said.

Police were informed after Jhunjuwadkar noticed that Khan was absent from the house for the past one month.

The fake currency notes had the inscription 'Reverse Bank of India' on them, but did not have the signature of the RBI governor, police said.

The notes were printed on a shining paper with only zeros written in the place of the number, and 'movie shooting purpose only' inscribed on them, police said.

A hunt is on to trace Khan to question him about the seizure, they added.
