Bengaluru, October 21: MLC and actress Tara said that the #MeToo allegation levelled by actress Shruthi Hariharan against noted actor Arjun Sarja was not acceptable.
"I know what Arjun Sarja is. I have acted with him for a film Premagni. He is a good person. He is a gentle man. Earlier it is not like this. We use to respect relationships. I have acted in various rape scenes. But I have not experienced even a single bad experience. I don't know about Shruthi Hariharan. I have not acted with her. #MeToo is a good campaign. But it should be used in a right way", she said.

Vijayapura: Vijayapura MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal has denied making any derogatory statement about Prophet Muhammad, clarifying that there was a misstatement during his speech at a Ram Navami event in Hubballi. "I did not speak about Prophet Muhammad. I meant to refer to Muhammad Ali Jinnah, but there was a mistake in the speed of speech," he said addressing reporters on Monday.
He alleged that members of the Congress, frustrated by their hooliganism and failure to collect their hafta (extortion) in Vijayapura are using the Prophet as an excuse to speak against me. “There is no culture of denigrating another religion in Hinduism. Our gurus and elders have not taught us that,” he said.
Responding to another controversy involving an audio clip in which he was allegedly threatened, Yatnal said the police are investigating the matter and that those behind it will soon be exposed. “No one can finish me. The Hindus of Karnataka are with me. If someone tries to finish me, the whole state will rise in protest,” he warned.
