BJP has no role in Gauri Lankesh murder: Jagadish Shettar
Hubballi, June 14: Categorically declining the role of BJP in the murder of journalist Gauri Lankesh, former chief minister and BJP leader Jagadish Shettar said that the culprits in the case should be punished.
Speaking to reporters here on Thursday, Shettar said that the SIT has arrested some of the accused in related to Gauri Lankesh murder and interrogating them. But the investigating officers should find out the real culprits. Whoever it may be, those who committed crime should be punished, he said.
Both Veerashaiva and Lingayat are one and the same. Then where is the question of separate religion. The people have sent those who fought for separate Lingayat religion tag to home in the Assembly election. Now, they have been saying that they would fight legally for the separate religion tag. Before the election, they should have fought legally. But the people have not believed about the separate religion tag in election. Now, they have no option to go before the people. So, they have planned to take legal fight, Shettar criticised.

Salman Khan demands apology from ANI for alleged defamatory article
Mumbai: Bollywood actor Salman Khan has filed a legal notice demanding an apology from Asian News International (ANI) for an alleged defamatory article.. The article, published on September 4, 2024, includes comments from Amit Mishra, the lawyer representing Vicky Gupta and Sagar Pal—two individuals accused in the firing incident outside Khan’s residence.
The article reportedly suggests that Gupta and Pal have been threatened by members of the underworld, specifically mentioning connections to gangster Dawood Ibrahim’s D-Company, and add that Khan has “known links” with a gangster and perhaps want to get Pal and Gupta killed, as reported by Live Law on Thursday.
Khan's legal team has contended that these allegations are “absolutely false,” "misguided," and "misconceived," asserting that the actor is a victim of the criminal act that was perpetrated upon him by certain individuals. The notice emphasised that the allegations were made with an intent to tarnish Khan’s image and reputation.
The notice highlighted that the allegations made in the published article constitute both a criminal offence under Section 356 (defamation) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and is also a civil act of tortuous wrong defamation, Live Law added.
Khan has requested an unconditional apology from ANI and Mishra within 48 hours and has called for the removal of the article from the agency’s website.
