BJP is politicizing separate state issue: DCM Parameshwar
Bengaluru, August 02: Deputy Chief Minister Dr. G Parameshwar said that though the Congress-JDS coalition government was committed to develop the north Karnataka, BJP leaders have been politicizing the separate state issue.
Speaking to reporters at the Vidhana Soudha here on Thursday, the DCM said that “ours is a united Karnataka. No one should speak of dividing the state. But the BJP leaders have been politicizing the issue”, he said.
“All previous governments have contributed for the development of the north Karnataka. This government would not do anything wrong to that region. There was a lot of development from the funds released during the SM Krishna government. This government is also continuing those works. Ours is one language, one land and we are all Kannadigas”, he said.
“We have got the information about illegal migrants. Police have been searching them. Though the VISA period of 107 African students was expired, they are residing here only. The government will take steps to send them. Those who do not have authorized documents will be sent back”.

Two arrested in K'taka for assaulting minors, uploading CSAM content
Bengaluru (PTI): Two men were arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting two minor girls, recording the acts on mobile phones and uploading the videos online as child sexual abuse material, police said on Thursday.
The accused have been identified as Kiran Kumar (29), hailing from Chitradurga district, and Aditya M K (20), hailing from Shivamogga district, they said.
A probe was initiated after information was received from the NCRP portal regarding a suspected instance of creation of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) for online dissemination, police said.
Accordingly, a case was registered at Kaggalipura Police Station under relevant sections of the IT Act on May 10, they added.
Investigation revealed that two minor girl victims were exploited and videos were created and uploaded to the internet. The child victims have subsequently recorded their statements as per procedure and further necessary legal steps have been taken, Pronab Mohanty Director General of Police, Cyber Command, said in a statement.
Based on the statements of the victims, the accused persons, who allegedly assaulted the minors, recorded the acts on mobile phones and uploaded the videos online, were arrested, he said.
Following the probe, sections 65(2) (rape) and 70 (gangrape) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, along with relevant sections of the POCSO Act, have been added to the FIR, police said.
Officials collected relevant information and on May 12, arrested the accused persons and seized three mobile phones belonging to them, in which the videos had allegedly been recorded, he said.
The accused were later produced before the court and taken into police custody for further investigation, he added.
According to him, in CSAM cases, police usually apprehend offenders who have downloaded such content or have kept them in their possession after obtaining them from elsewhere, usually the internet.
"The present case is one of the very few instances where content creators and uploaders have been apprehended," Mohanty added.
