BJP leader’s threat to shoot down Priyank Kharge: Congress expresses ire on social media
Bengaluru: The Congress in Karnataka has responded sharply to a threat by Manikanta Rathod, BJP leader in Kalaburagi district, to shoot KPCC leader and MLA from Chittapur Priyank Kharge.
Posting its response on social media on Saturday, the Congress said, “BJP members are descendents of the terrorist Godse and display the same mentality and culture as Taliban. They earlier hit Siddaramaiah with eggs, now they are threatening to shoot Priyank Kharge.”
The party asked, “Why would the Congress, which fought boldly against the British fear cowards like the BJP, who are no different from the ISIS terrorists?”
Recently, Kharge had criticized the BJP activists for putting up posters in Chittapur saying, ‘Priyank Kharge Missing’. He had said that if he and the Congress activists decided, they would not let the BJP leaders get on the streets. The Congress party members in Kalaburagi are still alive.”
Rathod had countered with the words that he and the party activists were willing to shoot down Priyank Kharge.

SC notice to Punjab govt on contempt plea over non-compliance with order on medical aid to Dallewal
New Delhi (PTI): The Supreme Court on Friday expressed concern over the life and safety of farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal, who is on an indefinite hunger strike, and directed the Punjab government to take all measures to ensure that he was given medical aid.
A vacation bench of Justice Surya Kant and Justice Sudhanshu Dhulia issued a notice to the Punjab government on a contempt petition against its chief secretary for non-compliance with a top court order regarding medical aid to Dallewal.
"If there is a law and order situation, you have to deal with it with iron hands. Somebody's life is at stake. You need to take it seriously. Medical aid has to be given and the impression is that you are not following it," the bench said.
The apex court directed the state government to file a compliance report by Saturday, when it would again hear the matter.
Dallewal has been on an indefinite fast at the Khanauri border point since November 26 to press the Centre to accept the farmers' demands, including a legal guarantee of minimum support price for crops.
