Book Congress leaders for disrespecting Governor: Govind Karjol
Bengaluru: MLA Govind Karjol stated that a Congress MLC Ivan D'Souza must be booked under the goonda act for speaking against the Governor. He urged for strict action against other Congress representatives for disrespecting state head during recent protests. He was speaking to media persons after lodging a complaint at the DGP office at Nrupatunga Road on Tuesday.
Accusing the Congress of misusing power to disrespect the Governor in a 'politically motivated protest', Karjol alleged that the protesters had beaten the Governor's photo with slippers and verbally abused him. "MLC Ivan D'Souza spoke against the Governor in a threatening tone. He said that a situation like Bangladesh would come to Karnataka too and spoke of barging into the Raj Bhavan to drive away the Governor. I suspect Ivan D'Souza of having links with Pak terrorists. I condemn his statement", he said.

Niqab incident: Nitish Kumar perhaps revealing his true colours, says J-K CM
Srinagar (PTI): Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday criticised his Bihar counterpart over the niqab incident and said that Nitish Kumar might be slowly revealing his true nature.
"Nitish Kumar, who was once considered a secular leader, may be slowly showing his true colours," Abdullah told reporters here on the sidelines of a function.
Abdullah said Kumar removing the face veil of a Muslim woman doctor was wrong and cannot be justified by any means.
"We have seen this kind of incident here several years ago. Have you forgotten how Mehbooba Mufti removed the burqa of a legitimate voter inside a polling station? That act was wrong, and this act (of Kumar) is also wrong.
"If the (Bihar) chief minister did not want to hand over the order to her (Muslim woman), they could have kept her aside. However, to humiliate her like this is totally wrong," the Jammu and Kashmir chief minister said.
Kumar stirred a huge controversy after he removed the face veil of a Muslim woman at a function earlier this week.
