Congress party is neglecting Muslims: R. Roshan Baig
Lok Sabha Election
Bengaluru: It was the Congress' tradition to give three tickets to Muslim candidates in the state for the Lok Sabha elections. But this time, the party has given only one ticket, former minister R. Roshan Baig expressed outrage.
Addressing a press conference here on Thursday, he said Congress used to give tickets to Muslim candidates at Gulbarga, Dharwad and Bengaluru districts. Muslims had demanded ticket for Bidar constituency when Gulbarga became a reserved constituency," he said.
"The party kept on denying Muslim candidates by giving illogical reasons. It seems that the Congress is proceeding towards bringing the Muslim leadership to an end," he alleged.
He accused that due to the failure of KPCC president Dinesh Gundurao and senior leader Siddaramaiah's leadership, Muslims had to face this injustice.
Muslim Free Congress: Congress party is constantly neglecting Muslims. If we observe this, a suspicion arises that whether Congress is hatching a conspiracy to make the party free from Muslims," Baig noted.
During the recent convention of AICC president Rahul Gandhi in the city, banners carried the posters of JDS chief Devegowda, CM Kumaraswamy, Siddaramaiah and Dinesh Gundurao. However, there was no photo of Muslim leaders, he added.
I will write a letter to Rahul Gandhi asking why Congress is neglecting Muslims. Also, I will mention about the working style of the Congress' state in-charge KC Venugopal, in the letter. In Tamil Nadu too, Congress used to give One ticket to a Muslim candidate. But, there also no ticket has been issued to the Muslims this time.
No ticket for Christians as well: A ticket was also being given to the Christian community. But this time, Christians have also not given tickets. Following which, former minister J. Alexander has resigned from the Congress. Besides, former MP HT. Sangliana is also tendering his resignation, Roshan Baig informed.

YouTube show row: Comedian Samay Raina records statement with Maharashtra Cyber
Mumbai, Mar 24 (PTI): Maharashtra Cyber on Monday recorded the statement of comedian Samay Raina in a case registered over objectionable remarks on his YouTube show, an official said.
Maharashtra Cyber, a cyber and information security division, is probing the case registered against podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia and others after he triggered a massive uproar with his crass remarks about parents and sex on Raina’s web show “India’s Got Latent”.
The agency had summoned Raina several times to record his statement in connection with the case, the official said.
He said Raina, who recently returned from abroad, appeared before the probe agency at its headquarters in Mhape and recorded his statement.
The comedian reached the office in the afternoon, recorded his statement for more than five hours, and left the premises at 6.45, the official said.
He said the agency had earlier recorded statements of Ranveer Allahbadia, Ashish Chanchlani, Apoorva Makhija and others.
Raina got into trouble after Allahbadia’s remarks on his now-deleted web show “India’s Got Latent” led to a massive furore in February, both online and offline, with multiple police complaints filed against the two and those involved with the show.
