Dharmasthala case: Kerala government behind anonymous complainant, alleges R. Ashoka
Mysuru: Leader of the Opposition R. Ashoka on Monday claimed that the anonymous complainant in the alleged mass murder case in Dharmasthala is backed by the Kerala government.
Speaking to the media in Mysuru, Ashoka said, “There is an invisible hand behind this, the Kerala government. Someone is deliberately complicating the case. The person making the allegation is a Muslim individual, and the entire background of this case seems to be rooted in Kerala.”
He questioned the connection between Dharmasthala and Kerala, pointing out that the case, whether a suicide or a murder, has already been handed over to a Special Investigation Team (SIT). “I welcome this decision, and even the Dharmasthala authorities have welcomed it. But I fear that tomorrow this so called progressive group will not even accept the SIT’s findings. If the report is in their favour, they’ll accept it, otherwise, they’ll call the investigation flawed,” Ashoka added.
“Let’s wait and watch whether this person will drop a bombshell or just a dud. This entire Dharmasthala episode is being widely discussed in Kerala. The conspiracy behind it will be revealed during the investigation, and I will respond more extensively after that,” he said.

Punishment for those disrupting assembly proceedings, warns Speaker UT Khader
Belagavi: Speaker U.T. Khader on Friday warned that members who disrupt Assembly proceedings by talking in their seats during debates will be made to sit in the House for an entire day as a disciplinary measure.
The warning came after the Question Hour, when Deputy Leader of the Opposition Arvind Bellad was permitted to initiate a discussion on the development of North Karnataka.
At this point, expelled BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal objected, stating that he had been seeking a debate for the past three days but had not been given an opportunity.

Responding to the objection, Speaker Khader said Bellad had already been granted permission and assured Yatnal that he would be allowed to speak at the next opportunity. He noted that even as a serious discussion was underway, several MLAs were speaking among themselves with their microphones on, disrupting the proceedings.
Expressing displeasure over the conduct of members, Khader likened the situation to football, where players receive red, yellow, or white cards for violations. Similarly, he said, the Assembly issues warning cards to members who disturb the House. If they fail to correct themselves despite repeated warnings, they would be required to remain seated in the Assembly hall for a full day as punishment, he stated.
