Former BJP MLA Goolihatti Shekar dares party leaders to release CCTV footage of his museum visit
Bengaluru: Former BJP legislator Goolihatti Shekar, who made headlines by alleging that he was denied entry into the RSS museum in Nagpur on the basis of being a Dalit, has released a second audio clip challenging party leaders to produce CCTV footage from the museum.
In the audio clip, which has gone viral and is also featured as his WhatsApp status, Shekar challenges BJP leaders, including R Ashok, Suresh Kumar, and former MLA Kudachi Rajiv, to release the CCTV recordings from the Hegdewar Memorial Museum of the RSS in Nagpur.
In the earlier audio clip addressed to BJP National General Secretary BL Santhosh, Shekar claimed that during his visit to the museum with two others, he was asked about his caste by a museum staff member. Subsequently, he was allegedly informed that individuals from Scheduled Castes were not allowed inside the museum. RSS denied these allegations, leading Shekar to issue a second audio clip.
In the latest audio clip, Shekar challenges party leaders to release the CCTV footage, stating, "Release a video clip of the CCTV camera recordings from the Hegdewar Memorial Museum of the RSS in Nagpur to prove my allegations false. If proven false, I will become your slave and work at your house, taking your orders."

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.
