HC Mahadevappa, UT Khader demand BJP's apology for blowing Paresh Mesta case out of proportion
Bengaluru: Former minister Dr. H C Mahadevappa has criticized the BJP for its silence following the CBI report that Uttara Kannada youth Paresh Mestra’s death was accidental and not the outcome of any communal hatred.
Sangh Parivar activists and even BJP leaders Shobha Karandlaje and MP Anant Kumar Hegde had claimed that Paresh’s death in 2017 was a result of communal hatred and staged a protest, demanding that the CBI investigate the incident. The CBI has now submitted a report to Honnavar Court that Mesta’s death was accidental, and not a murder.
Following the submission of the CBI report, Mahadevappa tweeted, “BJP members had created a ruckus on media, calling Mesta’s death as an attack on and murder of Hindus. Why are they silent now?”
He stated, “There have also been reports that a murder suspect in the Mesta death case was given a job with the government. This news, however, puts the CBI report on the death under the line of suspicion.”
He also demanded that leaders, who use the names of Hindus very freely in politics, like Shobha Karandlaje, Anant Kumar Hegde, C T Ravi, and Nalin Kumar Kateel should publicly apologize to the people for making such a blind and false claim regarding Mesta’s death.
Similarly, Deputy Leader of Opposition in Karnataka Assembly, UT Khader also made a scratching attack on BJP regarding the issue and said added that the case is proof that the party likes to play politics over the deceased.

Death toll from Israeli strikes in northeast Lebanon rises from 8 to 24, Lebanese news agency says
Deir al-Balah, Nov 1: Israeli airstrikes on Friday killed at least 24 people in northeastern Lebanon, the country's news agency said, raising the death toll from eight there.
It was the latest deadly toll in the area since the conflict between Israel and the Lebanese group Hezbollah escalated last month.
Israel's military has said that its operation in Lebanon is targeting Hezbollah's military infrastructure.
Lebanon's state National news Agency reported four airstrikes in different villages across country's northeast, saying rescuers were still searching for survivors in Younine, a town in the Bekaa Valley, from the rubble of a targeted house.
Hussein Haj Hassan, a Lebanese lawmaker representing the region in Baalbek-Hermel region, said that 60,000 people have already fled their homes in the area due to Israeli bombardment.
