Hindu fundamentalists are behind murder of progressive people: Prof
Mysuru, June 13: Progressive thinker Prof Mahesh Chandra Guru alleged that the Hindu fundamentalists have their role in the murder of progressive people.
Speaking to reporters at his residence in the city on Wednesday, Prof Guru said that the central government has indirectly supported the killings of MM Kalburgi, Gauri Lankesh, Dabholkar and Pansare. After NDA took over the regime in the country, progressive writers and thinkers were targeted, he said.
Those who killed Gauri, might have killed Kalburgi, Dabholkar and Pansare. It was the handi-work of Hindu fundamentalists. There could be Pramod Mutalik of Sri Rama Sene or there could be some Hindu organizations which have been propagating Hindutva ideology. Lok Sabha Members Pratap Simha, Shobha Karandlaje, Naleen Kumar Kateel are fools. They might have relationship with the suspected killers of Gauri Lankesh, he said.
He did not apply for police security. But the government itself has given the police security, he said.

Salman Khan demands apology from ANI for alleged defamatory article
Mumbai: Bollywood actor Salman Khan has filed a legal notice demanding an apology from Asian News International (ANI) for an alleged defamatory article.. The article, published on September 4, 2024, includes comments from Amit Mishra, the lawyer representing Vicky Gupta and Sagar Pal—two individuals accused in the firing incident outside Khan’s residence.
The article reportedly suggests that Gupta and Pal have been threatened by members of the underworld, specifically mentioning connections to gangster Dawood Ibrahim’s D-Company, and add that Khan has “known links” with a gangster and perhaps want to get Pal and Gupta killed, as reported by Live Law on Thursday.
Khan's legal team has contended that these allegations are “absolutely false,” "misguided," and "misconceived," asserting that the actor is a victim of the criminal act that was perpetrated upon him by certain individuals. The notice emphasised that the allegations were made with an intent to tarnish Khan’s image and reputation.
The notice highlighted that the allegations made in the published article constitute both a criminal offence under Section 356 (defamation) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and is also a civil act of tortuous wrong defamation, Live Law added.
Khan has requested an unconditional apology from ANI and Mishra within 48 hours and has called for the removal of the article from the agency’s website.
