I’ll take on Zameer politically: Tanveer Sait
Mysuru, June 20: MLA and former minister Tanveer Sait said that he was ready to fight with Minister Zameer Ahmed Khan either politically or personally, not before the media.
Responding to the statement of Minister Zameer that he would come to NR Constituency and show his strength, here on Wednesday, Tanveer Sait said that he heard the Minister’s statement. One who has decency would not have spoken like that. He was ready to fight with Zameer either politically or personally. But he would not take him before the media, he said.
“He does not have the leadership that our community accepts. In the last election, he has worked for wicket people. Show of strength does not mean that bringing people. Instead, he should win the hearts of the people. There is nothing to show my ego whether I have gone out of my constituency or not. Majority of the Muslim community people were in favour of the Congress. We have asked four ministerial berths for our community. Some communities have asked Deputy Chief Minister post. I don’t know whether they have supported the Congress or not. But Muslims were supporting the Congress. In my opinion, we are not asking posts in one voice. High command has asked me not to embarrass the party and I am following it. I would neither accept the challenge nor reject it. It is left to Zameer to come to the constituency. I have brought this to the notice of the leadership. Those who have come to party recently do not have knowledge about the Congress principle. For this reason, I have opposed him”, he clarified.

Kerala: Court imposes 41-year jail term on man for sexual assault of minor
Kozhikode (Kerala) (PTI): A Kerala court on Wednesday sentenced a man to 41 years in prison for sexually assaulting a minor boy near Valayam in 2021.
Nadapuram Fast Track Special Court judge K Naushad Ali sentenced 64-year-old Panchara Musa, also known as Ganapathiyat Musa, under various provisions of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act and the Indian Penal Code (IPC), according to special public prosecutor Manoj Aroor.
As the sentences are to run concurrently, the convict will have to serve the highest term of 20 years’ imprisonment, SPP Aroor said. The court also imposed a fine of Rs 52,000 on Musa.
The incident took place in August 2021 when the accused allegedly took the 14-year-old boy to a bus stop in Valayam town and sexually assaulted him, the prosecutor said. The accused also gave Rs 50 to the boy, he added.
Following the incident, the boy and his father lodged a complaint at the Valayam police station.
A case under various provisions of the POCSO Act and the IPC was registered, and the accused was subsequently arrested, the SPP said.
The prosecution examined 16 witnesses and submitted 16 documents to substantiate its case against the accused, he added.
