Ramanagara: In a shocking incident reported from Maharajarakate village here, an Anganwadi helper has been suspended for allegedly subjecting a two-year-old child to mis-treatment by cauterizing his skin and putting chili powder in his diaper, reportedly as a punishment for his stubborn behavior.

The victim, identified as Dixit (2), is the son of Ramesh and Chaitra from Maharajarakate village.

According to reports, the accused Anganwadi helper, identified as Chandramma, was suspended following a police complaint lodged by Dixit’s parents at the Town police station.

The parents noticed signs of distress when they picked up their child from the Anganwadi and, upon discovering the mistreatment, filed a complaint against the helper.

Bengaluru, Mar 22 (PTI): Karnataka BJP president B Y Vijayendra on Saturday urged Speaker U T Khader to withdraw the suspension order of 18 legislators.

The BJP MLAs were suspended for six months from the Assembly on Friday. They protested against the four per cent reservation bill for Muslims in public contracts, and climbed on the podium where the Speaker was in the seat and threw papers on him.

Addressing reporters at the BJP state office, Jagannath Bhavan, Vijayendra said, "We urge the Speaker to revoke the suspension. We also condemn the decision to suspend BJP legislators, which is entirely illegal, unconstitutional, unilateral, and arbitrary."

The Shikaripura MLA stated that the BJP opposes the government’s decision to grant reservations as "an appeasement to minorities."

"We will fight against this bill both inside and outside the House and take it to a logical conclusion," he said.

Vijayendra also announced the launch of a statewide awareness campaign against the bill, minority appeasement, and what he described as "the humiliation of Hindus."
