Karnataka: BJP MLA wants Health Minister Sudhakar to apologise for his remarks over Buddhism
Mysuru: BJP MLA from Nanjanagudu assembly constituency, Harshvardhan on Friday called on the Karnataka Health Minister Dr. Sudhakar to apologise for his remarks on Buddhism.
Speaking to reporters, Harshvardhan said, “If he wants to know the history of Buddhism, he should read about the Ashoka Kingdom and should not speak reprehensively.”
“If the opposition leaders raise the issue in the assembly, I will join them and seek the minister’s apology over his remarks,” he further added.
“Buddhism is a great religion, by virtue of its own. It is for this reason that Baba Saheb Ambedkar studied Buddhism, Muslim, and Christianity, and accepted Buddhism. The Ashoka Chakra in our national flag, the three lions in our national emblem are inspired from Buddhism. It has a long history, and is spread all over the world,” he stated.

40 Palestinians killed in Gaza as Netanyahu, Trump meet over ceasefire
Deir al-Balah (Gaza Strip), Jul 9 (AP): At least 40 Palestinians were killed in Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip, hospital officials said Wednesday, as international mediators raced to complete a ceasefire deal.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had a second meeting in two days with US President Donald Trump at the White House on Tuesday evening. Trump has been pushing for a ceasefire that might lead to an end to the 21-month war in Gaza. Israel and Hamas are considering a new US-backed ceasefire proposal that would pause the war, free Israeli hostages and send much-needed aid into Gaza.
Nasser Hospital in the southern city of Khan Younis said the dead included included 17 women and 10 children. It said one strike killed 10 people from the same family, including three children.
The Israeli military did not comment on specific strikes, but said it had struck more than 100 targets across Gaza over the past day, including Hamas members, booby-trapped structures, weapons storage facilities, missile launchers and tunnels. Israel accuses Hamas of hiding weapons and fighters among civilians.
