Karnataka BJP to launch helpline for its workers to protect them from 'Congress atrocities
Bengaluru: In a bid to safeguard its workers from alleged atrocities by the Congress party in Karnataka, the state unit of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) announced on Sunday that it will launch a 24/7 helpline number. Additionally, the party plans to train a dedicated team, with the assistance of a legal cell, to manage and address issues raised through the helpline.
Tejasvi Surya, the Member of Parliament from Bengaluru South and BJP youth cell chief, highlighted the targeting of BJP workers during the Congress-led government under Siddaramaiah in Karnataka. He stated, "Many BJP workers have been subjected to false charges. To combat such injustices against our party workers, the BJP has decided to introduce a helpline number for all party workers in the state." Surya emphasized that the party is well-equipped with lawyers and activists throughout Karnataka, ready to legally fight any false cases. He further added, "Any BJP worker who faces the atrocities of Congress can dial the helpline number for assistance and protection. We will launch the toll-free number within the next week."
In response to the BJP's initiative, Karnataka Minister MB Patil appealed to the Chief Minister and Home Minister to consider establishing another helpline called 'Peaceful Karnataka.' Patil took to Twitter and expressed, "To ensure there is no spread of hatred in Karnataka and to monitor any such incidents, I request @DrParameshwara @PriyankKharge @DKShivakumar @CMofKarnataka to consider setting up a new helpline called 'Peaceful Karnataka.' Our agenda is solely focused on development, progress, and protecting the reputation of 'Brand Karnataka.'"

Stop atrocities on Hindus immediately, release ISKCON monk from jail: RSS to Bangladesh interim govt
New Delhi (PTI): The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) on Saturday appealed to the Bangladesh interim government to ensure the atrocities on the Hindus are stopped and ISKCON monk Chinmoy Krishna Das is released from jail immediately.
RSS general secretary Dattatreya Hosabale in a statement also appealed to the Indian government to continue its efforts to stop the atrocities on the Hindus and other minorities in Bangladesh and take necessary steps to build global opinion in its support "as soon as possible".
"The attacks, murders, looting, arson as well as inhuman atrocities by Islamic fundamentalists on Hindus, women and all other minorities in Bangladesh are extremely worrying and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh condemns this," he said.
Instead of stopping this, the present Bangladesh government and other agencies are only silent spectators, Hosabale said.
"Out of helplessness, a new phase of injustice and atrocities seems to be emerging against the Hindus of Bangladesh to suppress the voice raised by them in a democratic way for self-defense," the RSS general secretary said.
"It is unjust for the Bangladesh government to send ISKCON monk Chinmoy Krishna Das, who is leading the Hindus in such peaceful demonstrations, to jail," he added
Bangladesh Police earlier on Monday arrested International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) monk Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari from the Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport area in Dhaka while he was travelling to Chittagong.
"The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh appeals to the Bangladesh government to ensure that the atrocities on Hindus in Bangladesh stop immediately and release Shri Chinmoy Krishna Das from imprisonment," Hosabale said.
"The RSS also appeals to the Indian government to continue its efforts to stop the atrocities on Hindus and other minorities in Bangladesh and take necessary steps as soon as possible to build global opinion in its support," he added.
At this crucial time, the RSS general secretary said, India and the global community and institutions should stand with the victims of Bangladesh and express their support, and demand that their respective governments make every possible effort to ensure that atrocities on the Hindus and other minorities are stopped in Bangladesh immediately.
This is necessary for world peace and brotherhood, he added.
