Bengaluru: A delegation of the Karnataka State Nomadic and Tribals Mahasabha (KSNTM), led by its president B.L. Hanumanthappa, has urged Justice H. Nagmohan Das, who heads the commission to review the implementation of internal reservation for Scheduled Castes (SCs).

The delegation requested the commission to consider the recommendations made by the Balkrishna Renuke Commission (2004) for nomadic tribes and the Bhiku Ramji Idate Commission that was formed in 2014, to compile a catalogue of denotified, nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes, as reported by Deccan Herald on Friday.

Hanumanthappa stressed that the KSNTM has demanded the Justice Nagmohan Das Commission to allocate at least 3 percent reservation specifically for nomadic tribes in the state.

He told DH that these commissions were formed by the union government to know about the status of nomadic tribes. “They have made elaborate recommendations,” he added.

Mumbai, Apr 3 (PTI): Maharashtra minister and BJP leader Nitesh Rane on Thursday said his party wants to turn Pakistan into a "Hindu Rashtra".

Rane, who is fisheries and ports development minister, made the statement on social media platform X.

In the post, he said Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut alleged that Union Home Minister Amit Shah wants to make India a "Hindu Pakistan".

"But we want to turn Pakistan into a Hindu Rashtra. Keep this in mind and stay within your limits," Rane said.

The minister was apparently referring to Raut's recent weekly column written in Sena (UBT) mouthpiece 'Saamana', in which he accused the BJP of spreading communal hatred and pushing India towards becoming a "Hindu Pakistan".

Rane recently demanded removal of the tomb of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb from Khultabad town in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar district. Earlier, he had called Kerala a 'Mini Pakistan'.
