Karnataka minister offers to “wear suicide bomb” for country
Bengaluru : Amid post-Pahalgam tensions, the Karnataka Minister for Housing, Waqf, and Minority Affairs, B Z Zameer Ahmed Khan, made a statement on Friday, declaring that he is willing to “wear a suicide bomb and go to Pakistan” if the nation needs him.
Addressing the media, the Congress leader asserted his patriotism and expressed his readiness to serve on the front lines. He said, clenching his fists, “We are Indians, we are Hindustani, there is no connection between us and Pakistan. If needed, I will go to war. If the country wants, let Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah give me a suicide bomb, I will wear it and go to Pakistan.”
His remarks came after his party colleague and Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah was criticized for his statement against war. Advocating for peace, strong internal security, and questioning security lapses in Jammu and Kashmir, Siddaramaiah had said, “There is no necessity to wage war against Pakistan.”
The CM clarified his stance after backlash from political opponents and coverage in Pakistani media, saying, “War should be the last resort, only when all other options have failed. The Centre’s diplomatic steps, including the reconsideration of the Indus Waters Treaty, are welcome, and we expect more stringent actions.”

Five teachers suspended for facilitating mass copying during Class 12 exam in Beed
Beed (PTI): Five teachers, who were caught allegedly facilitating large-scale copying during an HSC (Class 12) examination paper at a centre in Maharashtra's Beed district, have been suspended, an official said on Tuesday.
The police had registered a first information report (FIR) against 17 teachers after a drone camera exposed large-scale copying on February 10, the first day of the Class 12 exams conducted by the Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education, at Centre 224 in Chousala.
Drone-mounted surveillance cameras deployed by the authorities captured supervisors in 16 examination halls, not only failing to prevent copying but also allegedly helping students cheat openly.
The official said five teachers from Bhalchandra Vidyalaya in Limbaganesh have been suspended in connection with the malpractice, and 12 from three other schools and junior colleges are under investigation and may face suspension as the probe widens.
After learning about the February 10 incident, Beed Collector Vivek Johnson ordered strict action against those responsible for the lapse.
Accordingly, an FIR was registered against 17 teachers, including the chief conductor of the exam centre, at Neknoor police station and charges under the Maharashtra Universities, Boards and Other Specified Examinations (Prevention of Malpractices) Act and Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita were invoked.
The Education Department subsequently directed the concerned institutions to suspend the implicated staff.
