Bengaluru (PTI): Amid speculations of a leadership change in Karnataka, state Home Minister G Parameshwara on Thursday said the party high command is observing everything and will take a decision when the time comes.

Responding to a question about the "drama" surrounding a possible change in leadership and the public statements made by some party leaders and MLAs, Parameshwara acknowledged that a drama is indeed unfolding, but said he does not wish to "open another drama company" by adding to it with his comments.

"As you (media persons) said, a drama is going on. Repeated discussions and statements on this (leadership change issue) should not happen. There is no problem in the administration—it is running smoothly, and the Chief Minister (Siddaramaiah) is effectively handling it. I don't want to open another drama company (by making statements)," the senior Congress leader said.

Speaking to reporters, he reiterated that the party high command is monitoring the situation and will take decisions when necessary.

When asked whether the time for such a decision has arrived, the former KPCC president declined to comment on whether the moment is now, tomorrow, or in the past.

"The high command knows what needs to be done," he added.

On repeated remarks about a leadership change, Parameshwara said the party president will handle the matter appropriately.

Prayagraj (PTI): The Allahabad High Court on Friday rejected the contempt application filed against Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati and and his disciple Mukundanand Brahmachari, seeking punitive action over alleged disobedience of court order.

Ashutosh Brahmachari Maharaj had filed the petition alleging violation of court order passed while granting anticipatory bail to Avimukteshwaranand in a POCSO case registered at Prayagraj.

Rejecting the application, Justice Dinesh Pathak observed that the applicant could file for cancellation of anticipatory bail granted by the court, if he is violating bail conditions.

In the contempt application it was alleged that inspite of the order of high court, Avimukteshwaranand is holding several meetings and is making statements in violation of high court order.

Earlier, Justice Rohit Ranjan Agarwal had recused himself from hearing the contempt petition saying that he does not want to hear the matter. After this, the chief justice nominated Justice Pathak to hear the matter.
