Bengaluru: Hindu-Muslim are as similar as children of one mother. KS Eshwarappa should control his words, suggested BJP president BS Yeddyurappa.

Interacting with reporters at a 'Meet the Press' programme organised by Bangalore Reporters' Guild and the Press Club of Bangalore on Friday, BS Yeddyurappa responded to the KS Eshwarappa's controversial statement that BJP has not given a ticket to the Muslim candidate in the state, and it will not give in the future as well because the community doesn't believe in them.

"BJP had given a ministerial berth to a Muslim candidate when it was in power. But in this election, we were not in a position to field a Muslim candidate. If the BJP government comes to power with the blessings of the people, we will make a Muslim candidate as a minister again," Yeddyurappa assured.

New Delhi (PTI): The power bank of a passenger onboard a stationary IndiGo aircraft caught fire at the Chandigarh airport on Tuesday, and all passengers and the crew were evacuated, according to a source.

In a statement, the airline said that when IndiGo flight 6E 108 from Hyderabad to Chandigarh was stationary after landing, an incident involving a customer's personal electronic equipment catching fire was reported.

"In the interest of safety, an immediate evacuation was carried out, and all the relevant authorities were immediately informed. All customers have been safely moved to the terminal and are being attended to by the team to ensure their well-being," the statement said.

The source said that soon after the aircraft landed, there was smoke coming from one of the overhead bins and all onboard were evacuated.

The smoke was due to the power bank catching fire, the source said, adding that no one sustained major injuries.

Details about the number of passengers could not be ascertained.
