New law for Jawans: Deputy CM Parameshwar
Kargil Vijay Diwas Celebration
Bengaluru, July 26: Deputy Chief Minister Dr. G. Parameshwar has said that the government is trying to bring in a new law so that the families of martyred and retired jawans can get all their funds and facilities within three months.
The deputy chief minister said this after paying a rich tribute to the martyred jawans at the The National Military Memorial Park during the celebration of Kargil Vijay Diwas.
“More than 500 jawans were martyred in the 1999’s Kargil war. Their service and sacrifice are Commemorative. We celebrate this day to commemorate them. Many jawans survived in the Kargil war. I salute them too. Martyrs are ideal for today's younger generation,” he added.
Those jawans who are securing borders have dedicated their lives to this country. The process of giving compensation to them should not be delayed. That is why the Army Welfare Board was opened. Even then there is an allegation of delay in the process. So we are going to bring a new law. A law will be made so that the families of martyred and retired jawans can get all their funds and facilities within three months.
Responding to the BJP’s Ramanagar-to-Bengaluru Padayatra, he said the BJP has no moral right to take out such yatra. Instead of the yatra, they must go to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and ask for farmers’ loan waiver if they have concerns towards farmers’ problems. Manmohan Singh had waived off Rs 72,000 crore loans. Let the central government do the same. Let them take its credit also.
There is no attempt to ban media’s entry into Vidhana Soudha. There is an increase in the movements of unnecessary persons in the Vidhana Soudha. Besides, the police department has advised that it is better to cut off the movements of unnecessary persons in the Vidhana Soudha for security purpose. "We have discussed this issue," he said.

Kerala-born entrepreneur linked to Lebanon pager blasts, Bulgarian agency clears him of involvement
Wayanad: Rinson Jose, a Kerala-born entrepreneur and Norwegian citizen, has been linked to the investigation into the recent pager explosions in Lebanon that resulted in at least 20 fatalities and thousands of injuries.
Jose, 37, is the owner of Bulgaria-based Norta Global Limited and is suspected of being involved in the supply chain for the pagers used in the attacks on September 17, 2024.
“Although on paper it was BAC Consulting that signed the contract with Gold Apollo, Norta Global was actually the one behind the deal,” Telex, a Hungarian media outlet quoted sources as saying.
Reports suggest that Jose has gone missing since the attacks.
However, an investigation by Bulgaria's security agency, SANS, has cleared Jose and his company of any direct involvement, stating that no shipments related to the pagers passed through Bulgaria.
“Following verifications, it has been indisputably established that no communication equipment corresponding to those that exploded on September 17 was imported, exported or manufactured in Bulgaria,” the agency was quoted as saying by AFP. It added that the company and its owner had not carried out any transactions linked to the sale or purchase of the merchandise or that “falls under laws on terrorism financing".
