No need to learn patriotism from BJP: Kumaraswamy
Bengaluru: Pro-Pakistan slogans raised by a woman Amulya is condemnable. Organizers should be cautious about people belonging to that category, suggested JDS legislative party leader HD Kumaraswamy.
Speaking to presspersons in Ramanagara on Friday, he said that the country was important today. As Indians, it is our duty to pay respect to our country. Whether she did it deliberately or did it for publicity. Whether she is aware of it or not, I do not know.
Our party activist Imran was also responsible for organizing the event. Mike was snatched from her hands as soon as she shouted the slogans. It makes clear that this was not a deliberate attempt by the organizers.
We do not have to learn patriotism lesson from BJP," he noted.
The right given by the Constitution, the aspirations of the Constitution and the country cannot be dismantled by anyone.
There is no need to divert attention only because a mischievous slogan, Kumaraswamy criticized.

Vijay calls on TN Governor, stakes claim to form govt
Chennai (PTI): TVK chief Vijay on Wednesday met Tamil Nadu Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar and staked claim to form the government in the state, two days after his party emerged as the single largest party but was short of a simple majority.
The TVK founder met the Governor at 3.15 pm following an invitation from the Lok Bhavan. He was accompanied by party leaders, including "Bussy" N Anand, Aadhav Arjuna, K A Sengottaiyan, C T Nirmal Kumar and others during the meeting.
Vijay met the Governor hours after the Congress party declared support and following a meeting between the TVK chief and Congress leaders here. While the TVK appears keen on securing support from the VCK and the two Left parties, who continue to be part of the DMK-led alliance, they have so far not given any positive signals.
The TVK won 108 seats in the 234-member strong Tamil Nadu Assembly in the recently held elections. 118 is the majority mark to form the government.
Vijay is likely to take oath as Chief Minister on May 7, according to party sources.
The DMK won 59, AIADMK 47, Congress 5, PMK 4, IUML 2, CPI 2, VCK 2, CPI-M 2. BJP, DMDK and AMMK won 1 seat each.
