Bengaluru: A video featuring Puneeth Kerehalli, who was recently granted bail after being accused of the murder of Idris Pasha in Kanakapura taluk, Ramanagara district, has gone viral on social media. In the video, Kerehalli issues a warning on behalf of the cow (gomatha) to Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah regarding the compensation provided to Pasha's family, who was lynched by cow vigilantes.

Puneeth Kerehalli shared the video on his Facebook page, expressing his concerns. He questioned the basis on which the Congress government, led by Siddaramaiah, granted Rs 25 lakh as compensation to a man who was allegedly involved in transporting cattle for slaughter. Kerehalli also accused the government of suppressing the Hindu community, which constitutes a majority in the state, and insulting individuals like him who protect cows. He raised the question of whether the government is promoting illegal transportation of cattle and murder.

Vijayapura: Vijayapura MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal has denied making any derogatory statement about Prophet Muhammad, clarifying that there was a misstatement during his speech at a Ram Navami event in Hubballi. "I did not speak about Prophet Muhammad. I meant to refer to Muhammad Ali Jinnah, but there was a mistake in the speed of speech," he said addressing reporters on Monday.

He alleged that members of the Congress, frustrated by their hooliganism and failure to collect their hafta (extortion) in Vijayapura are using the Prophet as an excuse to speak against me. “There is no culture of denigrating another religion in Hinduism. Our gurus and elders have not taught us that,” he said.

Responding to another controversy involving an audio clip in which he was allegedly threatened, Yatnal said the police are investigating the matter and that those behind it will soon be exposed. “No one can finish me. The Hindus of Karnataka are with me. If someone tries to finish me, the whole state will rise in protest,” he warned.
