Sanatan Sanstha will be banned if its involvement in Gauri murder case proved: DCM
Bengaluru, August 31: The Gauri Lankesh Trust led by freedom fighter HS Doreswamy urged Deputy Chief Minister Dr G Parameshwar to ban Sanatan Samsta and withdraw the cases booked against Jignesh Mevani and Prakash Rai.
Trust members who met the DCM at the Vidhana Soudha here on Friday, said that cases were filed against Jignesh Mevani and Prakash Rai under Election Code of Conduct for participating and speaking at a campaign against communal forces during last Assembly election. Those cases should be withdrawn immediately, they demanded.
Later, Parameshwar told reporters that the trust members have asked him to ban the Sanatan Sanstha. The government would take a decision if the Sanatan Samsta’s involvement in the Gauri murder case was proved in the investigation, he said.
Doreswamy hailed the efforts of the government in arresting the accused in the case. Trust would conduct a meeting on September 5 to mark Gauri’s death anniversary and sought protection to the meeting. People from all over the country would participate in the programme. So, the government would give protection to the programme, he said.
Former minister BT Lalitha Nayak, chief minister’s former media advisor Dinesh Amin Mattu and others were present.

India has agreed already to drop its tariffs to nothing: President Trump
New York/Washington, May 7 (PTI): US President Donald Trump on Tuesday said India has “agreed” to drop its high tariffs “to nothing”.
“I mean, India as an example, has one of the highest tariffs in the world. We’re not going to put up with that, and they’ve agreed already to drop it. They’ll drop it to nothing. They’ve already agreed. They would have never done that for anybody else but me,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.
Trump and visiting Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney spoke to reporters as they met in the Oval Office to discuss the US-Canada trade.
“So we’re going to put down some numbers and we’re going to say our country is open for business and they’re going to come in and they’re going to pay for the privilege of being able to shop in the United States of America. It’s very simple. It’s very simple,” he added.
In the past, Trump has called India “tariff king” and a “big abuser”.
Last month, Trump had said that negotiations with India over a bilateral trade deal are “coming along great” and he thinks “we’ll have a deal with India”.
