Sex Scandal: Looks like a conspiracy, a case of honey trap: JD(S)
Bengaluru, Mar 27: The alleged sex scandal involving former Minister Ramesh Jarkiholi was turning out be a case of "honey trap", JD(S) said on Saturday, as it urged police to conduct an impartial probe to ascertain the truth, without succembing to any political pressure.
The party, in a series of tweets, said the the sex scandal episode has put Karnataka to shame before the nation.
What initially looked like a sex scandal and sexual exploitation now seems like a conspiracy.
The name of D K Shivakumar (Congress leader) has figured, making it look like a case of honey-trap.
In all this, Karnataka is being put to shame before the nation," the regional party, headed by former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda, said.
Noting the release of back to back audio and video clippings, the party said there seemed to be a big group involved in the entire episode.
Under the guise of providing justice to the victim, it was becoming clearer that someone is using her to play a game.
It would be a 'huge insult' to Karnataka and its police force if the case is allowed 'to just be by itself, making it an entertainment for the country," JD(S) said and called on police to bring out the truth without succumbing to any political pressure.
"The question whether this is sexual exploitation, a conspiracy or a honey-trap is troubling the citizens.
Without distinguishing between ruling and opposition parties, police should find the truth.
The state police is known for its sense of duty, and the time has come to prove it once again, it added.
ಆರಂಭದಲ್ಲಿ ಲೈಂಗಿಕ ಹಗರಣ, ಲೈಂಗಿಕ ಶೋಷಣೆಯಂತೆ ಕಾಣುತ್ತಿದ್ದ ಸಿ.ಡಿ ಹಗರಣ ಈಗ ಷಡ್ಯಂತ್ರದಂತೆ ಕಾಣುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಪ್ರಕರಣದಲ್ಲಿ @DKShivakumar ಮತ್ತು @siddaramaiah ಹೆಸರು ಕೇಳಿಬರುವ ಮೂಲಕ ಪ್ರಕರಣ ಈಗ 'ಹನಿಟ್ರ್ಯಾಪ್' ಸ್ವರೂಪ ಪಡೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಇದೆಲ್ಲದರ ನಡುವೆ ರಾಷ್ಟ್ರದ ಎದುರು ನಾಚಿಕೆ ಪಡುವ ಸ್ಥಿತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ರಾಜ್ಯ ನಿಂತಿದೆ.

ರಾತ್ರಿ ಒಂದು ಆಡಿಯೊ ಬಿಡುಗಡೆಯಾಗುವುದು, ಬೆಳಗ್ಗೆ ಅದಕ್ಕೊಂದು ಸ್ಪಷ್ಟನೆಯ ವಿಡಿಯೊ ಬಿಡುಗಡೆಯಾಗುವುದು... ಇವೆಲ್ಲವನ್ನೂ ಗಮನಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದರೆ ಇದರ ಹಿಂದೆ ದೊಡ್ಡ ಕೂಟವೇ ಕೆಲಸ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಿರುವಂತೆ ಕಾಣುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಸಂತ್ರಸ್ತೆಗೆ ನ್ಯಾಯ ಕೊಡಿಸುವ ನೆಪದಲ್ಲಿ, ಆಕೆಯನ್ನು ಮುಂದಿಟ್ಟುಕೊಂಡು ಯಾರೋ ಆಟವಾಡುತ್ತಿರುವುದು ಸ್ಪಷ್ಟವಾಗುತ್ತಲಿದೆ.

ಪ್ರಕರಣವನ್ನು ಅದರಪಾಡಿಗೆ ಬಿಟ್ಟು, ಆಗುವ ಬೆಳವಣಿಗೆಯನ್ನು ರಾಷ್ಟ್ರ ನೋಡಿ ಮನರಂಜನೆ ಪಡೆಯುವಂತೆ ಮಾಡುವುದು ರಾಜ್ಯಕ್ಕೆ, ನಮ್ಮ ಪೊಲೀಸರಿಗೆ ಮಾಡುವ ಅತಿ ದೊಡ್ಡ ಅಪಮಾನವಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಈ ಸಂದರ್ಭದಲ್ಲಿ ಪೊಲೀಸರು ದಿಟ್ಟತನ ಮೆರೆಯುವುದು ಅತ್ಯಗತ್ಯ. ಯಾವುದೇ ರಾಜಕೀಯ ಒತ್ತಡಗಳನ್ನೂ ಲೆಕ್ಕಿಸದೇ ತನಿಖೆ ನಡೆಸಿ ಅಸಲಿ ಸತ್ಯ ಬಯಲಿಗೆಳೆಯಬೇಕು.

ಲೈಂಗಿಕ ಶೋಷಣೆಯೋ, ಷಡ್ಯಂತ್ರವೋ, ಹನಿಟ್ರ್ಯಾಪ್ ಆಗಿದೆಯೋ ಎಂಬ ಪ್ರಶ್ನೆಗಳು ಸಾರ್ವಜನಿಕರನ್ನು ಕಾಡುತ್ತಿವೆ. ಆಡಳಿತ ಪಕ್ಷ, ವಿರೋಧ ಪಕ್ಷ ಎಂಬುದನ್ನು ಲೆಕ್ಕಿಸದೇ ಅಸಲಿ ಸಂಗತಿಯನ್ನು ಪೊಲೀಸರು ಹೊರ ತರಬೇಕು. ರಾಜ್ಯದ ಪೊಲೀಸರ ಕರ್ತವ್ಯ ನಿಷ್ಠೆಗೆ ರಾಷ್ಟ್ರ ಮಟ್ಟದಲ್ಲಿ ಹೆಸರಿದೆ. ಅದರ ಪ್ರದರ್ಶನಕ್ಕೆ ಮತ್ತೊಮ್ಮೆ ಅವಕಾಶ ಸಿಕ್ಕಿದೆ.

ಲೈಂಗಿಕ ಪ್ರಕರಣವೊಂದರ ವರದಿಗಳು ನಿತ್ಯ ಪ್ರಕಟವಾಗುತ್ತಿದ್ದರೆ, ಅದರಿಂದ ಕುಟುಂಬಗಳು ಮತ್ತು ಮಕ್ಕಳ ಮೇಲೆ ಆಗುವ ಪರಿಣಾಮಗಳನ್ನು ನಾವು ಚಿಂತಿಸಬೇಕಿದೆ. ಇದಕ್ಕೆ ಅಂತ್ಯ ಹಾಡಬೇಕಿದ್ದರೆ ಸೂಕ್ತ ತನಿಖೆಯೊಂದೇ ದಾರಿ. ಇಲ್ಲವಾದರೆ, ಈ ಪ್ರಕರಣದ ಬೆಳವಣಿಗೆಗಳು ಮತ್ತಷ್ಟು ವಿಸ್ತಾರವಾಗುತ್ತ ನಾಗರಿಕ ಸಮಾಜ ನಾಚಿಕೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ದಿನ ಕಳೆಯಬೇಕಾಗುತ್ತದೆ.

Inappropriate for MLAs seeking free IPL tickets, says D.K. Suresh
Bengaluru: Bengaluru Milk Union Ltd President D.K. Suresh on Monday said it is inappropriate for MLAs to seek free IPL tickets, adding that those interested in watching matches should pay for them personally.
Speaking to reporters near his residence in Sadashivanagar, he said, “IPL is a commercial tournament and does not represent the country. It is not right for public representatives to focus too much on such matters.”
Referring to the recent controversy during the RCB celebrations, he said, “let us find out who benefited the most from the statements made during the incident.” He also pointed out that BJP MLAs had received IPL tickets as well.
Responding to discussions about relocating the Chinnaswamy Stadium, Suresh said the government has already approved the construction of a new stadium at a location he had proposed.
“I had suggested building a stadium in Surya City and submitted a proposal for it. Bengaluru needs four stadiums in four directions to cater to its growing population and encourage youth participation in sports,” he said.
He noted that apart from Kanteerava Stadium, KSCA, and the Football Stadium, there are limited facilities in the city.
“When I was a Lok Sabha member, I had proposed allocating 100 acres in my constituency at Surya City. The land was later earmarked and the plan approved,” he added.
Suresh said he has discussed the project with Minister Zameer Ahmed Khan, Rajiv Gandhi Housing Corporation Chairman Shivalingegowda, and Anekal MLA Shivanna.
“The Cabinet has now approved the project, and a stadium will be developed on around 50–60 acres,” he said.
He further added that he has requested the Deputy Chief Minister to build another stadium at Shivarama Karanth Layout through the BDA, where 40 acres have been allocated. Plans are also being discussed to develop a well-equipped stadium in Bidadi.
Commending state government's recent bilingual policy move, Suresh said forcing children to learn three languages could affect their comprehension.
“It is a good decision to make two languages compulsory. Learning a third language should be left to the choice of students and parents,” he said.
Responding to criticism from BJP leaders, he said their tendency is to oppose every decision of the government.
“To please their central leadership, they take a pro-Hindi stance. Instead, they should advocate for the adoption of Kannada in all states,” he said.
When asked about the earlier three-language policy under Congress, he said, “the situation is different now. Today, the focus should be on quality learning. Kannada should remain the primary language, while students and parents can choose an additional language.”
