‘Supreme’ slap on PM Modi: KC Venugopal
Alok Verma reinstated as CBI chief
Bengaluru, Jan 8: AICC Karnataka incharge KC Venugopal said that by reinstating Alok Verma as the CBI chief, the Supreme Court on Tuesday slapped on the face of Prime Minister Narendra Modi who dismissed Verma as the CBI chief overnight.
Speaking to reporters at the KPCC office here on Tuesday, Venugopal said that “We have been discussing the Rafale deal in the Lok Sabha for the last three days. The central government has failed to answer the questions raised by AICC president Rahul Gandhi.
The Defence Minister has said that the centre has given Rs 1 lakh crore to the HAL. Later, she said that it was not one lakh crore. It was just Rs 26,000 crore. She has been giving such statements just to mislead the people.
People knew that HAL chief had said that the public sector unit has reached a position to borrow loan to pay the employees for the first time in two decades. The central government has got Rs 7,000 crore revolving fund from the HAL. Rafale deal was a clear incident of corruption”, he said.
“The Congress has been demanding Joint Parliamentary Committee to investigate the Rafale deal issue. But as to why the BJP which has clear majority, is hesitating to handover the case to the Panel? They might have been worrying about the truth.
People have been questioning the transparency of Prime Minister who has been claiming himself as Sevak.
By neglecting the HAL, the Central government has insulted Karnataka. The Congress would not leave this issue. It would be the major issue in the next Lok Sabha election.
We will take this issue before the people of the state and explain the reality. If the centre has all data about the Rafale Deal, why would it hesitate? Bofors and 2G Spectrum cases were also investigated by the Joint Parliamentary Panel”, he said.

Stop atrocities on Hindus immediately, release ISKCON monk from jail: RSS to Bangladesh interim govt
New Delhi (PTI): The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) on Saturday appealed to the Bangladesh interim government to ensure the atrocities on the Hindus are stopped and ISKCON monk Chinmoy Krishna Das is released from jail immediately.
RSS general secretary Dattatreya Hosabale in a statement also appealed to the Indian government to continue its efforts to stop the atrocities on the Hindus and other minorities in Bangladesh and take necessary steps to build global opinion in its support "as soon as possible".
"The attacks, murders, looting, arson as well as inhuman atrocities by Islamic fundamentalists on Hindus, women and all other minorities in Bangladesh are extremely worrying and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh condemns this," he said.
Instead of stopping this, the present Bangladesh government and other agencies are only silent spectators, Hosabale said.
"Out of helplessness, a new phase of injustice and atrocities seems to be emerging against the Hindus of Bangladesh to suppress the voice raised by them in a democratic way for self-defense," the RSS general secretary said.
"It is unjust for the Bangladesh government to send ISKCON monk Chinmoy Krishna Das, who is leading the Hindus in such peaceful demonstrations, to jail," he added
Bangladesh Police earlier on Monday arrested International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) monk Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari from the Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport area in Dhaka while he was travelling to Chittagong.
"The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh appeals to the Bangladesh government to ensure that the atrocities on Hindus in Bangladesh stop immediately and release Shri Chinmoy Krishna Das from imprisonment," Hosabale said.
"The RSS also appeals to the Indian government to continue its efforts to stop the atrocities on Hindus and other minorities in Bangladesh and take necessary steps as soon as possible to build global opinion in its support," he added.
At this crucial time, the RSS general secretary said, India and the global community and institutions should stand with the victims of Bangladesh and express their support, and demand that their respective governments make every possible effort to ensure that atrocities on the Hindus and other minorities are stopped in Bangladesh immediately.
This is necessary for world peace and brotherhood, he added.
