Three bills tabled in Karnataka assembly
Bengaluru, Jul 19: The Karnataka government on Friday tabled three bills in the legislative assembly including the Karnataka Legislature (Prevention of Disqualification) (Second Amendment) Bill, 2024.
The Prevention of Disqualification Amendment Bill has been introduced to exempt the office of the political secretary-one and two to the Chief Minister, Office of the Financial Advisor to the CM, Office of the Advisor (Policy and Planning) to the CM and Deputy Chairperson to Karnataka State Policy and Planning Commission from incurring disqualification for being a member of the Karnataka Legislative Assembly or the Member of the Karnataka Legislative Council on such appointment.
The Karnataka Goods and Services Tax (Amendment) Bill aims to create a clear distinction between the input service distribution transactions requiring the transfer of input tax credit related to the invoices for receipt of services on behalf of distinct persons, and the actual supply of services from one distinct person to another, and make it compulsory to distribute the credit.
The bill is meant for enabling the levy of penalty for non-registration of machines used in the manufacture of tobacco products and paan masala.
The objective of the Karnataka Cine and Cultural Activists (Welfare) Bill is to constitute a welfare board and establish a fund for financial schemes to provide social security and welfare of cine and cultural activists in the state.

Another incident of alleged insult to Islamic prayer reported in Belthangady
case lodged against 47 individuals
Belthangady: Another incident involving individuals allegedly dancing indecently, dressed in a denigrating manner, and insulting the Azan (Islamic call to prayer) has come to light under the jurisdiction of the Venoor Police Station. A case has been lodged against 17 accused persons and 20 to 30 others who were allegedly involved in the act.
Based on a complaint filed by Mohammed Rafiq, a resident of Poyyegudde house in Padangady village, a case has been registered at Venoor police station against Savya residents Vasantha, Rajesh, Harish, Peradi residents Dayanand, Ranganath, Mohan, Shamit, Ravi, Ramesh Kulal, Suresh, Ashoka Kulal, Dhanush Haradottu, Harish Banthottu, Ramesh R.K, Suresh Barottu, Pramod, Prakash Peradi and 20 to 30 other individuals.
A case has been registered under Section 353(2) along with Section 3(5) Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023 for disrespecting Islam, Prophet Muhammad and the Islamic prayer Azhan by wearing Muslim attire during a 'Purusha Kattuna' event on April 14th.
A video of the incident is reportedly circulating on various social media platforms. In the purported video, a group of individuals can be seen wearing traditional Muslim attire and allegedly insulting the Azan by dancing indecently during a 'Purusha Kattuna' (a ritualistic dance performed by men of different castes, typically marking the end of agricultural activities) event held in Peradi near Venoor.
This incident follows a similar episode reported just days ago during a Purushara Puja ceremony, where Islam was allegedly disrespected. A complaint had already been filed with the Venoor police regarding that incident.
Leaders from the Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) had also approached the Venoor police and submitted an official complaint, and demanded immediate action against those who are responsible for creating unrest in the society by wearing Muslim attire and hurting religious sentiments.
The Venoor police have now registered a case following widespread outrage over the alleged video denigrating Islam.
