We don't need certificate of patriotism by the followers of Godse: Siddaramaiah
Kalburagi: Former Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah on Sunday asserted that he doesn’t need certificate of being a patriot from the followers of the murderer of a patriot like Mahatma Gandhi. He was referring to Nathuram Godse who killed Mahatma Gandhi.
He was speaking at a by-election campaign rally at Chincholi on Sunday. He said “The party which made the freedom struggle and leaders of whom were jailed during freedom struggle is now being handed certificate of patriotism. That’s the irony happening right now”.
Mahatma Gandhi, Indira Gandhi, Rajeev Gandhi sacrificed their lives for this country. Show me a single leader of BJP who has laid down his life for the country. These BJP people handing certificates of patriotism today are the fake patriots”
“Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Sardar Vallabhai Patel, Moulana Azad and others languished in jails during freedom struggle. Can anyone name any BJP or RSS leader who was with them in the jail during freedom struggle. We can then accept the patriotism of their party” Siddaramaiah stressed.
Yeddiyurappa, Katta Subramanya Naidu, Janardhan Poojary and Amit Shah all these people went to jail to sleep? Do you still want to vote for BJP? Narendra Modi who calls himself a patriot is dividing the country on the lines of religion, community and castes. He is an anti-national”

Elephant calf brought from Bijnor kept under care at Pilibhit Tiger Reserve
Pilibhit (PTI): A 19-day-old elephant calf, brought from Bijnor, was placed under care at the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve (PTR) on Sunday, an official said and added that the calf got separated from its mother in the forest area of Bijnor.
The calf was born on December 2 in the Bijnor forest area and got separated from its mother shortly after birth, the official said.
The forest department made several attempts to reunite it with its mother, but without any success. To ensure the calf's safety and better care, it was decided to transfer it to the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve on the instructions of senior officials.
On Saturday, Deputy Director Manish Singh received the calf. Special arrangements have been made in the reserve for its care. It has been kept in a safe and clean environment to provide it with a natural setting and protect it from external noise and disturbances.
Singh told reporters that raising an 19-day-old calf is challenging.
It requires a special diet as a substitute for mother's milk and constant monitoring.
He said a special team has been formed to provide 24-hour care. Since the calf is very young, it is being cared for like a newborn baby.
According to Singh, the primary responsibility for monitoring the calf's health has been entrusted to PTR's veterinarian, Dr Daksh Gangwar. Under his supervision, a complete record of the calf's health checkups, diet, and body temperature is being maintained. The team is ensuring that the calf does not contract any infection.
