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”

MP primary school teacher suspended for mimicking PM over LPG prices, uploading video of act
Shivpuri (PTI): A government school teacher in Madhya Pradesh's Shivpuri district was suspended after a video of him mimicking Prime Minister Narendra Modi while making satirical remarks on LPG cylinder prices went viral on social media, an official said on Saturday.
Saket Purohit, a teacher at the government primary school in Adivasi Mohalla Semarkhedi under Pohri block, was suspended with immediate effect late Friday night under the Madhya Pradesh Civil Services Rules, District Education Officer Vivek Srivastava told PTI.
In the video, Purohit can be heard stating that increase in gas prices would make people return to eating rotis cooked on traditional stoves, which would narrow the gap between the rich and the poor.
The probe by the district education office began after the video went viral, resulting in submission of a written complaint by Pichhore BJP MLA Preetam Lodhi.
In his complaint, Lodhi claimed such remarks and mimicry of the prime minister and public representatives by a government teacher violated service conduct rules and conveyed an inappropriate message to society.
Purohit was placed under suspension after the inquiry found that his act was contrary to the conduct rules applicable to government servants, Srivastava informed.
During the suspension period, Purohit would be posted at the block education office in Badarwas and he would be entitled to subsistence allowance as per rules, the official added.
A defiant Purohit, however, told reporters the action of suspending him was one-sided and that he neither received a show-cause notice nor was he given an opportunity to present his side.
"Action taken without a hearing is not justified," Purohit claimed.
