"What sort of Hindutva is your's ?": Deve Gowda's poser to BJP
Bengaluru: "The main principle of Hindutva is tolerance. What sort of Hindutva are you pursuing if you cannot tolerate another religion?." This was how the JD(S) supremo and former PM H D Devegowda chose to question the BJP leaders.
Speaking to reporters on Monday after welcoming former BJP man and ex-minister Anand Asnotikar to the JD(S), Devegowda further questioned if the murders that took place in the coastal district recently are reflective of Hindutva.
"What the Shringeri Sharada Peetha seer of Chikkamagaluru is practising is true Hindutva. We too have faith in all Gods and also all religions," said Devegowda.
Yaga for welfare of mankind : Devegowda clarified on the occasion that the Shatarudrayaga that he performed at Shringeri recently was not to eliminate enemies but for welfare of mankind.
We do not need Siddaramaiah support : Gowa exuded confidence that his party would win four to five seats in Uttara Kannada district. "JD(S) is not a father-son party, the claim is applicable to the Congress," he said.

Davangere: Two policemen injured in stone pelting during Ganesha procession
Davangere: Reports state that two groups engaged in stone pelting at each other during Ganesha idol immersion ceremony in Davangere on Thursday. Two police personnel were injured in the incident.
Few days ago, two groups of youth engaged in verbal altercation regarding raising of a flag for Eid Milad celebration. On account of the clashes, police had heightened security for the Ganesha procession. Despite the additional security, stones were pelted at the procession, sources stated. Inspector Gururaj and constable Raghavendra were injured in the incident. The procession continued after the police brought the situation to control. However, the stone pelting resumed once again as the procession surged forwards.
Security has been tightened up in the area and all shops have been closed down by the police. The two police personnel, who were injured in the stone pelting, are undergoing treatment at a hospital.
