Your communal game won't work now, will land you in jail: MB Patil warns Chakravarthy Sulibele
Vijayapura: Minister for Commerce and Industry MB Patil has issued a stern warning to activist Chakravarthy Sulibele, cautioning him that his efforts to fuel communal tensions in society will lead to legal repercussions. Patil conveyed the message that any attempt to incite communal strife would result in imprisonment for Sulibele, the founder of Yuva Brigade.
During a press conference held on Sunday, Patil expressed his dissatisfaction with Sulibele's comparison of the Congress government to Hitler's regime, stating that such remarks were inflammatory and divisive. Patil accused Sulibele of instigating disturbances in the state over the past four years, citing controversial issues such as textbooks, hijab, halal, and azaan. Patil emphasized that the government is committed to resolving these problems and restoring harmony.
Responding to Sulibele's remarks, Patil clarified that the saffron color is not exclusive to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). He highlighted that the Congress party also holds religious ceremonies, hoists saffron flags at temples, and utilizes the color in their homes, underscoring the shared cultural significance of the saffron hue.

Pleas against Waqf Act: Centre files caveat in SC, hearing likely on Apr 15
New Delhi, Apr 8 (PTI): The Centre on Tuesday filed a caveat in the Supreme Court and sought a hearing before any order was passed on the pleas challenging the constitutional validity of the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025.
Caveat is filed by a party in the high courts and the apex court to ensure that no orders are passed without hearing it.
Over 10 petitions, including those by politicians and the All India Muslim Personal Law Board and Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind, were filed in the top court challenging the validity of the newly-enacted law.
Lawyers privy to the development said the petitions were likely to be listed for hearing before a bench on April 15 though it is not reflected on the apex court website as of now.
On April 7, a bench headed by Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna assured senior advocate Kapil Sibal, appearing for Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind, to consider listing the petitions.
President Droupadi Murmu on April 5 gave her assent to the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2025, which was passed by Parliament after heated debates in both houses.
