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.

Family-run burglary gang busted in Thane; 3 arrested, 2 minors detained
Thane (PTI): Two men and a teen have been arrested and their minor sons detained for allegedly carrying out a series of house break-ins and burglaries in Maharashtra's Thane district, police said on Sunday.
Earlier this week, the Mahatma Phule Chowk (MFC) police in Kalyan busted a family-run burglary ring in which the men scouted for locked houses and directed their sons to break in and steal valuables, a senior police official said.
Assistant Commissioner of Police (Kalyan) Ashok Honmane said that the police have arrested a 19-year-old man, two fathers and detained two minors, and recovered stolen gold ornaments worth Rs 21.6 lakh.
The matter came to light following a complaint lodged on May 8 in Kalyan West, following which a case of housebreaking and theft was subsequently registered, he said.
Acting on tip-offs, the police arrested Kailas Vilas Bhalerao (19), a resident of Mohane in Ambivali, on May 13, and detained two minors aged 14 and 15 years, the official said.
"Interrogation revealed that the fathers, Vilas Prakash Bhalerao (38) and Deepak Ashok Jadhav (40), used their daily jobs to recce houses in residential societies and would then pass on this specific information to their children," he said.
The arrested teen accused would target the houses along with the minors and decamp with cash and jewellery.
Investigations have revealed that the gang was involved in at least three other burglaries in the Kalyan area, the official said.
