In yet another case of hooliganism in the name of Ram, a gang of miscreants, said to be activists of Bajrang Dal, thrashed a group of madrasa students and forced them to chant 'Jai Shree Ram' in Unnao of Uttar Pradesh.

According to Imam of Jama Masjid in Unnao, the madrasa children were beaten by the miscreants while they were playing cricket after they refused to chant ‘Jai Shri Ram’. They also pelted stones at children and tore their clothes.

Police have registered a case in this incident and have identified three accused tracing their Facebook accounts. Accused have purportedly identified themselves as members of Bajrang Dal in their social media accounts.

According to some news reports, the children went to a ground to play cricket after offering afternoon prayer. It was then that a group of four men arrived at the ground and after discussion over playing cricket they allegedly started beating the children and even forced them to say 'Jai Shri Ram'.

After the incident, the children came back to madrasa and narrated the incident. Police arrived at the madrasa and took cognisance of the matter.

Unnao Circle Officer Umesh Kumar Tyagi informed that the children from the madrasa usually go to the GIC Inter-College ground to play cricket on Thursdays and the ground is also visited by others, who come there to play. The Imam of Jama Masjid has demanded quick probe into the matter and arrest of the accused at the earliest possible.

JD(S) leader G T Devegowda backs CM Siddaramaiah in MUDA row, taunts HDK

Mysuru: Chairman of JD(S) core committee and Chamundeshwari constituency MLA G T Devegowda on Thursday expressed his solidarity with Chief Minister Siddaramaiah saying the latter need not resign, while lambasting leaders of his own party and alliance partner BJP, including Union Minister H D Kumaraswamy.

In his speech during Mysuru Dasara inauguration he said that if persons against whom FIR is registered have to resign, many leaders from all the three parties, including Opposition Leader R Ashoka, will have to resign.

“All are sitting in glass houses... Since I know Siddaramaiah well, I am talking about him. At a time when mines and real estate are ruling politics, Siddaramaiah has survived in politics. He has never done any favour,” Devegowda said.

He added, “Allegations against Siddaramaiah are unexpected and accidental. If the Governor and Chief Justice order an investigation, it does not mean that he should resign."

He continued, asking, "Have they told Siddaramaiah to resign or have they asked to imprison him? When a person becomes a Central minister, he or she should realise their dignity and responsibility. Instead of recognising the good work done by Siddaramaiah, they ask him to resign. Will Kumarswamy (facing an FIR) resign? Should Siddaramaiah, who has become CM with a support of 135 MLAs, resign?"

"Opposition leaders are not remembering the good work of earlier CMs Kengal Hanumanthaiah, Veerendra Patil, Ramakrishna Hegde, H D Deve Gowda or S M Krishna. Karnataka is a model state. It is a bad trend to topple an elected government which is doing good work,” he further said.

Devegowda added, “Siddaramaiah is Goddess Chamundeshwari’s ‘Varaputra’ and hence has her blessings during tough times. He won the election in Chamundeshwari Assembly constituency, when the BJP-JD(S) government was in power in 2006. With the blessings of the Goddess, he has held varied positions right from becoming an MLA for the first time in 1983. He presented 15 budgets and has become CM for a second time. He took H C Mahadevappa, a Dalit leader to the state level. Siddaramaiah has the support of Deputy CM D K Shivakumar as ‘Jodeththu’. Blessings of the beneficiaries of guarantee schemes are with him (Siddaramaiah).”

Siddaramaiah said, “Devegowda was a MUDA member. He knows the truth. Hence, he is saying this. His words have filled strength in me. ‘Satyameva Jayate’, Truth will always triumph.”
