Khader takes on parties fielding paid candidates, says Cong will fight all odd

Mangalore, May 1: Highlighting the trend of communal parties fielding several paid candidates for the elections, Congress candidate for Mangalore constituency Mr U T Khader has said that it is a reaction by the communal parties after having failed to take on the Congress directly. He has further said that even if the parties field 25 such candidates, the victory will ultimately go to the Congress.

“Ullal region did not just experience communal harmony, but its also saw major development under the Congress rule. Hence, there is no doubt that the people of this region will vote the Congress to power,” Mr Khader.

He was speaking at a party workers' meeting held in Harekala in Mangalore constituency held on Monday.

“Few organisations today are engaged in spreading negative publicity about the party in the name of religion, which is false. But members of the party will rise up to the moment and bring the Congress back to power this time,” he voiced.

Congress leader Kanachur Monu said that it was evident from the development done by U T Khader as an MLA in the previous terms that he deserved to win in the elections.

Member of taluk panchayat Mohammed Mustafa also spoke on the occasion.

Brahmin Savarkar was non-veg eater; wasn't against cow slaughter: Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao

News Network

October 3,2024

Karnataka Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao reminded that V D Savarkar was not against cow slaughter as he himself was non-veg eater, PTI reported on Thursday.

"As a Brahmin he was eating meat, and he was openly propagating eating meat," said the minister at an event in Bengaluru.

Reacting to Gundu Rao's claim, BJP MP Anurag Thakur called Congress a "factory of lies" as he warned that India won't tolerate any disrespect towards Savarkar.

"By disrespecting Veer Savarkar they have shown that they don't respect freedom fighters. During the Congress government, Sardar Bhagat Singh was termed a separatist in textbooks...By making those who want to break the nation join the congress party, Rahul Gandhi is taking forward the ideology of 'tukde tukde' and he is a 'modern Jinnah' who speaks ill of the country abroad...," he said.

Meanwhile, a court in Maharashtra's Nashik district summoned Congress MP Rahul Gandhi earlier this week in a defamation case filed against him for his alleged objectionable remarks against the Hindutva ideologue.

The complainant, who is the director of an NGO, claimed he watched a press conference addressed by Gandhi in Hingoli and also a speech made by the Congress leader in November 2022.

He alleged that Gandhi, on the two occasions, by his words and visual representations knowingly harmed the reputation of Veer Savarkar and also tried to defame the latter's image in the society.

According to the complainant, Gandhi said "Savarkar is BJP and RSS jin" which was defamatory in nature.
