BS Yeddyurappa threatens to lay siege to Vidhana Soudha

Bangalore, Nov 2: Former chief minister BS Yeddyurappa plans to intensify his protest after November 5 by laying siege to Vidhana Soudha if the government doesn't agree to his two demands.

Staging a day-night dharna from Thursday at the Mahatma Gandhi statue near Ananda Rao Circle, Yeddyurappa demanded extending theRs50,000-dole given to poor Muslim girls at the time of marriage to all communities. His second demand is giving foodgrains issued through the public distribution system to above poverty line (APL) ration cardholders, who are not eligible for anything now.

On why he was silent when the scheme was announced in the state budget, Yeddyurappa said : "The agitation will be noticed only when the scheme is launched. The Congress government has kick-started it with an eye on the Lok Sabha polls. The thaali bhagya scheme of giving Rs 10,000 to newlywed couples is not confined to any community."

CM says no:

An emissary sent by Siddaramaiah to hold talks with Yeddyurappa was futile. The CM said the maximum he can do is to extend the Rs 50,000-scheme to all minorities. He refused to restore ration to APL families.

Udupi: In a significant operation, the Malpe police have arrested seven Bangladeshi nationals who were illegally residing in India using forged Aadhaar cards. Udupi Superintendent of Police, Dr. Arun K, stated that the arrests followed after an immigration incident involving one of the group's members.

Muhammed Manik, one of the arrested individuals, was caught attempting to travel to Dubai via Mangaluru International Airport with a fake passport. Alert immigration officers at the airport detained him and handed him over to the Bajpe police, who registered a case. Following this, the Udupi police, acting on the information provided by the Bajpe police and immigration authorities, conducted an investigation that led to the arrest of the seven individuals in Hoode village, Paduthonse, Udupi.

The arrested individuals have been identified as Hakeem Ali (24), Sujon S K alias Farooq (19), Ismail S K (30), Kareem S K (20), Salam S K (22), Rajikul S K (20), and Mohammed Sojib (20), all hailing from Bangladesh.

The group entered India without any valid documentation and managed to acquire fake Aadhaar cards, which they used to stay in the country illegally. According to police sources, a person named Kajol from Agartala assisted them in obtaining the fraudulent Aadhaar cards, while a Bangladeshi named Usman facilitated their illegal entry into India under the guise of employment. Both Kajol and Usman are currently at large.

The Malpe police have registered cases under several sections, including Sections 19(2), 318(4), 336(2), 336(3), 340(2), and 190 of the BNS, related to fraud and illegal entry. Interrogations are ongoing as the police seek further details in connection with the case.
