Mangalore, Dec 18: Vexed over BJP leader Dr Subramanian Swamy's remarks against Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi, the party workers in Mangalore on Tuesday gheraoed Circuit House where the former was staying.

On Tuesday, Dr Swamy delivered a lecture on “Present political situation and relevance of Narendra Modi's leadership” at AB Shetty Hall in the city.

He termed Rahul Gandhi as a 'Buddhu and drug addict' who has zero potential.

Mounting a personal attack on Rahul Gandhi, he also said, Rahul Gandhi is an idiot, no knowledge of politics and is into cocaine, which apparently suggests that he is a drug addict.

Irked over his “low-level” remarks a group of congress men led by MLA J R Lobo, Youth Congress president Mithun Rai raised the slogans against Swamy and demanded to apologise.

Dr Swamy had said that Narendra Modi had no challenges and congress has no candidates to field for prime ministers race. “Congress chief, Sonia Ghandhi wants to field Rahul Ghandi, who has zero potential. But with this country has challenges created by present government,” he said.

Swamy said India has five challenges like corruption, collapse of economy, threat on national security, reputation in world and 'participation note'.

“Since country is led by congress party, economical inflation is taking place. Corruption is ruling nation and leading in fall in rupee value against dollar. Crores of 'black money' being deposited in foreign countries and led the commoners to suffer. This situation created threat from Pakhistani agencies to create threat to internal security and they have every record of corrupt politician's black money,” he stated.

Further he said, 'participation notes' are the worst part of corruption, where Indian rupee spent in buying foreign currency through illegal transaction. Later same invested in India through foreign direct investment with the help of some other countries and take tax benefits. This is a major threat to every sector in country, he said adding that, “If all the black money is bought back to India, then we have no need to pay tax in future,” he added.

“Due to flow of black money in country production cost of goods and land value is increasing. Another side P Chidambaram, finance minister is promoting corruption. 2G spectrum scam and allowing Wall-mart in Indian market are among those. Through 'forward trading' many farmers are looted and consumers are kept away from market fluctuation in agricultural product,” said Dr Swamy.

Lamenting congress led UPA government country he said, if the BJP comes into power in state then in another five years of rule rupee value will be bought into 10:1$. I have caught many corrupt leaders and I am waiting to catch P Chidambaram's scams, he said.

However, to secure a developing country the technology has to be grown. Even the education has to be given to all. This will help in having a corruption free nation, he opined.

Muslims have to accept their ancestors were Hindus

Taliban is a threat to India. But able leadership can make them to get scared of India and country need an eligible leader.

“Even the Muslims have to accept that we are all Hindustanis and their ancestors were also Hindus. Every religion is interlinked and in past we were divided as caste for the social change. But present we are all inter depended and no need of caste tagline, he said.

Meanwhile Dr Subramanian Swamy released a book 'The Tyrant of Mysore” by Sandeep Balakrishnan on Tipu Sulthan.

President of Shrinivas Group of Colleges, A Raghavendra Rao and Chakravarthy Sulibele were the chief guest of the occasion.

New Delhi: The Supreme Court today sought a report from the Karnataka High Court over controversial remarks made by Justice Vedavyasachar Srishananda during a recent court hearing.

Justice Srishananda, while addressing a landlord-tenant dispute, referred to a Muslim-majority area in Bengaluru as "Pakistan" and made a misogynistic comment involving a woman lawyer. 

A five-judge bench led by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, along with Justices S Khanna, B R Gavai, S Kant, and H Roy, expressed the need for establishing clear guidelines for constitutional court judges regarding their remarks in court. 

The Supreme Court bench said that when social media plays an active role in monitoring and amplifying courtroom proceedings, there is an urgency to ensure judicial commentary aligns with the decorum expected from courts of law.

"Our attention has been drawn to some comments made by Karnataka High Court judge Justice V Srishananda during the conduct of judicial proceedings. We have asked the AG and SG to assist us. We ask the registrar general of the High Court to submit a report to this court after seeking administrative directions from the Chief Justice of Karnataka High Court. This exercise may be carried out in 2 weeks," the top court directed.

Videos of Justice Srishanananda have gone viral on social media.

In one video, he refers to a Muslim-dominated locality in Bengaluru as "Pakistan" and on another video he was seen making objectionable comments against a woman lawyer. In the second incident, Justice Srishanananda can be heard telling the woman lawyer that she seemed to know a lot about the "opposition party", so much so that she might be able to reveal the colour of their undergarments.

Mangaluru, Sept 9: An action committee has voiced concerns about the construction of a new toll plaza near Sooralpady Masjid on the Mangaluru-Moodbidri-Karkala National Highway 169, 17 km from Nanthoor. Amidst ongoing construction, the Action Committee Against Surathkal Toll Gate claims irregularities and poor site selection.

Committee convener Muneer Katipalla noted that only 50% of the Nanthoor-Moodbidri-Karkala highway upgrade is complete after seven to eight years. The Nanthoor-Vamanjoor stretch remains unfinished, causing traffic issues, while dangerous hillside cutting near Kettikal has forced residents to relocate. Additionally, a flyover near Kaikamba threatens a local market.

Katipalla also criticized the construction of a bypass road, alleging it benefits real estate investors and inflates the project cost, which could increase toll fees. The proposed toll plaza, situated 36 km from Talapady toll gate and 35 km from Brahmarakotlu toll gate, violates distance regulations and is too close to local amenities, raising public objections.

There is growing concern that toll collection might begin before the project's completion, with locals frustrated by unaddressed grievances. Social activist Bava Padarangi, DYFI leader Srinath Kulal, and other community leaders attended the site visit.

Mysuru: More than 50 people have been arrested in connection with the riots between two groups of different faiths, at Nagamangala town, Mandya district, over the Ganesha idol procession, on Wednesday night.

High drama prevailed in front of the Nagamangala town police station on Thursday morning, with women belonging to both Hindu and Muslim communities staging a protest against the arrest of their family members and demanding their release.

The two groups started arguing over the Ganesha idol procession on the Mysuru-Nagamangala road, near a 'dargah'. This soon turned violent with stone being pelted. Reports said that around 25 shops were also set on fire.

Several vehicles were damaged and torched by the mob. However, police intervened and brought the situation under control, deploying additional police forces.

Holiday has been declared to schools and colleges in Nagamangala town until further notice. Police have imposed section 144 till 12 noon of September 14.
