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.

Mangaluru: In a tragic case that shocked the city, the principal district and sessions judge Ravindra M Joshi sentenced Sandeep Rathod of Sindagi, Vijayapura, to life imprisonment for the murder of 22-year-old college student Anjana Vashishta.

According to public prosecutor Judith OM Crasta, the gruesome crime occurred on June 7, 2019, when Anjana's body was discovered at Pais Cottage in Attavar. The victim was found with cable wires wrapped around her neck, her head wedged between the cot's rods, painting a chilling picture of her final moments.

Anjana, an MSc student in Ujire, had met Rathod, then 23, through Facebook in July 2018. Rathod, posing as a constable-in-training, developed a relationship with her, even securing a place at the Royal Academy Coaching Centre in Mangaluru. However, things took a dark turn when Anjana informed Rathod that her family had arranged a marriage proposal for her, which she planned to accept.

Devastated by her decision to end their relationship, Rathod called Anjana to his room. In a fit of rage, he strangled her. After the murder, he stole her phone, withdrew Rs 15,000 from her account using her ATM card, and fled to Sindagi, where he stayed at Sangam Lodge.

The Mangaluru South police investigated the case and filed charges under IPC Sections 302 (murder), 380 (theft), and 403 (dishonest misappropriation of property). The court's thorough investigation included testimony from 45 witnesses and the review of 100 documents.

The court ultimately sentenced Rathod to life imprisonment and imposed a fine of Rs 25,000. He was also sentenced to three months’ imprisonment for the theft and misappropriation charges, along with fines totaling Rs 1,500. Additionally, the court directed the District Legal Services Authority to provide compensation to Anjana’s parents for their immense loss.
