“Even though the case is still in the investigation phase, some media houses with vested interests, to increase their TRP, are jumping to conclusions,” stated a release issued by there SDPI.

The release said, with the focus on "Freedom from hunger & freedom from fear", SDPI is tirelessly working for many years to uplift the backward classes, the Dalits, minorities and the exploited classes.

“SDPI being a political party which has total trust in the democratic system strongly condemns the killing of any human being. With total compliance to the secular nature of our constitution and in accordance to the election commission rules, SDPI has been gradually consolidating its vote bank which consists of victimized masses who earlier never had an option. This perhaps is not going down well with some communal minded parties who thrive on polarization in the society.”

“Before the RSS and BJP clamor for the blood of parties opposing them, they should revisit their own history. From the assassination of Mahathma Gandhi which happens to be the first terrorist attack on the soil of independent India to the murder of Praveen Pujari in Kundapura and also being accused in the many murder cases, they lack credibility to make such claims.”

“To mention a few such media manipulations - in Dakshina Kannada district, in the case of the serial killing of 20 Hindu girls, the RSS accused Muslim organizations. Finally, a teacher named Mohan Kumar was arrested in the serial killing. In the case of the murder of Harish Pujari in Bantwal, they tried to tarnish the image of SDPI. Finally, the investigation revealed bajrangdal's MithunKalladka&Bhuvith Shettywere arrested along with 3 other people.”

“In the Tipu Jayanthi celebrations in Madikeri last year, in the case of the death of VHP worker Kuttappa, a murder case was registered against our local leaders. The police investigation revealed that Kuttappa, running away from the commotion, slipped and fell to his death. This lead to the murder case against the president of SDPI city council being dropped and the case closed. On the same day fascist goons who were trying to cash in on the chaos shot an innocent Muslim youth by name Shahul Hameed leading to the arrest of RSS leaders Kavan, Bheeshma and Ramesh.”

“SDPI denies any connection between the case of Rudresh's murder. SDPI continues to defend that its name is being dragged into the case as a part of a larger political conspiracy to tarnish the image of a political party which is quickly popularizing as a pro-people's party in the political front,” the release said.

RSS goons or Communist activists have been killed on daily basis in Kerala due to rivalry between them.Communist party also to be banned?? RSS has the history of carrying out terrorist activities all over India, scores of their members died while preparing/storing/transporting explosives in Kerala and elsewhere. KG kid is aware which gang is the cancer of India and should be banned. Media trial - most of the present day journalists are worse than pros....for money they can go to any extent...

The Karnataka government has announced that Nandini milk will become ₹4 costlier per litre starting April 1, 2025. This is the second price hike this year.

The decision was made during a cabinet meeting led by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. Karnataka Cooperation Minister K N Rajanna and Animal Husbandry Minister K Venkatesh said the increase is meant to support dairy farmers by covering the rising costs of producing and processing milk.

Officials also said that:

>> The extra money from the price hike will go directly to the milk producers.

>> The earlier ₹2 price hike (announced on June 26, 2024) will be withdrawn.

>> The new price hike of ₹4 will apply to both 500 ml and 1-litre packets.

Bengaluru: The Karnataka Assembly on Friday passed Bills doubling the salaries of the chief minister, ministers, and legislators, adding an annual burden of ₹62 crore on the exchequer.

The CM's monthly salary will increase from ₹75,000 to ₹1.5 lakh, while ministers will see a 108% hike, from ₹60,000 to ₹1.25 lakh. MLAs and MLCs will get ₹80,000 per month, up from ₹40,000, and their pension will rise from ₹50,000 to ₹75,000.

The Karnataka Ministers Salaries and Allowances (Amendment) Bill and the Karnataka Legislature Salaries, Pensions and Allowances (Amendment) Bill were passed without debate, as the Opposition BJP protested in the well of the House.

The Bills cited the rising cost of living as justification for the hike. The Assembly Speaker and Legislative Council chairperson will now receive ₹1.25 lakh per month, up from ₹75,000.

Mangaluru International Airport (MIA), Karnataka’s second busiest airport, has seen 148.5kg of gold smuggled between 2019 and December 2024, with 90% arriving from the UAE. Customs officials recorded 346 cases, averaging 30kg of gold seized per year (2.5kg per month). Most smugglers are from Kerala and Bhatkal.

A senior customs officer revealed that MIA sees at least five gold smuggling cases per month. Numbers dropped during the pandemic but surged after flights resumed. Many offenders are first-time carriers, while some are habitual smugglers. With fewer flights, customs thoroughly checks passengers, making smuggling harder.

Smugglers constantly innovate concealment methods. Hiding gold in the rectum remains common, but gold is also found in trolley bags, mobile covers, chocolate boxes, milk powder, biscuit packets, and clothing layers. Electronic devices like car speaker magnets, LED bulbs, AirPods, wristwatches, and ballpoint pens have been used.

Unusual tactics include hiding gold in a woman’s hairband, a baby’s diaper, and even a kheer mix packet (347g). In one case, a passenger attempted to smuggle 100g in his mouth under a mask but was caught.

Officials note that while the UAE remains a key source, smugglers now bring gold from other Gulf countries, continuously adapting to evade detection.
