Did Centre give directions to raid SDPI offices?: Karnataka HC to govt

Bengaluru: The Karnataka High Court on Monday issued summons for the second time to JD(S) MLA H.D. Revanna, son of former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda in connection with a case of alleged election irregularities.

Advocate G. Devaraje Gowda had filed a plea challenging the election of Revanna to the Karnataka Assembly. The bench headed by Justice Jyothi Mulimani took up the petition and issued summons to Revanna and others in connection with the case and adjourned the matter to November 29.

The petitioner had alleged that Revanna, who contested the Assembly elections from Holenarasipura seat in Hassan district, had won after his supporters distributed two live chickens and Rs 2,000 cash to the voters.

The Karnataka High Court had disqualified Revanna’s son Prajwal Revanna from the post of Member of Parliament over irregularities in his 2019 election affidavit. However, the Supreme Court later stayed the judgment of Karnataka High Court.

Minister for Education B.C. Nagesh said on Friday that there was no difference between the ideologies of the Congress party and the PFI. “I don’t know what Congress leaders know about the RSS. A few of them want votes of Muslims and that is why they are demanding a ban on the RSS,” he said. “RSS is a patriotic organisation. It is not getting any funds from the government. It is not important whether it is registered or not. RSS is working for the welfare of the country. But, PFI is indulging in anti-national activities,” he stated.
