Condemning the killing of Jain Monk Sri Kamakumar Nandi Maharaj at Chikkodi taluk of Belagavi district and also the brutal murder of Hindu activist Venugopal in T. Narasipura taluk of Mysuru district, the district unit of the Hindu Jagruti Sene staged a protest in Kalaburagi on Tuesday.
Sene district president Laxmikant Swadi, in a memorandum addressed to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Home Minister G. Parameshwara, has demanded that the State government institute a high-level probe into the two cases. He urged the government to take strict action against those involved in both the murders.
Mr. Swadi demanded that the government extend protection to religious leaders and Hindu activists and also take concrete steps to prevent such heinous crimes in the future.
“We are judges and therefore, cannot act like Mughals of a bygone era ... the writ courts in the guise of doing justice cannot transcend the barriers of law,” the High Court of Karnataka observed while setting aside an order of a single judge, who in 2016 had extended the lease of a public premises allotted to a physically challenged person to 20 years contrary to 12-year period stipulated in the law.
The High Court of Karnataka on Monday declined to interfere, at present, in the investigation against a Bharatiya Janata Party worker, who is among the accused persons facing charges of circulating obscene clips, related to “morphed” images and videos clips related to Prajwal Revanna, former Hassan MP, in public domain through pen drives and other modes.
