Reveal the name of the masked man in Dharmasthala: LoP
Bengaluru: The government must reveal the name of the masked man who is instructing to dig the ground in Dharmasthala. The SIT should not be disbanded but continued. Additionally, to detect those conspiring behind this, the matter should be handed over to the NIA for investigation, demanded opposition leader R Ashoka. Speaking in the Legislative Assembly, he said that instead of calling the mask man crazy at the end, an investigation should have been conducted first. His mental health examination has not been done till now. More than one crore rupees have been spent so far. Hitachi and JCB machines are being used. Modern weapons are being employed. This seems like a sponsored activity. The government must disclose who this masked man is, he demanded. Criminals will definitely be punished for criminal activities. In many cases, even chief ministers have been punished. In murder cases, the police do not spare anyone. The SIT should not be disbanded but continued, and an investigation must be conducted. Similarly, it should be revealed under whose pressure this SIT was formed. There is suspicion of foreign funding for this, so hand over the investigation to the NIA to detect the conspiring group, he urged. 'Digging a hill to catch a mouse' When a complaint was filed claiming there are hundreds of skeletons in Dharmasthala, the Congress government immediately formed an SIT. Neither the court nor officer Pranav Mohanty asked to form the SIT. Which gang is behind this? Which gang is around Chief Minister Siddaramaiah? Who inspired this? Public money is being used to dig the ground like this. But it's like digging a hill to catch a mouse. They scared people saying a tiger has come, but in the end, not even a mouse was found, he alleged. Information about the mask man is coming in the media every moment. But his name has not been revealed. People are saying his name is Chinnayya, and he has converted to Christianity. The police are doing makeup for him every day, feeding him biryani, providing full security, and taking him around. He is enjoying all this. The police dug where he instructed. Later, they spent one and a half lakh rupees using drones and other machines. Would anyone bury a body 20 feet deep? Doesn't the government have that much common sense? he questioned. Even digging six feet is very difficult for one person. But if this person has done so much work alone, it has to be called a fairy tale. It's unbelievable that he carried the body on his shoulder and went to the forest alone. Now, if they turn the dug area into an agricultural pond, it would benefit the farmers, he said sarcastically. Nothing found 'Despite digging so much every day, nothing is being found. The police should have first investigated who filed the complaint. Who is that person? They should have checked his background. Instead, lakhs of rupees are being wasted. If it's about delivering justice in the Dharmasthala Soujanya rape case, we all will support it. But under that pretext, Manjunatha Swami is being insulted. Earlier, they tried to drown Tirupati. Later, they attempted to destroy Sabarimala and Shani Singnapur temples', he said. 'Hindu religious sites are not right. They think if all these are finished, religion can be destroyed. There are many in our country who are spoiling the sanctity of the sites. The police must look at the team behind the masked man. Someone named Sujata Bhat has now come and filed a complaint saying her daughter Ananya has been kidnapped. According to information on Suvarna Channel, her family members said she doesn't even have a daughter. It has come to light that she is not an MBBS student at all. Who is giving such directions to the police?' he questioned.

MMDR Amendment Bill to boost jobs, accelerate critical mineral exploration: Standing Committee Member
BJP MP and Standing Committee on Coal, Mines & Steel member Roopkumari Choudhary has said the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2025, passed by the Lok Sabha on Tuesday, will strengthen state rights, generate employment, and bolster the economy through more efficient use of mineral resources. Choudhary told ANI that the legislation grants states greater authority over mining, including the right to sell mining waste, boosting local revenues and aiding environmental management. States will also have a role in the proposed mineral exchange to monitor production, reserves, and sales. 'This Bill significantly enhances states' rights, promotes employment, and strengthens the economic condition by enabling better utilisation of mineral resources,' she said. The amendments aim to simplify the mining regime, promote zero-waste mining, and advance the objectives of the National Critical Mineral Mission (NCMM), given the growing importance of minerals such as lithium, graphite, nickel, and cobalt for electric vehicles, battery manufacturing, and high-tech industries. Key provisions include raising National Mineral Exploration Trust funding from 2 per cent to 3 per cent, expanding lease areas by up to 30 per cent, allowing sale of 100 per cent captive mine output with additional royalty, and permitting private players and FDI in critical mineral exploration. The Bill also enables offshore exploration and foreign critical mineral projects. Union Coal and Mines Minister G Kishan Reddy told the House that the legislation will help address global supply chain constraints in critical minerals and boost domestic exploration. Under the NCMM, the Geological Survey of India is tasked with 1,200 exploration projects from 2024-25 to 2030-31.
