BJP demands probe into PFI's role in Suhas Shetty murder
They expressed dissatisfaction over 'flaws at every stage of investigation' into the Suhas Shetty murder case."The investigation into the murder of Hindu activist Suhas Shetty by fanatical forces reveals flaws at every stage, with no signs of progress. A month before Shetty's murder, on March 31, 2025, criminals threatened him on social media, saying they would kill him. There is an attempt to protect the large-scale financial network, both domestic and international, that supported this murder case. There is strong suspicion that the banned PFI is involved in this murder plot and received funding from abroad through the same organisation," the BJP alleged.Only eight people were arrested so far in connection with the murder, and questions remain about the identity and lack of arrests of others seen in the viral video. The brutal murder of Suhas Shetty occurred in front of the SDPI office, and seven or eight individuals emerged from the SDPI office with weapons and attacked Suhas, according to eyewitnesses, the BJP members alleged in a memorandum.After Suhas Shetty's murder, police should have focused on identifying the perpetrators, their backgrounds, and those who assisted them. Instead, they are raiding the homes of Hindu activists at midnight and causing disruption, they alleged."This is not just about the murder of Suhas Shetty. It poses a challenge to the country's internal security, communal harmony, and the integrity of the democratic law enforcement system, as banned organisations, communal extremist activities, and organised crime by anti-national destructive forces are involved. This case must be investigated transparently and independently, without any interference," said MLA Sunil Kumar, demanding an NIA probe into Suhas Shetty's murder.BJP MLAs D Vedavyas Kamath, Y Bharath Shetty, Umanath Kotian, Harish Poonja, Bhagirath Murulya and MLCs Prathap Simha Nayak, and Kishore Kumar Puttur were present.Nadda to visit M'luruBJP national president and Union minister JP Nadda will visit Dharmasthala on Sunday.

Lok Sabha passes Mines and Minerals Amendment Bill by voice vote
New Delhi, Aug 12 (UNI) The Lok Sabha today passed the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2025 by voice vote. The Bill aims to ensure the benefits of the mining sector reach the common people, introduce transparency in the allocation of mines and promote development in the sector. While presenting the bill in the Lok Sabha, Union Minister for Coal and Mines, G Kishan Reddy, said the proposed amendments aim to boost employment opportunities and ensure that tribals and those linked to the mining sector directly benefit from the reforms. He pointed out that prior to the Modi government, mine allocations were done with minimal oversight, allowing mafia groups to dominate the sector. This led to the Supreme Court cancelling 104 mine allocations due to corruption. He emphasised that the scenario has now significantly improved. Reddy also mentioned that the mining sector was once controlled by politically influential individuals and marred by exploitation. In contrast, he said, the current environment fosters development, with common citizens now seeing real benefits. Taking a dig at the Opposition members who were protesting the bill, he said that their opposition stems from a lack of faith in the people. Earlier, during the debate, BJP MP Malavika Devi highlighted that mine allocations were previously handled in an unethical manner, but reforms have changed that. She said the bill would help uplift the poor and improve the nation's global standing by ensuring transparency in mining. BJP's Brijmohan Agrawal called the legislation a key step towards the development of tribal regions, stating that it would benefit marginalized communities. CM Gurumoorthy Maddila of the YSR Congress and G Lakshminarayan from the Telugu Desam Party also took part in the discussion.

Saffron flags atop 200-yr-old mausoleum: No arrest made in UP's Fatehpur so far
1 2 Prayagraj: The entire Abunagar and adjoining areas under the limits of Kotwali Nagar police station in Fatehpur district were on Tuesday turned into a fortress after Monday's incident wherein members of Hindu organisations allegedly entered the Eidgah premises and hoisted saffron flags atop a 200-year-old mausoleum on the campus, claiming that it was raised at the site of a temple. However, no arrest was made till Tuesday evening. Police had on Monday lodged an FIR against 10 named individuals and 150 unknown persons for disturbing peace. Those named in the FIR included Abhishek Shukla, Dharmendra, Ashish Trivedi, Pappu Singh, Prasoon, Ritik Pal, Vinay Tiwari, Pushpraj Patel, Ajay Singh, and Devnath Dhakre. Kotwali Nagar police station inspector Tarkeshwar Rai told TOI that the situation remained peaceful throughout Tuesday. He further added that cops maintained a strict watch in the areas and adequate forces were deployed at various locations accordingly. Apart from senior officials camping and maintaining strict vigilance, cops on Tuesday carried out patrolling in Abunagar and adjoining areas to maintain law and order. No one was allowed to move towards the disputed site. The local administration and police appealed to citizens to maintain peace in the area. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Best Method for a Flat Stomach After 50 (It's Genius!) Lulutox Undo The incident occurred on Monday morning despite the police bandobast, sparking outrage among members of the local Muslim community and leading to a tussle between the two opposing camps. While there were claims that members of the Hindu Mahasabha and other saffron groups damaged a part of a tomb near the mausoleum, the district administration denied any vandalism. Following the incident, an FIR against 10 named and 150 unidentified individuals was registered under sections 190, 191(2), 191(3), 301, 196 of the BNS Act, 07 of the CLA Act, and sections 2/3 of the Public Property Damage Prevention Act for forcibly entering and vandalising a disputed mausoleum site. Police claimed to have formed special teams to apprehend the people named in the FIR, but no arrest was made on Tuesday. Since last week, adequate police forces were deployed on the Eidgah campus after members of an organisation named Math Mandir Sangharsh Samiti submitted a memorandum to the Fatehpur district authorities claiming that the mausoleum of Nawab Abdul Samad was constructed at the site of the Thakurji temple. On Monday, scores of Hindu activists reached the spot unexpectedly, briefly overwhelming the police. Police resorted to lathicharge and summoned reinforcements from 10 police stations to contain the rampaging crowd after the members of the Hindu group outnumbered the cops present on the Eidgah campus and hoisted saffron flags atop the structure. Soon after the incident, senior cops reached the scene, conducted a flag march, and deployed additional SPs from five districts. The saffron flags were later removed, and both communities were urged to maintain peace. Three companies of the Provincial Armed Constabulary, officers from headquarters, and additional staff from the zone were deployed at the site, which remained under round-the-clock vigil.
