Siddaramaiah slams Centre, seeks fair share for Karnataka
Raichur, June 23 (UNI) Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Monday urged the central government to ensure a fair allocation of funds to the state under the 16th Finance Commission, claiming Karnataka lost nearly Rs 80,000 crore in devolution when compared to the 14th Finance Commission period. Addressing reporters in Raichur, Siddaramaiah accused BJP MPs from the state of "failing" to defend Karnataka's fiscal interests, stating, 'Not a single BJP MP has spoken against this injustice.' The CM specifically targeted Union Minister Pralhad Joshi, accusing him of not securing the release of Rs 11,495 crore recommended as a special grant for Karnataka. 'Despite his closeness to the Prime Minister, he has failed the state. He has no moral right to speak on Karnataka's welfare,' Siddaramaiah charged. Reiterating Karnataka's long-standing demand for a special grant for the development of the Kalyana Karnataka region, Siddaramaiah said the state government already spends Rs 5,000 crore annually for the area's development, and urged the Centre to contribute its share. He also said the state would consider setting up a dedicated ministry for the region to bolster progress. Responding to various issues, the Chief Minister acknowledged Minister HK Patil's suggestion to set up a special court to expedite illegal mining cases and recover pending dues. Recalling his past efforts, Siddaramaiah cited his role in raising the issue in the Assembly and participating in the Bellary padayatra, and noted that the Santosh Hegde Lokayukta report still awaits adequate follow-up. Siddaramaiah also addressed concerns from Congress MLA Raju Kage about development deficits in Kagwad, assuring that he would hold discussions with the legislator and prioritise special grants for constituencies in need. On allegations by MLA Belur Gopalakrishna regarding irregularities in housing schemes, he said the government would seek more information, and added that MLA B.R. Patil is scheduled to meet him on June 25 to discuss matters concerning the Housing Department. Meanwhile, in Bengaluru, Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar told reporters that both the Chief Minister and the Housing Minister would issue a detailed clarification over BR Patil's allegations of corruption in the Rajiv Gandhi Housing Corporation. He said accusations, including those from Gram Panchayat members about bribe-based allotments, would be examined thoroughly. UNI BDN SSP

Kanishka bombing 1985 stresses need for zero tolerance to terrorism: EAM Jaishankar
The 40th anniversary of the bombing of Air India's Kanishka aircraft is a moment to reiterate that there should be zero tolerance for terrorism, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar said on Monday (June 24, 2025). His remarks coincided with the memorial event that was organised jointly on the Irish coast of the Atlantic Ocean, where Union Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas Hardeep Singh Puri participated and said India had been a victim of terrorism over decades, adding it was a 'shared responsibility' of the world community to fight 'dangerous ideologies'. 'On the 40th anniversary of Air India 182 'Kanishka' bombing, we honour the memory of the 329 lives lost in one of the worst acts of terrorism. A stark reminder of why the world must show zero tolerance towards terrorism and violent extremism,' said Mr. Jaishankar, paying tribute to the victims of the Kanishka bombing who came from India, Canada, Ireland and other countries. Mr. Puri led the Indian team to Cork, Ireland where a solemn ceremony was held at Ahakista, to remember those who perished in the terror bombing that took place on June 23, 1985. 'This tragedy was a deliberate, heinous attack carried out by extremist elements associated with a fringe and radical movement which sought to weaken India through terror,' said Mr. Puri, who added the tragedy had brought India and Ireland closer 'Terrorism and extremism remain very real even today. For decades, India has suffered the scourge of terrorism. Time and again, our people have endured bombings, assassinations and other atrocities — from Jammu and Kashmir to Punjab to Mumbai,' said Mr. Puri, reminding that India experienced mass casualty terror attack in Pahalgam on April 22, 2025. He also recollected his visits to the Kanishka memorials in Toronto, Canada and said the grief of the families of the victims had not vanished. 'This memorial site stands testimony to the tragedy of that crash on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean not far from here. Out of the ruins of a tragedy, the unique friendship between the Irish and the Indian people was deepened,' said Mr. Puri, thanking Ireland for memorialising Air India 182 tragedy. He described Kanishka bombing as a 'stain on humanity'.
