BJP says Congress govt. has turned Karnataka into a ‘safe abode of anti-nationals'
Expressing concern over the Gujarat Anti-Terrorist Squad arresting a woman from Bengaluru for amplifying the digital propaganda of Al-Qaeda in India and the Mumbai police detecting a narcotics drug manufacturing unit in Mysuru, the BJP has accused the Congress government of protecting anti-nationals. Speaking to presspersons in Delhi, BJP MP and former Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai accused the government of protecting anti-nationals, and said law and order in Karnataka had completely deteriorated. 'The police have lost control over criminal elements. Just last week, the Maharashtra police came to Mysuru and seized drugs worth around ₹394 crore. Yet, the Karnataka Home Minister claimed that he had no information regarding the drug operation,' he said. He further said that a Gujarat ATS team came to Bengaluru and arrested a woman who is a member of Al-Qaeda in the Indian subcontinent. 'This woman was recruiting for Al-Qaeda in the subcontinent. It was the Gujarat ATS team that arrested her. What were the Karnataka police doing?' he said. Another BJP MP, Capt Brijesh Chowta, alleged in Delhi that Karnataka was becoming a safe abode of anti-nationals and terrorists because of the maladministration of the Siddaramaiah-led Congress government. The Home Minister had become helpless in the power tussle between the Chief Minister and the Deputy Chief Minister that had weakened the administration, he alleged. This had made people to live under fear as the political situation had weakened the law and order situation, turning the State into a safe abode for anti-national activities, he argued.

Judicial panel clears Siddaramaiah and wife in Muda case
. BENGALURU: A government-appointed judicial committee has exonerated Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah and his wife BM Parvathi in the alleged Mysuru Urban Development Authority (Muda) scam, after opposition BJP claimed irregularities and a loss of around Rs 4,000 crore to the exchequer through fraudulent land allotments. The one-member panel headed by retired high court judge Justice PN Desai submitted its six-volume report to chief secretary Shalini Rajneesh, nearly a year after it was formed. A senior MLA familiar with the report's contents said Thursday the panel found no illegality in the allotment of 14 alternative sites to Siddaramaiah's wife in exchange for 3 acres acquired by Muda in Kesare village of Mysuru. The panel rejected allegations of misuse of office and ruled out any involvement of the CM in wider allotment irregularities. The findings mark a relief for Siddaramaiah, who already secured legal reprieve in July when Supreme Court dismissed a special leave petition filed by ED. The agency had challenged a Karnataka HC order quashing its notice to Parvathi and cabinet minister Byrathi Suresh. Earlier this year, Karnataka Lokayukta had cleared Siddaramaiah of wrongdoing.
