Yeddyurappa Back in Jail From Hospital

Former Chief Minister of Karnataka BS Yeddyurappa has been discharged from Victoria Hospital and is back in Bangalore's Central Jail, where he spent only a few hours last Saturday before being rushed to hospital. Last night, after meeting him, Karnataka minister V Somanna said Mr Yeddyurappa wanted to return to jail as he was "frustrated" with media reports that accused him of feigning illness as a way to avoid prison.

Mr Yeddyurappa was arrested over the weekend for misusing his office while he was Chief Minister to help his two sons get prized public land at throwaway prices. He had surrendered after a Lokayukta court denied him bail. The court sent him to judicial custody till October 22, Saturday next.
 
But within hours of being lodged in jail, Mr Yeddyurappa complained of breathlessness and chest pains and was moved to hospital. When doctors at the state-run Jayadeva Institute of Cardiology discharged him yesterday, saying his condition appeared to be stable, Mr Yeddyurappa checked into the Victoria Hospital, known for its specialized medical treatment. Doctors in two different hospitals declared Mr Yeddyurappa fit to return to jail. His application for interim bail is scheduled to be heard tomorrow in the Karnataka High Court. 
 

Modi Is Not Our PM: Owaisi

MIM is a recognized state political party based in the Indian state of Telangana, with its head office in the old city of Hyderabad, which has its roots in the Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen founded in 1927. Unlike most of the regional and national level parties, MIM party leaders ‘fight’ only for the well-being of Muslims, whereas no other party has such communal feelings. In their each and every speech, MIM leaders speak only about Muslims. If these leaders are here to fight for Muslims, then why there are no development works are happening in old city area for decades. Akbaruddin Owaisi faced criticism for making hate remarks on Narendra Modi and Hindus. Recently, his elder brother Asaduddin Owaisi made some notorious annotations. In a one-on-one debate between BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra and Asaduddin Owaisi on the topic of demonetization in a popular Hindi channel, the former left no stone unturned in exposing the latter’s communal designs. Owaisi claimed how most of the Muslim community still remains unbanked and that demonetization has caused severe inconvenience to Muslims. He even went on to say that ATM’s in Muslim-dominated areas weren’t fed enough money. He indirectly alleged that the Modi government hadn’t done anything for Muslims. Even after being pressurized Owaisi didn’t call Narendra Modi as his Prime Minister. He went on said, “Your Prime Minister…” On the other hand, Sambit spoke wisely and called Owaisi a leader of small stature because he talked only of Muslims. He said that no area was Muslim or Hindu and that all areas belonged to India. Owaisi was constantly quoting an RBI report, to which Sambit challenged him to show where the RBI had used the word ‘Muslim’. Sambit even said that if a Muslim leader speaks of Muslims it’s not an issue, but the moment a VHP leader speaks of Hindus people go crazy accusing them of imposing the Hindutva ideology. The most amazing of his counters was to Owaisi’s claims of Muslims not having been brought into the banking system. Sambit said that when banks or ATMs are to be opened in Muslim areas leaders like Owaisi shout that banking is un-Islamic and that Muslims should refrain from it! This video of debate between Sambit Patra and Asaduddin Owaisi is going viral in social media.
