Jagan Appears Before CBI in Gali Janardhan Reddy case

Kadapa MP and YSR Congress president, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy was issued notice by the CBI to appear before it on Friday for questioning in connection with alleged illegal mining and irregularities in allotment of leases to a firm owned by former Karnataka Tourism Minister Gali Janardhan Reddy. The sources said that Jagan will be questioned by CBI officials under section 161 CrPC.

Accordingly, Jagan appeared before the central probe agency at Koti in Hyderabad at around 10.30 am. The CBI is probing alleged nexus between Mr. Jagan and Mr. Janardhana Reddy whose company OMC has been accused of violating mining norms in the Anantapur district of Andhra Pradesh. Jagan Mohan Reddy will be questioned only in connection with the mining case and not with regard to his alleged disproportionate assets matter, CBI officials had on Thursday said.

The clearance for mining leases to OMC was given during the tenure of Rajasekhara Reddy as Chief Minister. The CBI recently questioned the then cabinet colleagues of late Rajasekhara Reddy including State Home Minister Sabitha Indra Reddy (who was then Mining Minister) in connection with the mining scam as it found that mining leases for OMC were cleared in an unusual haste, sources had earlier said.
 

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.
