ED files chargesheet against Karnataka Congress chief Shivakumar

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Thursday submitted a charge sheet against Karnataka Congress President D.K. Shivakumar.
The development is seen as a major setback for Shivakumar and the Congress in Karnataka.
The case is based on an Income Tax Department charge sheet filed against Shivakumar and others before a Bengaluru court for alleged tax evasion.
Reacting to the development, Congress MP D.K. Suresh, brother of Shivakumar, said on Thursday that the charges against his brother are politically motivated and they will not bow down before the BJP government.
“We will ask our advocate to get a copy from the court,” Suresh added.
He said Shivakumar and the Congress would continue to fight the BJP government in the state.
“Let them (BJP) do everything. It has been eight years since the BJP came to power at the Centre. All institutions have been misused,” Suresh said.
He added, “We don’t expect justice from the BJP. We are ready to face any consequences. There is no question to fear any action.”
Suresh was the only Congress candidate to win 2019 Lok Sabha elections from Karnataka.
The ED is investigating the money laundering allegations against Shivakumar for which he was sent to Tihar jail. However, later Shivakumar got bail.
The charge sheet has been submitted to the special court in New Delhi.
The ED sleuths have filed the charge sheet after more than two-and-a-half years after the raids were conducted on Shivakumar’s residence and offices in Bengaluru and New Delhi.
The raids were conducted by the Income Tax department which recovered Rs eight crore in cash at his Safdarjung Road residence in New Delhi. The case was then handed over to the ED.
The ED sleuths after interrogating Shivakumar had arrested him.
With the submission of the charge sheet, sources say that there are possibilities that Shivakumar may be arrested again.
The ED case against state Congress President will have a direct impact on the 2023 state Assembly elections.
Meanwhile, the state Congress President cancelled all his programmes on Thursday and took part in ‘Chandika Homam’ (worship to Maa Durga) along with family members.
Family sources said the religious function is being organised every year by Shivakumar.

Muslim religious leader hails ‘Operation Sindoor’, slams Pak for ‘spreading poison’ in name of Islam

Aligarh, May 12: Muslim religious leader Maulana Chaudhary Ibrahim Hussain on Monday strongly praised the Indian armed forces for the successful execution of ‘Operation Sindoor’ and sharply criticised Pakistan for using religious institutions like mosques and madrasas to train terrorists.
“India destroyed Pakistan’s terrorist bases. This is a huge achievement. No one in the world has ever carried out such precise destruction of terror camps inside Pakistan, and our forces even returned safely after striking military bases. This is an even greater accomplishment,” he said.
Responding to Pakistan’s claims that madrasas and mosques were targeted, the Maulana asserted, “They say we attacked their mosques and madrasas, but what kind of mosques and madrasas are these where terror is trained and humanity is destroyed? These places are meant for worship and spreading humanity, not for breeding terror.”
He condemned the misuse of Islamic symbols for terrorism, saying, “Which Islam allows such interpretation that terrorism is spread in the name of religion? They are not Muslims; they are terrorists and devils who want to poison society by distorting Islam.”
Ibrahim Hussain stressed that terrorism is a betrayal of the core values of Islam.
“They use the name of Islam to manipulate innocent minds, to mislead the common man emotionally, and drag them into terrorism. But Islam stands for peace, not violence.”
Calling for the total elimination of terrorism, he added, “Our military’s action has made every Indian proud. But the only way to defeat terrorism is to uproot it completely. Even if one terrorist remains, he will use deceit and mislead others in the name of Islam. So it must be destroyed from its roots.”
The Maulana’s remarks come amid growing support across communities in India for the operation, seen as a strong message to terror groups and their state sponsors.
