Bengaluru, Oct 18: Former Karnataka minister and senior BJP leader S Suresh Kumar on Monday said RSS workers should be allowed to arm themselves.

Addressing a protest in Shivajina gar against the murder of RSS worker Rudresh R by two motorcycle-borne men, Suresh Kumar said if police are unable to provide protection to RSS workers, they should be allowed to carry weapons.

"The murders of Kuttappa, Praveen Poojari, Raju and Rudresh (all RSS wor kers) make it clear that police are not able to protect them.

We have asked the police commissioner to give us weapon licences if they can't protect our workers," he elaborated later when asked to explain his remark. "We are not victims. We are warriors. We know how to protect ourselves," Suresh Kumar said.

However, the RSS and other senior BJP leaders didn't back his statement.

The former law minister said the government and police have time and again failed to protect RSS workers and the organization is being repeatedly targeted. He claimed state police are under political pressure to not act against the culprits. Senior BJP leader Shobha Karandlaje, who addressed the protest, alleged the killings are part of a conspiracy.

Earlier, the former minister told the protesters a trend similar to that in Kerala and Tamil Nadu, where several RSS workers have been killed, is emerging in Karnataka. He demanded police to take measures to ensure Karnataka doesn't become another Kerala.

Distancing itself from Suresh Kumar's statement, sources in the RSS said they have confidence in police and the judiciary, and will continue to stage peaceful protests to get justice in the Rudresh murder case.

Asked about Suresh Kumar's statement on arming RSS workers, former home minister R Ashoka andLok Sabha member PC Mohan said that was their colleague's personal opinion. The issue was neither discussed in party meetings nor is it the party's stand, they added.

Donkey never disobedient to its master... whatever loaded on it, it will take...
Similarly there are few human beings despite lot of evidence of the cheddis involvement in deception... They never want to accept the REALITY of their deception and want to continue like the donkeys take their load.. with their mind filled with lies.

We say wake up guys.. look outside the cheddi installed software in your mind and use your God given intellect.
An intelligent human being will understand when shown with proof... and many times cheddis were caught of their dirty activities of doing their evil acts and blaming others...
Karkera exposed their evil acts...
Writers too exposed them
Bomb blast in their own cell
Saffron IT cell exposed with their fake display of nationalism
JNU video tampered
cheddi wearing burka caught red handed last week...
Cow business exposed too
Pakistan flag hositing too caught red handed
Fake FB account too caught red handed...
Only God knows how much bombs they keep in their own temples to create unrest in the society...

Someone was barking before that 60% of the police are from RRSS....
Where are they NOW ... why dont they Protect Your own men even after we citizens pay from our tax money for their jobs.... U cheddis are useless in taking responsibility to protect the society and now they dont even able to protect their own members..

Are the 60% turned their hearts and became good and thought of helping people rather than continuing supporting the cheddi evils... if it is, then it will be good for the people and the society...

Mangaluru: Chaos erupted at Mangaluru International Airport (MIA) after IndiGo flight 6E 5150, bound for Mumbai, was repeatedly delayed and ultimately cancelled, leaving around 100 passengers stranded overnight. The incident highlights the ongoing country-wide operational disruptions affecting the airline, largely due to the implementation of new Flight Duty Time Limitations (FDTL) norms for crew.

The flight was initially scheduled for 9:25 PM on Tuesday but was first postponed to 11:40 PM, then midnight, before being cancelled around 3:00 AM. Passengers expressed frustration over last-minute communication and the lack of clarity, with elderly and ailing travellers particularly affected. “Though the airline arranged food, there was no proper communication, leaving us confused,” said one family member.

An IndiGo executive at MIA cited the FDTL rules, designed to prevent pilot fatigue by limiting crew working hours, as the cause of the cancellation. While alternative arrangements, including hotel stays, were offered, about 100 passengers chose to remain at the airport, creating tension. A replacement flight was arranged but also faced delays due to the same constraints, finally departing for Mumbai around 1:45 PM on Wednesday. Passengers either flew, requested refunds, or postponed their travel.

The Mangaluru delay is part of a broader crisis for IndiGo. The airline has been forced to make “calibrated schedule adjustments”—a euphemism for widespread cancellations and delays—after stricter FDTL norms came into effect on November 1.

While an IndiGo spokesperson acknowledged unavoidable flight disruptions due to technology issues, operational requirements, and the updated crew rostering rules, the DGCA has intervened, summoning senior airline officials to explain the chaos and outline corrective measures.

The ripple effect has been felt across the country, with major hubs like Bengaluru and Mumbai reporting numerous cancellations. The Mangaluru incident underscores the systemic operational strain currently confronting India’s largest carrier, leaving passengers nationwide grappling with uncertainty and delays.

Bengaluru: 'Nati koli saaru' (country chicken curry) considered one of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s favourites along with steaming hot idlis was on the breakfast menu at Deputy CM D K Shivakumar’s residence on Tuesday, according to official sources.

The spread also included 'nati koli' fry, vada and pongal, among other items, they said.

In an apparent show of unity, Siddaramaiah visited Shivakumar’s residence for breakfast, just days after the two leaders shared a meal amid a simmering power tussle in the state Congress.

Siddaramaiah drove to the Deputy CM’s residence in Sadashivanagar, where he was received by Shivakumar and his brother D K Suresh, who is a former Congress MP.

Suresh and Kunigal MLA H D Ranganath, a relative of Shivakumar, joined them for breakfast, which featured a mix of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes.

Speaking to reporters later, Siddaramaiah said Shivakumar had invited him during his visit to the CM’s residence for breakfast on Saturday.

Asked about the difference between the two meals, the chief minister said, "At his (Shivakumar’s) house it was non-veg, while at my house it was veg. He is a vegetarian, I am a non-vegetarian. I had not prepared non-veg. I told DK to get chicken from the village as you won’t get the original in Bengaluru."

Shivakumar said he had initially invited Siddaramaiah to his residence, but the CM had suggested visiting his place first and reciprocating later. "It was a vegetarian breakfast at the CM’s house on Saturday," he noted.

"Today, I invited him (the CM) to my house. He enjoyed the breakfast, which had his Mysuru taste," Shivakumar added. At this point, Siddaramaiah remarked that Shivakumar’s wife is also from Mysuru.

Saturday’s breakfast at Siddaramaiah’s official residence, held as part of efforts by the Congress high command to ease tensions in the leadership dispute between the two, reportedly included idlis and sambar, according to official sources.
