Maintain Hindu fabric of the country; can solve economic issues later: Subramanian Swamy

Belagavi, Nov 8: BJP leader and controversial “economist” Subramanian Swamy has urged the government and people to give priority to Hinduism over solving economic issues of the country.

Delivering a talk on “Intellectual Terrorism” organised by Prabhudha Bharat organisation at the KLE Centenary Convention Hall recently, Swamy said that economic issues could be resolved at any time, but continuous efforts should be made in maintaining the true Hindu fabric of the country.

He claimed that he was behind the ouster of Raghuram Rajan from the RBI. He is not an economist at all. I thank the Modi government for supporting my move, he said.

‘Rahul and Sonia will be jailed’

He ridiculed Congress leaders and said AICC president Sonia Gandhi and vice-president Rahul Gandhi would go to jail soon for their involvement in several scams. It is not Indian National Congress. It is Italian Congress party, he said.

He defined intellectual terrorism as “something that makes you believe what you should not and do what you should not”.

He said he was not anti–Muslim, but expected them to live in cultural harmony with Hindus while following theological principles of the Holy Quran. Muslim women supported BJP in U.P. as it was the only party talking against triple Talaq, he said. He also said that Muslim women should be given inheritance rights to property (Interestingly, Muslim women have been enjoying the property inheritance rights since the beginning).

Kamal Haasan slammed

Swamy also criticised actor Kamal Haasan over his remarks on “Hindu terror.” He said actors were trying to enter politics in Tamil Nadu after their cinematic careers were fading.

He said there was no need to give much importance to Tipu Sultan as he had fought the British after taking money from the French, who were opposed to them. He also held socialism responsible for keeping the country backward.

Rajya Sabha member and KLE chairman Prabhakar Kore, Suresh Angadi, MP, industrialist Vijay Usalkar, Chaitanya Kulkarni of Prabuddha Bharat, and others were present.

No one including his own party takes him seriously,he is looking for some green pastures since the BJP came in to power.This statement is to please his RSS boses.Alas,no use-Modi or Shah never ever will induct him to any considerable position.

What is wrong to others is right to him. Being verbally pugnacious is integral to his personality. Promotion of Brand Swamy is essential for his survival and Twitter is an important platform for his often ludicrous comments and observations. keep Spitting Swamy!

I can say Modi is the best intelligent person in the world. And he should get business man of the year award. 

Because,

 

1. Modi made huge benefit to Paytm (paytm ceo didnt do this much profit for his company)

 

2. Modi made profit to the private agency which made/maintaning aadhar things.

3. Modi made profit to Jio

 

4. Modi made profit to big companies by implementing demonetisation and GST (same time it affected badly on small scale retailer shop)

Mangaluru, Dec 16: The Mangaluru City police have significantly escalated their campaign against drug trafficking, arresting 25 individuals and booking 12 cases under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act between November 30 and December 13. The crackdown resulted in the seizure of a substantial quantity of illicit substances, including 685.6 grams of MDMA and 1.5 kg of ganja.

The success of this recent drive has been significantly boosted by the city’s innovative, QR code-based anonymous reporting system.

"The anonymous reporting system has received an encouraging response. Several recent arrests were made based on inputs received through this system, helping police tighten the noose around drug peddlers," said the City Police Commissioner.

The latest arrests contribute to a robust year-to-date record, underscoring the police's relentless commitment to combating the drug menace.

Up to December 14 this year, the police have registered a total of 107 cases of drug peddling, leading to the arrest of 219 peddlers. Furthermore, they have booked 562 cases of drug consumption, resulting in the arrest of 671 individuals.

The scale of the seizure for the year reflects the magnitude of the problem being tackled: police have seized 320.6 kg of ganja worth ₹88.7 lakh and 1.4 kg of MDMA valued at ₹1.2 crore. Other significant seizures include hydro-weed ganja worth ₹94.7 lakh and cocaine worth ₹1.9 lakh, among others.

The Commissioner emphasized a policy of rigorous enforcement: "We ensure that peddlers are caught red-handed so that they cannot later dispute the case or claim innocence."

To counter the rising trend of substance abuse among youth, the Mangaluru City police have rolled out uniform guidelines for random drug testing across educational institutions.

As part of the drive, tests were conducted in approximately 100 institutions, screening an estimated 5,500 to 6,000 students in the first phase. 20 students tested positive for drug consumption during the initial screening.

Students who tested positive have been provided counselling and are scheduled for re-testing in the second quarter. The testing will also be expanded to students not covered in the first phase. In a move to ensure strict implementation, police personnel were deployed in mufti in some institutions. Reiterating a zero-tolerance stance, the Commissioner confirmed that random testing will continue, and colleges have also been instructed to conduct drug tests at the time of admission to deter substance abuse from an early stage.

Mangaluru, Dec 15: Air India Express has announced that it will resume direct flight services between Mangaluru and Muscat from March 2026, restoring an important international air link for passengers from the coastal region.

Airport authorities said the service will operate twice a week—on Sundays and Tuesdays—from March 1. The initial flights are scheduled on March 3, 8 and 10, followed by March 15 and 17, with the same operating pattern to continue thereafter. The flight duration is approximately three hours and 25 minutes.

The Mangaluru–Muscat route was earlier operated under the 2025 summer schedule, with services beginning on July 14. At that time, Air India Express had operated four flights a week before suspending the service.

Officials said the summer schedule will come into effect from March 29, after which changes in flight timings and departure schedules from Mangaluru are expected. Passengers have been advised to check the latest schedules while planning their travel.

The resumption of direct flights to Muscat is expected to significantly benefit expatriates, business travellers and others, further strengthening Mangaluru’s air connectivity with the Gulf region.

Mangaluru, Dec 7: A 34-year-old fruit and vegetable trader in Mangaluru has reportedly lost ₹33.1 lakh after falling victim to an online investment scam run through a fake mobile app.

Police said the scam began in September, when the victim received a link on Facebook. Clicking it connected him to a WhatsApp number, where an unidentified person introduced a high-return investment scheme and instructed him to download an app.

To build trust, the fraudster asked him to invest ₹30,000 on September 24. The trader soon received ₹34,000 as “profit,” convincing him the scheme was genuine. Over the next two months, he transferred money in multiple instalments via Google Pay and IMPS to different scanner codes and bank accounts shared by the scammers. Between September 24 and December 3, he ended up sending a total of ₹33.1 lakh.

When he later requested a refund of his investment and promised returns, the scammers demanded additional payments, claiming he needed to pay a “service tax” first. Even after he paid a small amount, no money was returned, and the scammers continued pressuring him for more.

A case has been registered at the CEN Crime Police Station.
