Bengaluru, May 4: The BJP and Congress are repeatedly targetting the JD(S) because they are scared that the regional party will come to power, JD(S) state president H D Kumaraswamy said here Thursday.

“That both national parties are targetting and critiquing the JD(S) makes one thing clear: They are beginning to fear us,” Kumaraswamy tweeted.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, after having praised JD(S) supremo H D Deve Gowda, came down hard on the regional party, accusing it of joining hands with “highly extremist and communalist forces.”

Congress president Rahul Gandhi has termed the JD(S) as “Janata Dal (Sangh Parivar).” On its part, the JD(S) leadership has maintained that it will not join hands with any party in the event of a hung Assembly.

“Both parties are being troubled by the nightmare of the JD(S) coming to power. Our party will neither fear such cynicism nor bog down to anybody’s praise,” Kumaraswamy stated.

Mangaluru, Dec 2: Mangaluru International Airport responded to a medical emergency late on Monday night. Air India Express flight IX 522, travelling from Riyadh to Thiruvananthapuram, was diverted to Mangaluru Airport after a passenger in his late 30s experienced a medical emergency on board.

The Airport’s Operations Control Centre received an alert regarding the passenger’s health condition. The airport activated its emergency response protocol, mobilising the airport medical team and coordinating with stakeholders including CISF, immigration, and customs.

Upon landing, airport medical personnel attended to the passenger, assessed his condition, and arranged to shift him to a local tertiary-care hospital for further treatment. The passenger’s relatives accompanied the passenger, who incidentally received necessary medical care on board, which helped stabilise the situation.

Following the handling of the emergency, the flight departed for Thiruvananthapuram at 2:05 am on Tuesday.

"We appreciate the cooperation of all parties involved, and this incident reaffirms our ongoing commitment to prioritising passenger safety and readiness to respond to unforeseen emergencies with professionalism and care," the Airport spokesperson said.
