Hassan, Apr 7: Echoing BJP senior leader L.K. Advani’s words, former Chief Minister S.M. Krishna said it was unacceptable to call those criticising Prime Minister Narendra Modi or the BJP as anti-nationals.

Speaking to presspersons here on Friday, Mr. Krishna said the Constitution had given the right to every individual to express his or her opinion.

“Everybody has a right and we cannot compromise on the rights guaranteed by the Constitution. Nobody should be called anti-national for criticising Modi. He himself would not approve of this,” he said.

Answering a question, Mr. Krishna said he had announced that he would not contest any election.

“I have kept my word. Some people have a different meaning for the word — last election — in their dictionary.” He clarified that he would not accept any position if Mr. Modi came back to power.

Mr. Krishna campaigned for BJP candidate A.Manju at Gandasi in Arasikere taluk, Hagare, and a few other places in Belur taluk.

Mangaluru police have arrested a 27-year-old NRI on his return from Saudi Arabia in connection with an Instagram post allegedly containing derogatory and provocative remarks about the Hindu religion, officials said on Monday.

The accused, Abdul Khader Nehad, a resident of Ulaibettu in Mangaluru, was working in Saudi Arabia when the post was uploaded, police said.

A suo motu case was registered at the Bajpe police station on October 11 after an allegedly offensive post circulated from the Instagram account ‘team_sdpi_2025’. Police said the content was flagged for being provocative and derogatory in nature.

During the investigation, technical analysis traced the Instagram post to Nehad, who was residing abroad at the time, a senior police officer said. Based on these findings, a Look Out Circular (LOC) was issued against him.

On December 14, Nehad arrived from Saudi Arabia at Calicut International Airport in Kerala, where he was taken into custody on arrival. Police said further investigation is underway.
