My government committed to women’s safety, security: Modi

March 8, 2019 by Nasheman

Nasheman News : The central government is fully committed to women’s safety, security and empowerment for which it has rolled out several schemes, programmes and projects, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said here on Friday.

Addressing a gathering of women at a convention of the National Livelihood Mission, coinciding with the International Women’s Day, Modi said that it was his good fortune that earlier in the day he had the privilege to kickstart the work on the Kashi Vishwanath Corridor, a project taken up by Ahilya Bai more than 200 years ago.

“On the International Women’s Day, I bow to women power and salute every daughter and mother in this country as they are engaged in many ways in nation building and realizing the idea of a New India,” he said.

He also referred to the bravery and valour of the Indian defence personnel and said that it were only due to the blessings of “mothers and sisters” that the soldiers were involved in protecting the nation.

Referring to Ganga river, Rani Laxmi Bai and Ahilya Bai Holkar, the Prime Minister said that all of them had a connection with Kashi and in their own ways they contributed immensely to what Kashi is known for. 

While Mother Ganga provides salvation to all, Laxmi Bai sounded the bugle against the British and sowed the seeds of freedom while Holkar initiated the revamp of the Kashi Vishwanath temple, Modi said.

Many schemes of his government like providing help during pregnancy, extension of maternity leave, free immunization and provision of capital punishment for rapists were meant for women’s safety, security and empowerment.

‘Shown me my place’: Navjot Singh Sidhu

March 8, 2019 by Nasheman

Punjab minister Navjot Singh Sidhu was missing from the list of speakers at Congress president Rahul Gandhi’s Moga rally on Thursday, March 7, 2019.

A controversy erupted after the rally of Congress president Rahul Gandhi at Moga on Thursday after Punjab local bodies minister Navjot Singh Sidhu was not included in the list of speakers.

A miffed Sidhu said it was the first time after former chief minister Parkash Singh Badal’s rally in Amritsar in 2004 that he has not been allowed to speak. Sidhu was then Amritsar MP from the BJP.

“If I am not good enough to speak at Rahul’s rally, I am not good enough as a speaker and a campaigner. Whether I am invited to speak or not is something that is not under my control. But it has shown me my place and made it clear who all from the Congress will campaign for the party in the coming Lok Sabha polls,” Sidhu said.

Punjab Congress president Sunil Jakhar said Sidhu should have been among the speakers and not inviting him to speak was an oversight. “Sidhu is our party’s star campaigner. It was an oversight on part of the party. Rahul ji asked me if all had spoken, when he (Rahul) was invited to speak. I told him I do not know as I had come with him,” Jakhar said.

The event was anchored by state cooperation minister Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa, whose department was the organiser of the debt waiver function. Randhawa said he was asked by chief minister Captain Amarinder Singh and All India Congress Committee general secretary in-charge of Punjab affairs, Asha Kumari, to name just four speakers.

“I was told that Rahul ji was getting late for another rally at Kangra in Himachal so only Jakhar, the CM, Asha Kumari and Rahul ji will speak. Had I been told Sidhu too is to be invited, I would have called him. He is our party’s star campaigner and I enjoy a good rapport with him,” Randhawa said.

Sidhu, who had prepared to take on Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Balakot airstrikes, said he could not speak to Rahul too as the Congress president had to rush to Kangra. The Punjab chief minister and Sidhu have taken divergent stands on the airstrikes, with Sidhu questioning the BJP on the number of casualties and Amarinder saying that the “message that acts of terror would not go unpunished was more important than whether one militant was killed in the airstrikes or 100”.

“Fight for your space and don’t consider yourself less than anyone,” he said.

He also said that while around eight women are getting raped every day, only seven victims are getting justice per year.

KGF’ success has boosted morale of Kannada film industry: Yash

March 8, 2019 by Nasheman

Nasheman News : Actor Yash believes the phenomenal success of “KGF: Chapter 1”, which struck gold at the box office and won over audiences across languages, has given the Kannada movie industry a platform to dream big and make films without inhibitions.

Prashant Neel-directed “KGF” is the first Kannada film to breach into the Rs 200 crore club worldwide.

The film was dubbed and released in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi and Malayalam. It did exceptionally well in all languages.

“The success of ‘KGF’ means a lot to the Kannada industry, especially to a lot of our talented technicians who don’t get the due they deserve. This success has boosted the morale of Kannada industry. It has justified the talent of Prashant Neel,” Yash told media in an interview.

He said the success of “KGF” has made people take Kannada industry “seriously”.

“The perception about Kannada industry has changed. People across industries are now taking us seriously. A lot of our talented technicians have been looking for a platform and ‘KGF’ has provided them that pedestal. This success means a lot to all the untapped talent of our industry,” he said.

Yash still sounds grounded, in spite of delivering one of the biggest blockbusters in recent times. He said he doesn’t like to dwell upon success or failure for too long.

“If you dwell upon success or failure for too long, you can’t move ahead and achieve what you want. I’m glad ‘KGF’ turned out to be a blockbuster, but honestly the process of making the film excited me more than the result. As an actor, this success would help me take bigger steps,” he explained.

It has been over three months since the release of “KGF” and it is all set for its television premiere on Sony Max on March 9.

Yash is eagerly looking forward to the TV premiere. He says as much as people enjoy watching movies in cinemas and on streaming platforms, the reach of television is still unprecedented.

“Given the population of our country and considering how many people actually show up in cinemas to watch a film, I believe the reach of television is still phenomenal and is a big deal. A lot of people who watch a film in theatre would like to revisit it on TV with their entire family and that’s why television premieres are important,” he said.

Yash is gearing up to commence shooting for “KGF: Chapter 2” from April. He says it will be “bigger” and “better” than the first part.

“When we made ‘KGF: Chapter 1’, we had our own inhibitions and restricted ourselves in some way. But with this kind of success in our side, we are going all out to make the second part. We now know people are keenly looking forward to the second part and we can deliver it without any reservations. We have reserved the best for chapter 2,” he added.

March 8, 2019 by Nasheman

By Parmesh Jain

“Gangster Lakshmana, accused of murder, attempted murder, abduction, and land grabbing, was killed by a gang of 5 men”.

A notorious rowdy-sheeter was brutally murdered in a clash between two gangs, just two days after he was released from jail.
Rowdy-sheeter Laxmana was murdered in front of an apartment near ISKCON temple on Rajkumar Road.
In a broad day light Rowdy Sheeter Lakshmana alias Rama Lakshmana was brutally murdered in Bengaluru on Thursday afternoon near Mysore Sandal Soap Factory by a gang of five men who attacked him with Sharp lethal weapons after spraying chilli powder on him.
The deceased has been identified as Lakshmana alias Rama Lakshmana aged about 38 year old a renowned Rowdy Sheeter of Kengeri Police station limits.
Senior police officer told media persons that,In the mid 2000s, twin brothers Rama and Lakshmana, natives of Kunigal town in Tumakuru, began their criminal activities in Bengaluru and within a few years were on the Bengaluru Police’s list of Class A criminals.The twins, who associated themselves with the local gangsters of Magadi Road and Kamakshipalya in Bengaluru, shot to infamy in the city’s underworld due to their involvement in land grabbing activities. several murder cases in which Lakshmana has been involved, the twin brothers shot to infamy after the brutal murder of a rival gangster Machcha Manja in 2005.Machcha Manja,who was returning home after distributing his wedding invitation was chased by Rama and Lakshmana along with 40 others and hacked to death in Bengaluru’s Yelahanka. At the time,another gangster associated with the twin brothers,Koti Rama, was also arrested in connection with the case. Lakshmana was out on bail,while Koti Rama remained in the Chitradurga prison as he was accused of contracting the murder of a local politician in Mysuru.Koti Rama and Lakshmana became rivals during this period simply because Lakshmana was not sending Koti Rama money while he was in prison.Once Lakshmana was out of prison in 2005,he allegedly affiliated himself with other gangsters,who were rivals of Koti Rama and another of his former associate Slum Bharata.

Koti Rama and Slum Bharat are currently being suspected of Lakshmana’s murder.The brothers had affiliated themselves with local gangsters in the area and became the point-men for big time dons to hire them to extort and grab land from people across Bengaluru.These guys have been involved in grabbing land since the late 1990s.They kept shifting their loyalties to various dons in the city and they were also encouraged by their family members in Kunigal to get involved in the city’s underworld.They were known for blackmailing people into selling them the land.The brothers would threaten people take away their original property documents and force the victims to sign the sale deed,which they drafted to suit their needs.They have several murder cases registered against them across police stations in the city.In 2013, the CCB’s Organised Crime Wing arrested Lakshmana’s brother Rama after they raided the Jnanabharathi campus.Rama was arrested for the attempt to murder of his rival gangster Cycle Ravi.The twins kept shifting bases from Kunigal to Kamakshipalya, making it difficult for the police to arrest them.Last year, the police arrested notorious land shark Mirle Varadaraj and booked him for illegally grabbing land worth Rs 500 crore.Upon his arrest in December last year,the police learnt that gangster Lakshmana was the enforcer. “When Mirle Varadaraj wanted to grab land, it was Lakshmana who would do all the dirty work. Lakshmana would approach parties interested in selling properties by posing as a real estate agent. He would take the original documents from the victims and never return it.He would then threaten them and get the properties transferred to Mirle’s name.If a landowner decided to go ahead with any kind of construction, Lakshmana would bring his henchmen and demolish the structures. He would also resort to brutal assault to threaten the victims.In December 2018, the police arrested Lakshmana after a family from Jagajyothi Layout in Bengaluru complained to the police that Lakshmana had illegally occupied their house for two years and was refusing to vacate. He was released on bail only a week ago.Lakshmana has been a rowdy-sheeter for two decades now.He had also affiliated himself to a few political leaders recently. These rowdy sheeters come in and out of prison. Many of them hatch conspiracies to commit murders, thefts and abductions while they are in prison.Rivalries between rowdies are common.They convert their plans into action once they come out of jail either on bail or on parole.He succumbed to injuries while he was being taken to the hospital by the locals.Mahalaxmi Layout police with other neighbouring Station Police inspectors with other senior official and staff rushed to spot and cordoned the crime scene and we have registered a case and are investigating the murder and special teams has been formed by DCP North,Shashi Kumar and we will solve the murder case soon he added.

DCP North,Shashi Kumar,who immediately rushed to the spot after the incident took place after inspecting the spot and collecting all the information about the Rowdy Sheeter Lakshmana alias Rama Lakshmana he told media persons that,We have been informed that between 12.45 pm to 1 pm in Mahalakshmi Layout a dreaded rowdy sheeter Lakshmana has been murdered going by the injuries on his body he was murdered using sharp weapons Lakshman was stopped and attacked by group of men who were in Scorpio Car.We have received a complaint from the family and will catch hold of the culprits as soon as possible special teams have been formed to nab the culprits and the case will be solved soon An investigation into the matter is underway he added.
Lakshman was released from prison just two days ago after a police raid at his residence led to the discovery of incriminating documents and unaccounted cash. Lakshman, along with his brother Rama were declared notorious criminals by the Kengeri police station and had several cases against them.The brutal murder in broad daylight has raised serious questions at the law and order situation in Bengaluru.
