Congress Leader BK Hariprasad Compares Karnataka MLA To โ€œProstituteโ€

Congress

โ€œCongress leader Rahul Gandhi is claiming that Congress will share the love. Congress leaders give this kind of statement in Karnataka, so I wonder what Rahul Gandhi will say to this,โ€ Prakash added.

Hosapete: Senior Karnataka Congress leader BK Hariprasad stoked a controversy by using derogating remarks against party MLAs who joined BJP.

Slamming state minister Anand Singh and other turncoats for switching parties, Leader of the Opposition in Karnataka Legislative Council Hariprasad compared them with โ€œprostitutesโ€. Singh quit Congress in 2019 to join the BJP. He was among the 17 MLAs of the then Congress and JD(S)-led coalition government in Karnataka who resigned from the party and crossed over to the BJP.

โ€œWhen you didnโ€™t give a clear mandate, we formed a coalition govt. We call by different names a woman who sells her body for food, we call her a prostitute. I leave it to you what youโ€™ll call MLAs who sold themselves. Teach a lesson to local MLA in polls,โ€ Hariprasad said during a public meeting in Hosapete.

โ€œYou have to teach a lesson to the local MLA who sold everything including his self-respect,โ€ he said while referring to Anand Singh.

While talking to ANI, BJP leader S Prakash said, โ€œthey should not use such low-level words, few days ago, the Congress party compared the CM to a dog, now calling BJP MLAs โ€œprostitutesโ€ shows their culture.โ€

โ€œCongress leader Rahul Gandhi is claiming that Congress will share the love. Congress leaders give this kind of statement in Karnataka, so I wonder what Rahul Gandhi will say to this,โ€ Prakash added.

Bill Tabled In US House To Terminate Pakistanโ€™s โ€˜Non-NATO Allyโ€™ Status

ANI

The bill seeks a certification that contains a determination that Pakistan has taken steps to demonstrate its commitment to preventing the Haqqani Network from using any Pakistani territory as a safe haven.

Washington: A US lawmaker has introduced a bill titled โ€œTo terminate the designation of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan as a major non-NATO ally, and for other purposesโ€ in the US Congress that seeks to cancel the designation of Pakistan as a Major Non-NATO Ally (MNNA).

The bill tabled by US Congressman Andy Biggs on January 9, removes Pakistanโ€™s designation as a major non-NATO ally, a status that allows for various benefits such as access to excess US defence supplies and makes countries eligible for loans of material, supplies, or equipment for cooperative research, development, testing, or evaluation purposes. Pertaining to Pakistan, the bill elaborated that the US President cannot issue a separate designation of Pakistan as a Major NATO ally unless a presidential certification states that Pakistan continues to conduct military operations that are contributing to significantly disrupting the safe haven and freedom of movement of the Haqqani Network in Pakistan.

The bill seeks a certification that contains a determination that Pakistan has taken steps to demonstrate its commitment to preventing the Haqqani Network from using any Pakistani territory as a safe haven.

The certification must further certify that the Government of Pakistan actively coordinates with the Government of Afghanistan to restrict the movement of militants, such as the Haqqani Network, along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border; and that Pakistan has shown progress in arresting and prosecuting Haqqani Network senior leaders and mid-level operatives.

The MNNA status was first created in 1987 and is a designation that is a powerful symbol of a close relationship with the United States. While MNNA status provides military and economic privileges, it does not entail any security commitments to the designated country.

With Afghanistanโ€™s status rescinded last year, the US has 17 major non-NATO allies, according to the US State Department. They are Argentina, Australia, Bahrain, Brazil, Colombia, Egypt, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Kuwait, Morocco, New Zealand, Pakistan, the Philippines, Qatar, South Korea, Thailand and Tunisia.
Pakistan was named a MNNA during the Bush administration in 2004.
