Today, On 4th July, Karnataka High Court has stayed BJP’s defamation case against Congress and DK Shivakumar over ads calling the previous Basavaraj Bommai-led government a “40% commission sarkar,” accusing it of corruption in contracts and COVID-related supplies.
Karnataka Governor Gehlot has referred the Muslim reservation bill to President Droupadi Murmu, citing constitutional concerns and a Supreme Court judgment. The bill proposed 4% reservation for Muslims in government contracts. Gehlot emphasized religion-based reservations contradict the Constitution and could undermine its principles, particularly with ongoing Supreme Court scrutiny.
