After the meeting that lasted 30 minutes, the chief minister told reporters that he briefed the Union home minister about the situation in the Union territory and the experience of his government in the last two months.
"Yes, I raised the issue of early restoration of statehood with the home minister," Abdullah said, adding that "we hope that Jammu and Kashmir gets its statehood restored soon".
On whether the talks included the militancy situation in the Union territory, he said security and law and order are the responsibility of the lieutenant governor.
"I have always said and I told the home minister that 'you cannot fight militancy and terrorism in a vacuum, you will have to take the public of Jammu and Kashmir in confidence....they will also have to be brought into this battle, and for that, you will have to take into confidence their elected representatives and their elected government'," Abdullah said.
The chief minister said the talks did not include the framing of business rules for the division of powers between the elected government and the lieutenant governor's office and made it clear that the Centre had no role in it.
"Business rules have nothing to do with the government of India. We have to decide it and the Cabinet has to approve it. The Cabinet sub-committee will finalise it and then, we will send it to the LG for approval," he said.
Abdullah will be attending the Goods and Services Tax meeting in Rajasthan's Jaisalmer on December 20. To a question about the proposed hike of 28 per cent on handloom products, he said, "I have not seen such a proposal. If it comes, we will contest it. Not only us, other states will be affected too."
Immediately after Abdullah's meeting ended and he left, Shah began his second meeting with Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha and other senior officers to review the law-and-order situation in the Union territory.
Earlier, Abdullah met with Shah on October 23 during his first visit to the national capital after assuming office on October 16.

An altercation erupts between opposition and NDA MPs at Parliament, leaving two BJP MPs injured. Both sides file police complaints, accusing each other of misconduct, amid ongoing protests over the Ambedkar issue.

Clash Erupts Between BJP and Opposition MPs in Parliament, Two BJP MPs Injured

The BJP charged the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha with pushing an MP leading to injuries to two of its lawmakers, but Gandhi denied it and said it was he who was pushed by a ruling party member.

The acrimonious face-off between the opposition and ruling NDA over alleged insult to B R Ambedkar took an unprecedented ugly turn in Parliament premises on Thursday with claims of pushing and shoving involving MPs, leaving two BJP members hospitalised and a woman BJP MP accusing Rahul Gandhi of "misbehaving" with her.
The BJP charged the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha with pushing an MP leading to injuries to two of its lawmakers, but Gandhi denied it and said it was he who was pushed by a ruling party member while Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge also accused protesting BJP members of shoving him and injuring his knees.
Both sides lodged complaints at Parliament Street police station, blaming each other for what must be a sordid incident without parallel involving MPs within the premises of Parliament. They also complained to the respective Chair in the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha against each other.
BJP MPs Mukesh Rajput and Pratap Chandra Sarangi sustained injuries and were admitted to the RML hospital, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi speaking to them over phone to enquire about their health.
The hospital's Medical Superintendent Dr Ajay Shukla said they had sustained head injuries.
"We have filed a complaint against Mr Rahul Gandhi for physical assault and incitement," BJP MP Anurag Thakur told mediapersons outside the police station.
A number of MPs of the ruling BJP-led National Democratic Alliance were protesting at the steps of Parliament's 'Makar Dwar', an entrance and exit reserved for lawmakers, against the Congress' alleged insult of Ambedkar, while MPs from the Congress and its allies were demonstrating over Union Minister Home Amit Shah's remarks on Ambedkar and accused the BJP of slighting the architect of the Constitution.
BJP MPs claimed that Gandhi tried to push his way inside Parliament through the middle of the stairs where they were standing, ignoring a side passage, and caused injuries in the ensuing jostling. However, some opposition MPs claimed that the BJP members refused to give way to Gandhi who was heading to the Lok Sabha to attend the House proceedings.
Rejecting the BJP members' charge, Gandhi told reporters, "I was trying to enter Parliament and the BJP MPs were stopping me, pushing me and threatening me."
The incident happened some minutes before both Houses were to convene at 11 am.
The 69-year-old Sarangi, a BJP member from Balasore in Odisha and a former minister, suffered injuries on the left temple. BJP member Nishikant Dubey accused Gandhi of pushing the senior leader.
"Are you not ashamed Rahul, you are resorting to rowdy behaviour ('gundagardi'). You pushed an old man," a furious Dubey told Gandhi.
"He pushed me," Gandhi countered Dubey, walking off after having a cursory look at Sarangi, who was being attended to by fellow BJP members. Sarangi was later wheeled off to an ambulance.
"Rahul Gandhi pushed an MP, who fell on me and I got injured," he told reporters as BJP members squatted at the Makar Dwar raising slogans against the Congress.
Hitting out at Gandhi, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said appropriate action would be taken in the matter. "Parliament is not a place to show physical strength. It is not a wrestling ring," he said.
Dubey told reporters, "I am a four-time MP, I have seen something like this for the first time. I have never seen Congress leaders barging into the BJP's protest or BJP members doing the same when Congress protests. Why did the Congress disrupt the BJP's protest today? This shows that their only aim is hooliganism."
A number of ruling alliance MPs, including Union ministers, met their injured colleagues in the hospital as the incident blew up into a major row.
Both Houses witnessed massive uproar amid 'Jai Bhim' chants from both sides and were adjourned without witnessing any transaction.
Congress MPs met Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla and submitted a complaint against the alleged unruly conduct of BJP MPs against Rahul Gandhi and attempts to stop him from entering Parliament House.
Phangnon Konyak, a woman BJP MP from Nagaland, said in the Rajya Sabha that Gandhi came in "very close proximity of me" during a "peaceful" protest and shouted at her. He made her uncomfortable, she said, accusing him of conduct unbecoming of his position as the Leader of Opposition.
Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankar said that he has received a communication from Konyak on the incident and she also met him in his chamber. &ldquo;I am looking into it. She was literally in tears," he said in the House.
The Congress and other opposition parties have seized on a part of Home Minister Amit Shah's reference to Ambedkar in his Rajya Sabha speech on Tuesday to target the BJP and demand his resignation.
Shah, defended by Modi and other senior members of the BJP and its allies, has accused the Congress of distorting his speech. The BJP has instead cited the alleged insults to Ambedkar and neglect of his legacy during the long years of the Congress' rule to launch its counter-protest.
In a letter to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, Kharge claimed he was pushed by BJP MPs, lost his balance and was forced to sit on the ground, injuring his knees that have already undergone surgery. He has demanded an inquiry into the "attack".
As the INDIA bloc parliamentarians came face to face with the ruling coalition MPs in front of the Makar Dwar of Parliament, the two sides engaged in loud sloganeering in a bid to outdo each other.
Opposition MPs took out a protest march on the Parliament premises. MPs of the Congress, DMK, RJD, SP, the Left and NCP(SP), among others, participated in the protest. Several opposition MPs, including Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and K Kanimozhi, were seen wearing blue, a colour associated with Ambedkar.

A group of 70 Hindu pilgrims from India arrive in Lahore to visit the Katas Raj temples, perform religious rituals, and promote peace. The visit includes Bhanu Saptami ceremonies and a new residential complex for pilgrims.

70 Hindu Pilgrims Arrive in Lahore for Katas Raj Temple Rituals

The seven-day pilgrimage will conclude on December 25 and the delegation will return to their home land same day.

Around 70 Hindu pilgrims arrived in Lahore from India on Thursday to perform religious rituals at the Katas Raj temples in Pakistan's Punjab province.
Katas Raj Temples, also known as Qila Katas, is a complex of several Hindu temples connected to one another by walkways. The temple complex surrounds a pond named Katas, regarded as sacred by Hindus.
The Hindu delegation led by Vijay Kumar Sharma arrived here via the Wagah border crossing. It was warmly received by Additional Secretary (Shrines) Saifullah Khokhar and Pakistan Hindu Temple Management Committee President Krishna Sharma.
"Some 71 Hindus arrived here on Thursday to attend festivities at Katas Raj temples. The pilgrims will travel from Lahore to Katas Raj temples in Chakwal, some 300kms from Lahore, via special buses amid high security on Friday," Evacuee Trust Property Board (ETPB) spokesperson Ghulam Mohayuddin told PTI.
On December 21, the pilgrims will perform religious rituals, including Bhanu Saptami, at the temple, joined by several Pakistani Hindus. Evening ceremonies will include the traditional lighting of lamps (Deep Mala).
The seven-day pilgrimage will conclude on December 25 and the delegation will return to their home land same day.
Talking to reporters at Wagah, Sharma expressed gratitude for the warm reception and highlighted that their visit promotes peace and love. He appreciated the arrangements made by the ETPB.
Additional Secretary (Shrines) Saifullah Khokhar said that under the directives of ETPB Chairman Syed Ataur Rehman, comprehensive arrangements, including security, accommodation and transport, have been made for the Hindu pilgrims.
Krishna Sharma, President of the Pakistan Hindu Temple Management Committee, emphasized that Hindu places of worship in Pakistan are safe, and the ETPB continues to oversee their renovation and maintenance.
The ETPB early this month inaugurated a residential complex built for Hindu pilgrims at the Katas Raj temples.
According to the ETPB, a 36-room residential building next to the Katas Raj temples has been constructed at a cost of PKR190 million.
"It has been ensured that Hindu pilgrims coming from all over the world, including India, can stay here with all facilities," Minister for Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony Chaudhry Salik Hussain said at the inaugural ceremony.
He said in addition to improved facilities, 6,000 plants of different species have been planted for the health of the temple's environment and conservation of the heritage has been ensured with modern infrastructure and environmental awareness.
He further said the ETPB has installed a 40-KW solar system and spacious parking facilities at the Katas Raj temples so that Hindu pilgrims and tourists from Pakistan and around the world can enjoy complete facilities.

Delhi Elections: MCD passes proposal to release Rs 25.35 crore for preparations

The total estimated expenditure for these arrangements is expected to be around Rs 25.35 crore, with each polling booth allocated a budget of Rs 19,450.

As the assembly elections approach, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) on Thursday approved a proposal to release Rs 25.35 crore to begin preparations for the polls.
This includes setting up booths, ensuring proper electricity and lighting arrangements, and providing toilets, drinking water and other essential facilities at over 2,500 locations across the city.
A proposal in this regard, marked under urgent business, was passed in the MCD House to release the expenditure required for this as a priority payment.
"In compliance with directions from the Election Commission of India and the Chief Electoral Officer of Delhi to ensure smooth conduct of the General Elections to the Delhi Legislative Assembly, scheduled for January/February 2025, assured minimum facilities are required to be maintained," the proposal read.
According to the passed proposal, the MCD is tasked with setting up approximately 13,033 polling booths at around 2,538 locations within its jurisdiction.
The total estimated expenditure for these arrangements is expected to be around Rs 25.35 crore, with each polling booth allocated a budget of Rs 19,450.
In addition to setting up polling stations, the MCD is responsible for ensuring provisions for ramps to facilitate PwD (Persons with Disabilities) voters and senior citizens.
It will also establish model/pink polling booths in each assembly constituency as well as one PwD polling station and one youth polling station in each district.
Additional attractive features will be added to polling stations based on the local culture and specific requirements.
The other provisions include setting up shaded waiting areas with seating arrangements for those accompanying voters as well as cr&egrave;che facilities for the children who accompany electors.
The assembly elections are due in February next year.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday reviewed the security situation in Jammu and Kashmir, the first such meeting on the Union territory since the assembly elections were held.

Amit Shah reviews J&K security situation

This was Shah's first meeting to review the security situation in the Union territory after the recent assembly elections that brought to power a National Conference government headed by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday reviewed the security situation in Jammu and Kashmir, the first such meeting on the Union territory since the assembly elections were held there during September-October, sources said.
J&amp;K Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha and top officers of the Army, paramilitary forces, J&amp;K administration, intelligence agencies and the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) attended the meeting.
This was Shah's first meeting to review the security situation in the Union territory after the recent assembly elections that brought to power a National Conference government headed by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah.
After the abrogation of Article 370 and the bifurcation of the erstwhile state into two UTs in 2019, law and order in Jammu and Kashmir comes under the central government.
The Union home minister had a detailed discussion on the security roadmap for 2025, the sources said.
Sporadic terror incidents have been continuing in Jammu and Kashmir. On October 20, seven people were killed in a terror attack in central Kashmir. Before that, there were attacks on outsiders working in the Valley.
Shah's meeting is expected to take note of the recent terror incidents and the possible steps to be taken on how to stop such attacks in the coming days, the sources added.
According to official data, 142 terrorists were killed in J&amp;K in 2019 and the number is around 45 so far this year.
Fifty civilians were killed in 2019 in the UT, while the figure stood at 14 by the first week of November this year.

The medical superintendent of the RML Hospital said both the MPs have been administered medicines to manage their blood pressure, pain and anxiety while investigations like CT scan of the head and cardiac tests were underway.

BJP MPs admitted in RML Hospital ICU with head injuries after scuffle with opposition

The medical superintendent of the RML Hospital said both the MPs have been administered medicines to manage their blood pressure, pain and anxiety while investigations like CT scan of the head and cardiac tests were underway.

Two BJP MPs suffered head injuries in a face-off between the opposition and NDA members in Parliament premises on Thursday and were admitted to the ICU of the Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital here.
Pratap Sarangi (69) from Odisha and Mukesh Rajput from Uttar Pradesh were brought to the hospital from Parliament with head injuries, the hospital's Medical Superintendent Dr Ajay Shukla said.
"Sarangi was bleeding profusely. He had a deep cut on his forehead and it had to be stitched. His blood pressure and anxiety level were high when he was brought in," the doctor said.
"Rajput also had a head injury immediately after which he lost consciousness. However, the MP was in his senses when he was brought to the hospital. His blood pressure levels had also shot up," Dr Shukla said.
The medical superintendent of the RML Hospital said both the MPs have been administered medicines to manage their blood pressure, pain and anxiety while investigations like CT scan of the head and cardiac tests were underway.
"Both of them are in ICU. We are trying to stabilise them," the doctor said.
A face-off between the opposition and NDA MPs in Parliament premises over the alleged insult to B R Ambedkar left former minister Pratap Chandra Sarangi injured. The BJP accused Rahul Gandhi of pushing the senior member, a charge rejected by the Congress leader.
Trouble began when the INDIA bloc members insisted on entering Parliament through the BJP MPs holding a protest instead of using the space left empty on one side of the staircase of the Makar Dwar, used by members to enter and exit the building.
Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal said BJP MP Mukesh Rajput was also injured in the melee. Prime Minister Narendra Modi called up Sarangi and Rajput and enquired about their health after they sustained injuries in the Parliament complex, sources said.
The 69-year-old Sarangi, a BJP member from Balasore in Odisha, suffered injuries on the left temple of his forehead. BJP member Nishikant Dubey accused Gandhi of pushing the senior leader.
"Are you not ashamed Rahul, you are resorting to rowdy behaviour ('gundagardi'). You pushed an old man," a furious Dubey charged Gandhi.
"He pushed me," Gandhi countered Dubey, walking off after having a cursory look at Sarangi, who was being attended to by fellow BJP members.
"Rahul Gandhi pushed an MP, who fell on me and I got injured," he told reporters as BJP members squatted at the Makar Dwar raising slogans against the Congress.
"I was trying to enter Parliament and the BJP MPs were stopping me, pushing me and threatening me," Gandhi told reporters in Parliament premises.
Later, Union Ministers Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Pralhad Joshi met Sarangi and the hospital to inquire about his well-being. Chouhan told TV reporters that Sarangi received a few stitches to stop the bleeding.
"Appropriate action will be taken after examining the injuries suffered by Sarangi," Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said. "Parliament is not a place to show physical strength. It is not a wrestling ring," he added.
Congress MPs met Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla and submitted a complaint against the alleged unruly conduct of BJP MPs against Rahul Gandhi and stopping him form entering Parliament House.
In a letter to the Lok Sabha Speaker, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge claimed he was pushed by BJP MPs, lost his balance and was forced to sit on the ground, injuring his knees that have already undergone surgery.
He sought an inquiry into the incident, claiming it was not just an attack on him personally, but on the leader of the Opposition in Rajya Sabha and Congress president.

Kharge, Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, wrote to Birla, claiming he was physically pushed by BJP MPs in Parliament premises following which he lost his balance.

Parliament Protest Melee: Congress claims Kharge pushed, Rahul manhandled

Kharge, Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, wrote to Birla, claiming he was physically pushed by BJP MPs in Parliament premises following which he lost his balance.

Accusing the BJP of lowering the dignity of Parliament, the Congress on Thursday claimed that BJP MPs pushed its chief Mallikarjun Kharge and "physically manhandled" the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi.
In a letter to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, senior Congress MPs asked him to initiate an inquiry into the incident. Separate marches by the opposition and ruling party MPs over the alleged insult to B R Ambedkar led to jostling in Parliament premises in the morning, leaving BJP MPs Pratap Chandra Sarangi and Mukesh Rajput injured.
The BJP accused Rahul Gandhi of pushing the senior member, a charge rejected by the Congress leader.
Several Congress leaders, including Kharge, Rahul Gandhi, Gaurav Gogoi and K C Venugopal, spoke on the matter.
The Congress said BJP MPs had sticks in their hands and Kharge was threatened and pushed.
Kharge, Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, wrote to Birla, claiming he was physically pushed by BJP MPs in Parliament premises following which he lost his balance.
"I was physically pushed by BJP MPs; lost my balance and was forced to sit down on the ground in front of Makar Dwar... This inflicted injuries on my knees which have already undergone surgery," Kharge said.
Kharge asked the speaker to order an inquiry into the BJP MPs "pushing" him and said it was an assault not just on him but on the Rajya Sabha LoP and the Congress president.
"I was trying to enter Parliament and the BJP MPs were stopping me, pushing me and threatening me," Rahul Gandhi told reporters in Parliament premises.
Asked if Kharge and Wayanad MP Priyanka Gandhi had also been pushed, Rahul Gandhi said, "It has happened but we don't get bothered with this pushing around."
"This is the entry to Parliament, we have a right to go inside and the BJP members were stopping us from going inside," he alleged and pointed to the Makar Dwar.
In their letter to Birla, some senior Congress MPs said they were writing to express their "deep anguish" over the incident that happened when members of the INDIA alliance were peacefully protesting and marching from the Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar statue to Makar Dwar.
"However, as we attempted to enter the Parliament through Makar Dwar, the protesting MPs were physically obstructed from entering," said the letter signed by Congress MPs K C Venugopal, Kodikunnil Suresh, Ravindra Chavan Dean Kuriakose and V K Sreekandan.
"We would also like to bring to your notice that Shri Rahul Gandhi Leader of Opposition was physically manhandled by three MPs from the ruling party. This is a clear violation of the privileges extended to the Leader of Opposition and infringes on the rights accorded to him in his official capacity as an MP," they said.
Their conduct was not only a blatant assault on the personal dignity of Rahul Gandhi but antithetical to the democratic spirit of our parliament, the letter said.
The MPs expressed the hope that the speaker would treat this matter with utmost seriousness and take appropriate action.
In a post in Hindi on X, Kharge added, "After insulting Baba Saheb Dr. Ambedkar ji, Narendra Modiji also gets the dignity of the Parliament insulted. BJP MPs were armed with placards with thick sticks and were made to push and shove to stop the peaceful protest of INDIA alliance MPs so that their animosity towards Babasaheb, Parliament, Constitution and democracy is not exposed."
"But we will stand firm, we will not tolerate any derogatory comments on Babasaheb. Everyone in the country will strongly oppose BJP/RSS," he said.
According to Congress general secretary Venugopal, the "farcical drama" in Parliament House was a grand display of the "BJP&rsquo;s &lsquo;Save Ambedkar-Virodhi Amit Shah&rsquo; mission".
For the past 15 days, the Opposition has been peacefully protesting in Parliament House on various issues and no incidents of mishandling or disruptions have been reported, he said.
"The speaker explicitly instructed that the passage to the House must not be blocked. Security guards were entrusted with managing the entrance. We have always complied, never obstructed the way, and cooperated peacefully with security personnel.
Today, after our peaceful dharna at Prerna Sthal and a walk around Samvidhan Sadan carrying posters, we were shocked to witness BJP MPs blocking entrances with sticks attached to posters," he said.
Strangely, no security guards were present despite this being a violation of the Speaker&rsquo;s directives, Venugopal said.
"In a disgraceful turn of events, the stick-wielding BJP MPs pushed the Hon&rsquo;ble Congress president, a senior and respected leader, while the LoP in Lok Sabha was also prevented and pushed from entering the House," he alleged.
"These unruly BJP MPs were the ones responsible for vitiating the atmosphere and lowering the dignity of Parliament. No theatrics or trickery will save them from accountability for the disrespectful comments made by Amit Shah against Babasaheb Ambedkar."
He said the party would take the issue to the streets across the country until the Home minister stepped down for his remarks on Ambedkar.
Congress' deputy leader in the Lok Sabha Gaurav Gogoi said, "Today I saw the BJP MPs being hostile and threatening towards Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and LoP Rahul Gandhi. The BJP MPs had sticks in their hands. I saw with my own eyes how Mallikarjun Kharge was being threatened and pushed."

13 dead, 99 rescued after Navy boat rams into ferry off Mumbai coast

The accident led to the loss of 13 lives, including a Naval personnel and two from the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) on board the Naval craft, the Navy said.

The Mumbai police on Thursday said the ferry &lsquo;Neel Kamal&rsquo; that capsized after being hit by a Navy craft off the Gateway of India had a capacity of 90 passengers but had over 100 persons on board.
Thirteen persons, including Navy personnel and two contractual naval employees, were killed in the accident on Wednesday afternoon and 98 were rescued.
According to the documents issued by the Maharashtra Maritime Board concerning the boat, it had permission to carry 84 passengers and 6 crew members but the ferry was carrying over a hundred persons, a police official said.
Police have gathered all the documents related to the boat, he said.
A case has been registered against the Navy craft driver at the Colaba police station, the official said.
The BNS sections invoked in the FIR included those related to causing death by negligence, actions that endanger the personal safety or life of others, rash or negligent navigation of a vessel and acts of mischief that cause wrongful loss or damage to individuals or the public.
There were two German nationals and one Canadian on board &lsquo;Neel Kamal&rsquo; at the time of the mid-sea collision and they were safely rescued, he said.
Cops have so far recorded the statements of nine persons who were rescued by the Indian Navy, Coast Guard, Mumbai police and CISF teams and identification of all the 13 bodies has been done, he said.
The accident-affected Naval craft is in the custody of the Indian Navy and police will demand it whenever needed for the investigation, he said.
Meanwhile, the mangled passenger ferry has been taken to &lsquo;Bhaucha Dhakka&rsquo; (a wharf near Dockyard Road) in south Mumbai, another official said.
Of the 113 persons on board both vessels, 13 died and 98, including two injured, were rescued. There were six persons on board the Navy craft, of which two survived, officials have said. Efforts are underway to trace two missing passengers, they have said.

Bhutan King Jigme Khesar Namgyel conferred the Red Scarf and the title &lsquo;Dasho&rsquo; upon Kapur, who is currently the director at The Druk Gyalpo&rsquo;s Institute, according to people aware of the matter.
The honour, which was conferred at the 117th Bhutanese National Day celebrations in Thimphu&rsquo;s Changlimithang stadium, is rarely given to non-Bhutanese residents and comes with the honorific &lsquo;Dasho&rsquo; title, otherwise used for senior officials.
Kapur was previously awarded the &lsquo;Druk Thuksey&rsquo; in 2019 for his work in setting up The Royal Academy school, and in developing the Bhutan Baccalaureate educational system.
He headed Delhi&rsquo;s renowned Vasant Valley School for 29 years until April 2020.

Karnataka BJP MLC C T Ravi was arrested after an FIR was registered against him, for allegedly using a derogatory word against Minister Laxmi Hebbalkar in the Legislative Council on Thursday, police said.
He was taken into the police van from the premises of Suvarna Vidhana Soudha.
Based on the complaint filed by the Minister, a case was registered against the BJP leader under sections 75 (sexual harassment) and 79 (word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, a senior police officer said. While Ravi has denied the allegation calling it &ldquo;false&rdquo; and staged a protest, Congress leaders said Hebbalkar has made a complaint to the Legislative Council Chairman.
There was a high drama on the last day of the winter session of the Karnataka legislature here on Thursday, with Woman and Child Development Minister Laxmi Hebbalkar accusing C T Ravi of using a derogatory word against her in the Legislative Council. Ravi earlier served as National General Secretary of BJP.
When reporters asked her about the incident outside the House, Hebbalkar merely said, &ldquo;I&rsquo;m pained&hellip;.&rdquo; Earlier, claiming to be supporters of Hebbalkar a group of people from Belagavi angrily approached towards Ravi within the Suvarna Vidhana Soudha premises here, but were stopped by the security staff. Some even staged a protest against Ravi outside, and they were whisked away by the police.
According to Congress leaders, Ravi allegedly used the derogatory word several times against Hebbalkar during an altercation between them, after the House was adjourned shortly earlier in the day, by Chairman Horatti, following an uproar over Union Home Minister Amit Shah&rsquo;s remarks on B R Ambedkar.
Speaking to reporters, Congress MLC Yathindra Siddaramaiah said the incident happened after the Chairman adjourned the House, and that he was standing two rows behind Hebbalkar at that time.
There was war of words between Hebbalkar and Ravi, and as she made certain comments against him, he used the derogatory word against her, he said. &ldquo;I initially couldn&rsquo;t believe that an MLC could use such a word and waited for confirmation. He could be heard using that word and walking out. Later Hebbalkar herself came and told a few of us about it, with pain.&rdquo; &ldquo;We have complained to the Chairman and sought his (Ravi) expulsion. The Chairman has assured action after verifying audio and video,&rdquo; Yathindra, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah&rsquo;s son, said.
Meanwhile, responding to a question on the allegation Ravi said, &ldquo;Her allegations are false, let the audio and videos get verified, I will speak after that. I won&rsquo;t say anything now. This is not the right time to answer this question. I&rsquo;m not someone who will abuse someone personally. I have not abused her, I don&rsquo;t know why she felt that way.&rdquo; &ldquo;I have not said anything to her&hellip;.I have not made any personal comments against her, as she is claiming,&rdquo; he added.
Later, Ravi staged a protest along with some of his BJP colleagues alleging that there was an attempt to attack him in the Suvarna Vidhana Soudha, based on a false allegation, and termed it as &ldquo;goonda raj&rdquo;.
&ldquo;If I have used such derogatory words, show it&hellip;.there should be a police investigation, Laxmi Hebbalkar is making false allegations, on her instigation people had come shouting slogans in favour of her and against me,&rdquo; he said.
Speaking to reporters, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said, &ldquo;He (Ravi) used a filthier word to Laxmi Hebbalkar, who is a Minister in my cabinet, and it amounts to criminal offence,&rdquo; he said.
When told that Ravi has denied allegations, the CM said, &ldquo;everyone is saying that he used the word ten times, I don&rsquo;t know, I was not there in the Council. Council members came and told me Ravi has used a filthy word. Laxmi Hebbalkar is pained, it is in a way sexual harassment against her.&rdquo; After Hebbalkar approached the Chairman with a complaint, Horatti asked Council secretariat staff to check the video and audio related to the incident.
However, according to official sources, the recording team informed him that they had stopped recording when the incident happened, as the House was adjourned.
The Chairman later, when the Council proceedings resumed, said he heard Hebbalkar and Congress MLCs Umashree, Balkis Banu, Yathindra Siddaramaiah and Nagaraj Yadav, who gave their statements accusing Ravi of using a derogatory word, in his chamber.
He said, later, Ravi also met him and said that he had not used any derogatory word as being alleged, but claimed he only told her that she was &ldquo;frustrated&rdquo;.
Detailing about the proceedings , the Chairman, before adjourning the House &lsquo;sine die&rsquo; said, &ldquo;In my long political career, I have never come across such an incident where derogatory terms have been used inside the house by the members. I believe that no woman will falsely complain publicly alleging derogatory words were used against her. However, I request the complainant and the person who was accused to introspect. Being elected representatives we need to be the role models in the society as people look up to us.&rdquo;

Passengers Vandalize Antyodaya Express at Basti Station Over Locked Doors

The Railway Protection Force (RPF) in Basti has registered an FIR under Section 145 of the Railway Act against unidentified individuals for their role in the vandalism.

In a dramatic incident late Tuesday night, enraged passengers waiting to board the Mumbai-bound Antyodaya Express (15101) at Basti railway station resorted to vandalism after finding the coach doors locked. Videos of the incident, which have gone viral on social media, capture the chaos as one individual used a heavy stone to smash the glass panel of the train&rsquo;s entry door, while others dismantled the iron grill of a window to climb into the coach.

The Railway Protection Force (RPF) in Basti has registered an FIR under Section 145 of the Railway Act against unidentified individuals for their role in the vandalism.
According to railway officials, the train was severely overcrowded, prompting passengers already inside to bolt the doors from within to prevent more people from boarding. This infuriated those waiting at the station, leading to a violent outburst. "A youth shattered the glass of the entry door, and others broke the iron grill of a window to gain access," an official source said.
The incident occurred around 10:30 p.m. and was followed by another video surfacing from Mankapur railway station later that night. The footage shows an RPF constable helping an elderly woman board the overcrowded train, highlighting the chaos passengers faced.
Chandra Mohan Mishra, Senior Divisional Security Commissioner of Northeastern Railway, confirmed that authorities have CCTV footage of the vandalism and are working to identify the perpetrators. "Our teams are trying to track down those involved," he said.
Despite the severity of the incident, no arrests have been made so far.
The Antyodaya Express, which runs between Chhapra and Mumbai, has been a lifeline for many passengers travelling long distances, but the incident underscores the challenges posed by overcrowded trains.
As the investigation continues, railway authorities will likely face questions about overcrowding and safety measures to prevent such incidents in the future.
