Youth gets 20 years’ RI for abducting, marrying minor in Karnataka
Saturday, 23 December 2023 A special court for Pocso cases found a 22-year-old youth named Venkatesh guilty of abducting a minor girl twice and coercing her into marriage during the second abduction. The court sentenced Venkatesh to 20 years of rigorous imprisonment and imposed a fine of Rs 41,000. The charges included violations under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), such as Section 363 (Punishment for kidnapping), Section 366 (Kidnapping, abducting, or inducing a woman to compel her to marry, etc.), Section 376 (Punishment for rape), and provisions under the Pocso Act of 2012.
Urdu proficiency is now mandatory for Anganwadi teacher applicants in Mudigere and Chikkamagaluru districts, as per a notification by Karnataka's Congress government. The BJP criticized this requirement, accusing the Congress of engaging in appeasement politics. The issue gained attention after the Department of Women and Child Welfare issued an official order mandating Urdu knowledge for candidates in these districts. This directive has sparked a political debate.

In a state like Karnataka, where language has been a deeply emotional issue, the recent mandate by the Siddaramaiah-led Congress government to make proficiency in Urdu a criterion for Anganwadi teachers in Mudigere and Chikkamagaluru has stirred a fresh wave of controversy.
The decision, which has already sparked protests and political outcry, not only threatens to alienate a section of the state's population but also risks further damaging the delicate social fabric of Karnataka.
