Karnataka BJP and Congress clash over minister remarks and Delhi student protest

Union Minister Pralhad Joshi condemned Karnataka Congress MLA H. C. Balakrishna for remarks that linked Minister of State Shobha Karandlaje to former Chief Minister B. S. Yediyurappa, calling the comments an insult to women and demanding an apology.

Separately, Karnataka BJP and Congress leaders exchanged accusations over the police response to a student protest in New Delhi, with the BJP labeling the demonstration a pre‑planned conspiracy and the Congress denouncing the baton charge and tear‑gas use as an inhuman assault on democratic expression.
