Mahesh Vikram Hegde, founder of Postcard News and a supporter of Prime Minister Narendra Modi was arrested in Coorg, Karnataka, on April 24, based on a complaint filed by state home minister MB Patil in relation to a letter to Sonia Gandhi about a separate religion for Lingayats. However, BJP hit back saying why no arrests were made when Congress leaders Zameer Ahmed and Beluru Gopala Krishna issued statements against Modi in the most obnoxious manner.
