Even though Bharatiya Janata Party has been accusing Chief Minister Siddaramaiah led Congress government of indulging in "Muslim appeasement", statistics prove that the police in Karnataka have arrested more Muslims than Hindus in cases related to communal clashes in last four and a half years.

As many as 1,254 people have been arrested for communal violence across the state from 2013 to 2017. Among them 670 are Muslims, 578 are Hindus and only 6 are Christians.

"When it comes to communal violence, we have not supported any community," says Karnataka home minister R Ramalinga Reddy. "We have arrested the perpetrators of violence irrespective of their political or religious affiliations and have filed chargesheets in these cases. We have allowed law to take its course," he adds.
