Amit Shah calls UB City assault victim a ‘BJP worker’, says cops soft on minority goons

Mangaluru, Feb 20: BJP supremo Amit Shah, who is touring coastal Karnataka as part of the Navashakti Yatra, on Tuesday added UB City assault victim to the list of BJP workers attacked by Congress in the state during Siddaramaiah rule.

Vidwath, an MBA graduate and son of a businessman was on Saturday night thrashed by Shantinagar Congress MLA NA Haris’ son Mohammed Nalapad and others at Farzi Café in Bengaluru’s UB City over a trivial issue. Sons of many senior BJP leaders were mute spectators for the attack. Family sources said that Vidwath, who recently returned from Singapore, was not part of any political outfits.

However, speaking to reporters in Dakshina Kannada, Amit Shah referred to Vidwath as a BJP worker. “The BJP workers are being attacked by goons of Congress across Karnataka. Vidwath is a latest victim of Congress’ hooliganism,” he claimed.

Accusing the Karnataka police of going soft on goons belonging to Congress and minority community, Shah said that Bengaluru police had delayed registering the case not just because Mohammed Haris was a Congress MLA's son, but also because he belonged to a minority community.
