BJP’s pro-CAA campaign in Karnataka from January 1

Hubballi, Dec 29: BJP will conduct a pro-Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) campaign across Karnataka from January 1-15 to counter the protests against it.

The ruling party will hold mega rallies and public meetings in major cities, including Bengaluru, Mysuru, Mangaluru, Hubballi, Belagavi, Ballari and Kalaburagi to enlighten people on the law.

“A fortnight-long pro-CAA awareness campaign will be held to counter the protests launched against it by students and others at the behest of Congress and left parties,” BJP’s state unit general secretary N Ravikumar said on Saturday.

Ravikumar said the party will also hold pro-CAA rallies in all 30 district headquarters. “Our cadres and supporters will go on a door-to-door campaign. We will reach out to about 1 crore people of all ages through messages and audio/video clips in Kannada, Hindi and English through social media,” he added.

He alleged that a deliberate misinformation campaign was carried out against CAA by vested interests by misguiding students and members of minority communities.

Besides veteran Congress leaders, he said West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee and CPM politbureau member Prakash Karat, who are opposing CAA, had voiced their support for the amendment in 2005.

Bengaluru, Jan 16: Members and activists of social organisation Rakshana Vedike on Thursday staged a protest and demanded the arrest of BJP MLA Somashekhara Reddy, for his 'provocative' remarks and statements.

The protesters gathered near Gandhi’s statue near Maurya circle in the city and demanded that the BJP MLA should be arrested immediately.

The protesters alleged that Reddy’s remark were aimed at inciting communal hatred and that his remarks do not do justice to his being an elected representative of the people in the state assembly.
