Handover Gauri Lankesh murder case to Modi govt’s agency: BJP

News Network

September 6, 2017

Bengaluru, Sept 6: The leader of opposition in Assembly Jagadish Shettar has urged the state government to handover the probe into the killer of journalist-activist Gauri Lankesh to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

It is worth mentioning here that Gauri Lankesh, who was a trenchant critic of Prime Minister Narendra Modi led government and Sangh Parivar, had portrayed CBI as a puppet in the hands of BJP and Modi govt.

Speaking to media persons here on Wednesday, he said it has been two years since the murder of researcher M M Kalburgi took place in Dharwad, yet the State government has not been able to crack the case. If the government does not want this case (Gauri killing) too to go in that direction, they should hand over the case to CBI.

He said the State government should take strict action against anyone found guilty in the case, irrespective of how mighty he may be.

Shettar said there is a complete collapse in law and order situation in Karnataka, as in the last one year alone the State has seen 18 political/ideological murders taking place, including those belonging to right-wing ideology.

As a responsible opposition party, we will question the government on the political murders, including that of M M Kalburgi and Gauri Lankesh, he said and added that the political murder cases will be discussed in our Mangaluru meet which is scheduled to be held on September 7,” he said.

Dharwad MP Prahlad Joshi, demanding a CBI inquiry, asked people not pre-judge on the case and wait till the emergence of complete details in the case. “State government is completely clueless about the political and ideological killings taking place in Karnataka,” he said.

Why? To protect killers?

If so ask Modi to catch killers of of Mr. Pansare and Mr. Dabolkar in Maharashtra.

First solve the unresolved cases in the BJP ruled state, Maharashtra and thereafter take that as a model and attack Congress government in Karnataka.

If you are not able to do this then for Godsake keep silent.
