Joshi calls Siddaramaiah a ‘Mullah’, slams IGP who averted riots in coastal Karnataka

In his attempt to portray the ruling Congress government of Karnataka as anti-Hindu, senior BJP leader and Dharwad Pralhad Joshi has called chief minister Siddaramaiah a ‘Mullah’. He also slammed Inspector General of Police (western range) Hemant Nimbalkar, who foiled several attempts of communal forces to create riots in coastal Karnataka.

Speaking at a protest meeting organised by Hindu Hitarakshana Samiti in Hubballi, he said the 'Mulla Siddaramaiah' government was engaged in acts of Muslim appeasement and was torturing patriots and protecting anti-nationals.

Mr Joshi, who served as the state president of BJP in the past, also dragged Pakistan to Karnataka. He Joshi said that there were vested interests that want to convert India into Pakistan and organisations such as the RSS, VHP and ABVP were the main hurdles for them. "We know how to chop the tongues of those who say Pakistan zindabad," he said, adding the word 'legally'.

He alleged that anti-nationals and terrorists were getting protection from Siddaramaiah and the State was on the way to becoming another West Bengal and Kerala, where Hindus had no protection.

Mr Joshi said that the Hindus were in danger and the killings of Hindus in Karnataka should be a wake-up call to all to come out and protest. He accused Mr Siddaramaiah of protecting activists of the Popular Front of India and the Karnataka Forum for Dignity (KFD). “After coming to power, the Siddaramaiah-led government has withdrawn cases against 1,700 PFI and KFD activists,” he claimed.

He described IGP Hemant Nimbalkar as a 'chamcha' of Siddaramaiah, since cases were booked under Section 307 of the IPC against many Hindutva activists including BJP workers in Sirsi, Uttara Kannada district for trying to create communal riots.

Bengaluru, Jul 28: Several state Congress leaders, including its President D K Shivakumar, among others, were detained by police as they tried to march towards Raj Bhavan here against the alleged attempts by BJP to topple the party's government in Rajasthan.

Shivakumar, along with Leader of the Opposition Siddaramaiah, state Congress Working President Eshwar Khandre, Salim Ahmed among others were stopped by the police midway as they marched from KPCC office towards Raj Bhavan.

Congress leaders then staged a dharna at the place where they were stopped. Addressing the gathering, Shivakumar accused the BJP of trying to "murder" democracy by destabilizing and removing elected governments.

"We wanted to protest against it and submit a memorandum to the President through the Governor," but the Karnataka government by using police was not letting them proceed towards Raj Bhavan, he said. "Despite our being a peaceful protest, the police stopped us," he said.

Siddaramaiah, echoing similar views, said peaceful protests against injustice was the right of every citizen. Alleging that the BJP was attempting to destabilise and remove the elected government in Rajasthan as it did in Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh, he said the Governor's office there (Rajasthan) was being 'misused'.

The Governor was working like an agent of the central government, he charged. He said, despite repeated appeals by the Rajasthan cabinet, the Governor there had not convened the assembly session, for the floor test to take place and for Congress to prove its majority. Police subsequently detained Shivakumar and some other Congress leaders and took them to a nearby police station.

They were later released. Meanwhile, as the Congress' protest amid Covid19 pandemic did not follow social distancing norms, Medical Education Minister K Sudhakar hit out at that party's leaders. In a tweet Sudhakar said, for Congress leaders getting publicity was more important than social concerns.
