Modi govt directly responsible for Bengaluru violence: Hindu Mahasabha

Hubballi, Apr 21: The Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha has held Prime Minister Narendra Modi led union government directly responsible for Tuesday's violence in Bengaluru.

Addressing presspersons here on Wednesday, new State president of the Mahasabha Na. Subramanyaraju said that it was natural that workers were angry against the Union government as it had unilaterally taken a decision on workers' PF.

As it had taken an irresponsible decision without responding to workers' grievances, it led to workers anger, subsequent violence and loss to public property in Bengaluru, he said.

Both the Union and State governments should first address workers' grievances and take steps to release the arrested workers. Compensation should be paid to the police personnel injured in the violence, he said.

Mr. Subramanyaraju said that the Mahasabha also condemned the Union government's action of allowing an inquiry team from Pakistan to visit the sensitive airbase at Pathankot, in connection with the terrorist attack there.
