Not misusing Central agencies to harass Cong, JD(S) leaders in Karnataka: Rajnath Singh

Bengaluru, Sept 19: Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday outrightly rejected allegations that the Central agencies were misused to harass Congress or Janata Dal (Secular) leaders.

"I don't think, it is the job of CBI or ED to harass people. I don't think such things happen. People should stop making such accusations. It is not good. Aren't we all sitting together or not?" said Singh pointing to Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy who was sitting next to him.

Speaking to reporters after presiding over the Southern Zonal Council Meeting here, he said that Congress and the JD(S) have been charging the NDA Government headed by Narendra Modi of using the central agencies such as CBI, Enforcement Directorate and Income Tax department to harass Minister and senior Congress leader DK Shivakumar for taking on the BJP time and again.

Bengaluru, Feb 19: Karnataka Forest Minister Anand Singh on Wednesday said that there was no criminal case filed directly against him.

When asked about PIL filed in the Karnataka High Court against him, Singh told media: "Some lawyer has filed a PIL against me in the High Court. I cannot stop anyone from filing the PIL."

"I have given my criminal record. There is no criminal case directly filed against me. My name is there in some cases but in 'others category'. We will see what happens," he said.

When asked about Congress leader Siddaramaiah's comments criticising him for being given the forest portfolio, Singh said: "I cannot comment on what he said against me as he is a former chief minister and very senior leader."

"Also the opposition always tries to make allegations against me. That is why he criticised me," he said.

Leader of Opposition in Karnataka Assembly Siddaramaiah on Monday demanded that Forest Minister Anand Singh should either be expelled from the ministry or assigned a different portfolio.

A number of cases are pending against Singh including those registered under the Karnataka Forest Act.
