Bengaluru, Mar 13: Several ministers staying at the Bengaluru resort had been emotionally pressurised to leave the Congress party, said Congress leader Jitu Patwari on Thursday after he was rescued by party leader DK Shivakumar from getting arrested due to the scuffle that had broken out at Embassy Boulevard here.
"We had received information that one of the MLAs, Manoj Chaudhary, staying at the Boulevard wanted his father to bring him back home," Patwari told reporters.
He said, "We had accompanied Manoj's father to the resort but the moment we entered the restaurant at the resort, some miscreants took away Manoj to some other unknown place," Patwari told reporters.
"Meanwhile, we (Lakhan Singh and Jitu Patwari) were manhandled and taken to the police station," he added.
Patwari said that the police had started the process of arresting them but Shivakumar came to their rescue and stopped their arrest.
He further said, "The police manhandled us even though we tried to talk to them in a very calm manner."
"If the MLAs giving resignation was their decision then why is the BJP not allowing them to contact their families," the MP said.
He further said that Jyotiraditya Scindia would soon become a minister but "why are the other ministers being made scapegoats."
Earlier in the day, a Congress leader in Madhya Pradesh had said that if action on the assaulters of its two leaders is not taken then the matter will be taken to the court.

Bengaluru, May 27: Amid uncertainty caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, which has disrupted school education in Karnataka, the state government is seeking the help of the Union Ministry of Information and Broadcasting to televise classes, a state minister said on Tuesday.
"We request you to provide minimum three channels on the Doordarshan network exclusively for the Department of Public Instruction, Government of Karnataka," Primary and Secondary Education Minister Suresh Kumar said in a letter to Union I&B Minister Prakash Javadekar.
Suggesting co-branding the channels under DD and the state education department, he asked for the channels to be mandatorily transmitted by the cable and DTH operators under the Cable Act.
The state education department has already discussed with Prasar Bharti officials, who, according Kumar, have assured 3+3 hours of timeslots on the education channel Chandana on cost basis.
"We have also made all the necessary arrangements for content creation by the teachers," he said.
Meanwhile, the minister has revealed that television is the best medium for the students as a home learning mode in these challenging times.
"The department of public instruction reviewed various technological options and considered TV as one of the best means for home learning," Kumar said.
In a survey conducted by the education department, it was found out that 95 per cent households had television sets.
Kumar said the state operates government schools in nine languages, including Kannada, English and Urdu.
"To cater to all the students, and considering a long-term strategy to run schools by maintaining social distancing, we are in immediate need of minimum three exclusive channels to teach through TV," he said.
According to Kumar, the Karnataka government is facing hardships to meet the capital expenditure requirements, hence, it is seeking help from the I&B Ministry.
Mysuru, Jul 20: Police and the Bengaluru City Quarantine Squad apprehended quarantine breacher “Drone Boy” Prathap N M in Mysuru on Monday afternoon.
Police sources said that the 23-year-old youth agreed to surrender following negotiations with officers.
“He agreed to turn himself in after realizing that he had no other alternative,” said an officer, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
A team of officers from the Quarantine Squad under Dr Prayag H S and police from the Talaghattapura Police Station under Inspector Ramappa Guttedar said they apprehended Prathap who was staying at a hotel in the Mandi Mohalla area at around 3 pm.
Prathap’s father accompanied the team to convince his son to surrender. Police said Prathap will be returned to the city to be placed into 14 days of institutional quarantine.
With two cell phones at his disposal Prathap, who is accused of twice breaching home quarantine regulations, fled the city on Saturday.
Police, who were initially aware of only one cell phone, lost track of the youth as he drove out of the city, turning his phone off near Kengeri.
However, after quizzing the fugitive’s family, police learned that Prathap had a second phone and sim card. “His whereabouts were established on Sunday evening by tracking this second phone,” an official source said.
