"I spoke to CM Karnataka and he has assured me that no arrests would be made pending investigation. Only FIR has been filed," Singh tweeted today, as ABVP intensified protests across the state demanding immediate arrest of those who allegedly raised anti-India and anti-Army slogans.

Bengaluru police have slapped sedition charges against Amnesty International India. which has said none of its employees had shouted any anti-India slogans at the event held here on Saturday last.

Singh also said simply raising slogans is not a fit case to be charged with sedition and such a law was used by the British against freedom fighters.

"Simply raising slogans is not a fit case to be charged with sedition. It is a law which British used against our Leaders in Freedom Movement," Singh tweeted.

Siddaramaiah has said the law will take its own course to find out whether the offence committed by 'pro-freedom Kashmiris' amounted to sedition.

"I wouldn't say anything more than what I have already said - whether it is sedition or any offence committed by anybody, the law will take its own course. The police are investigating the case," he had said.

Amnesty International today submitted yet another video and CCTV footage to the police for investigation.

Thousands of ABVP activists staged protests in different parts of the state, including Bengaluru, Hubballi, Mysuru, Belagavi and other places, seeking arrest of those who allegedly raised slogans against the Army and India.

The protest near Mysore Bank circle at the nucleus of the city and surrounding areas caused traffic snarl. Police had put in place tight security at several places.

Thiruvananthapuram, Jan 1: Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Wednesday said that the resolution passed by the Kerala Assembly is against the "unconstitutional Act passed by the Centre".

"The resolution passed by Kerala Assembly is against the unconstitutional Act passed by the Centre. It has been noticed by the whole country," Vijayan said.

The Kerala Assembly had on Tuesday passed a resolution seeking withdrawal of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019.

Before the resolution was passed against the Act, Vijayan in a special Assembly session targeted RSS and said that citizenship law is part of an agenda.

"The CAA is part of an agenda. Muslims are being considered as internal enemies by RSS, who is controlling the ruling dispensation at the Centre," he alleged.

The new law grants citizenship to Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Parsis, Buddhists and Christians fleeing religious persecution in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh who came to India on or before December 31, 2014.

Meanwhile, on Wednesday while talking about women safety, the Chief Minister said, "Those women, who are traveling face many problems, particularly regarding accommodation. To address this, government will start accommodation facilities in all towns. This project will be implemented with the help of local bodies."

Reacting to the development in the Kerala Assembly, BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said that Assembly has insulted the Constitution and parliament by passing a resolution seeking withdrawal of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).

"The Constitution has delineated clearly the roles of parliament and state legislatures. When people who have taken an oath of the constitution, destroy it, it is a most irresponsible act. Both the houses of parliament have passed CAA and if a state assembly tries to hijack the Act it is an insult not only of the constitution but the parliament as well," Naqvi told news agency.

Dear scape goat Naqvi, dont try to fool us.   I know you are a liar as you are int he company of liars.  MPs are taking oath to respect and safeguard indian constitution and not to disrespect it and go agaisnt the teachings of constitution.  What Central Govt has done is 100 perent agaisnt the constitution and every citizen has the right to oppose this.   You are definately go with the Govt as you are paid for it.   But dont force other too to follow you.  What Kerala Govt has done is according to will of people and Central Govtr should respect it.
