Mangaluru, Sep 13: Amidst reports that the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee was gearing up to build a case against him for alleged anti-party activities, former union minister B Janardhana Poojary said that he was waiting for the “notice” to be issued, so as to give a “proper” reply.

Karnataka Congress in-charge Digvijaya Singh had recently hinted that action would be taken against Mr Poojary as well as another senior leader, H. Vishwanath, for “speaking against” the party and its chief minister.

Speaking to media persons in Manglauru on Monday Mr Poojary strongly justified his recent controversial statements and said that his “outbursts” were to protect the party and not tarnish its image. “Those who don't realize this fact are ignorant people,” he added.

Stating that he is afraid of any action to be taken in response to statements, Mr. Poojary said that many senior leaders, including himself, Oscar Fernandes, Dharam Singh, Mr.Vishwanath, M. Veerappa Moily and thousands of loyal party workers have built the Congress fortress in the state and they do not want to weaken it.

He said while a few of the “ignorant” people in the party are busy spreading hatred against him, he has been receiving positive feedback not only from the State, but also from abroad, with regard to his straight talk to save the party. “I am voicing my concern for the party workers and six crore people in the State,” he said.
