Vote for BJP only if you want jungle raj: Mevani

Bengaluru, May 11: Attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for their “communal politics”, Gujarat MLA and Dalit leader Jignesh Mevani on Thursday appealed to the people of Karnataka to cast votes wisely.

“If you want the rule of law to prevail, then vote prudently. But, if you want a jungle raj, then vote for the BJP,” he said.

Mevani was addressing the media with Dr Kafeel Khan (who was arrested in the encephalitis deaths case in Gorakhpur), social activist Nadeem Khan, National Law School professor Kshitij Urs, and Dr Akhila Vasan of the Karnataka Jan Arogya Chaluvali -- under the banner, Karnataka Forum to Save the Constitution.

Mevani said weaker sections, marginalised, Dalits and Muslims had been intentionally targeted by the Adityanath government. He also said innocent people were being victimised in the name of cow protection, Ghar Vaapsi and Love Jihad.

“Modi had promised to establish the rule of the law after the BJP comes to power in Uttar Pradesh. While Dalits and Muslims are being killed indiscriminately, there have been nearly 1,750 fake encounters in the state after Adityanath took over. We are here to appeal to the people to aspire for Narayana Guru and Basavanna’s model of governance, and not that of Modi or Yogi,” he said.

Mevani said if the people of Karnataka voted for BJP, then innocent people like Dr Khan would be put behind bars for trying to do good work.

Dr Khan, who is out on bail, said the Uttar Pradesh government had made a scapegoat out of him.

Need a law to shoot at sight those raising anti-India slogans: B C Patil

News Network

March 2,2020

Bengaluru, Mar 2: Karnataka Minister BC Patil on Monday repeated his earlier statements that he will approach the Centre to bring a law to "shoot at sight" anyone who raises anti-India slogans.

"I am not going back on my statement as I have not said anything wrong. I had said that I will ask the central government to bring a law to shoot at sight those who shout slogans against India. Nowadays it has become a fashion for some youths to get popularity this way which spoils the country and patriotism," Patil told reporters here.

"There is nothing wrong in asking for a law. I have not said that I will myself shoot someone who shouts slogans against India. If the same thing happens in Pakistan, they will be beheaded. But we are not so brutal, we book a case and send them to judicial custody," he added.

Patil also said that there was no need for holding discussions over the amended Citizenship Act, but added that the ruling BJP will defend it if the opposition raises a stir in the state Assembly.

The budget session of the Karnataka Assembly began on Monday.
