KARNATAKA, 5 January 2024: In a recent development in Karnataka's Hubballi, a person has been arrested for his alleged role in the riots following the Babri Masjid demolition in 1992. JD(S) leader HD Kumaraswamy expressed strong disapproval, stating, "The CM and Home minister are shamelessly defending this act by cops."
Kumaraswamy accused the Congress leaders of spreading fear by suggesting that Godhra-like riots might occur in Karnataka. He criticized the state government, claiming that they are attempting to divert attention from the real issue of development by highlighting the Srikanth Poojary matter.
Expressing concern, Kumaraswamy stated, "It is shameful that the government is misusing its power in Karnataka to silence the voice of the opposition. The CM and Home minister's defense of the arrest raises questions about the impartiality of law enforcement."
The arrest has sparked a heated political debate, with Kumaraswamy urging the government to focus on addressing development issues rather than using divisive tactics. The situation remains tense as political figures clash over the interpretation of events surrounding the arrest and its potential impact on the state's political landscape.
