Bengaluru, DHNS: Submits memorandum to Governor seeking his intervention. The state BJP on Friday sought Governor Vajubhai Vala’s?intervention in what the party has termed as a spate of killings and attacks on members of the Sangh Parivar in the state in the last three years.

A delegation, led by BJP?state president B?S?Yeddyurappa, met Vala at Raj Bhavan in Bengaluru and submitted a list of persons affiliated to Sangh Parivar who had been killed or injured during the last three years after the Congress government took over the reins of power.

A?memorandum submitted by the delegation to Vala notes that the Governor should impress upon the state government that the cases be handed over to the National Investigation Agency (NIA). The BJP leaders stated that RSS?worker Rudresh, who was murdered in Bengaluru on Sunday, was the latest victim in the spate of attacks.

‘Derailing probes’

The BJP?has stated that it suspected that the killings are on account of an “unholy nexus between Jihadists and Marxists”. The killings also reflected on the collapse of the law and order situation in the state, the party stated.

“The government has been systematically diverting and derailing probes attributing the killings to either financial disputes or personal feuds in order to prejudice the investigating agencies,” the memorandum stated.

Only the NIA can unearth the motive and expose the perpetrators of the crimes, BJP leaders told the Governor.
Parameshwara briefs governor

Home Minister G?Parameshwara also called on Governor Vajubhai Vala at Raj Bhavan and briefed him about the law and order situation in the state.

Parameshwara told reporters after the meeting that he had voluntarily decided to meet the Governor to brief him about the recent developments in the state.
