State BJP condemns killing of party activist

Published On : 15 Mar 2016


Bengaluru, DHNS The State BJP on Monday condemned the murder of party activist Raju in Mysuru and demanded that the State government immediately arrest those involved in the incident.

Addressing reporters here in Bengaluru, BJP?State spokesperson Ashwathnarayana said members of the Popular Front of India (PFI) could be involved in the murder. The Congress government has been going soft on PFI members in order to appease a particular community. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah should take the responsibility for the incident, he added.

Incidents of attack against the BJP activitists are increasing ever since the Congress came to power in Karnataka. The government has refused to withdraw cases booked against farmers but it has voluntarily withdrawn cases against PFI activists, he charged.

The BJP also demanded that the government announce a compensation of Rs 10 lakh to the family members of the deceased BJP activist.

Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Council K?S?Eshwarappa said the BJP?leaders would meet in Bengaluru on Tuesday to decide their next step of action.

In a press release,?PFI?secretary Shafi?Ballare stated that the BJP was unnecessarily linking his organisation with the Mysuru incident. This is BJP’s?ploy to mislead the ongoing investigation into the incident, he said.

Speaking to reporters in Bengaluru, he said he had directed DG&IGP Om Prakash and Mysuru City Police Commissioner B?Dayananda to take steps to ensure law and order in the city.
