Udupi: Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Monday while replying to a question posed by reporters in Udupi reacted to the reports of a ban on several organisations in the state.

Speaking to reporters during his official visit to Udupi on Monday, reporters questioned the CM about the allegation of the opposition parties that the government has remained silent on the recent hate-inciting incidents in the state.

Replying to the question, the CM said “We know how to handle and manage the situation, and we will do it accordingly. We don’t have to learn anything from those in opposition.”

He further added “When their government was in power, they dropped cases against several organisations which were involved in the killing of Hindu youths. Where was their sense of duty then?”

On a prompted question by reporters, if those organisations will be banned by his government, the CM replied “You will see it for yourself in coming days.”

Although the CM did not specifically name any organisations during his interaction with the media reporters, right-wing Hindutva groups and BJP have repeatedly alleged that the organisations like PFI, SDPI, and others were involved in the killings of Hindu activists and youths in the state.

MP Ananth Kumar Hegde

Bengaluru: MP Ananth Kumar Hegde has reportedly written a letter to Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai asking for an investigation against Mandya’s student named Muskan. During the Hijab controversy in the state, saffron-clad youngsters had surrounded the student in question at Mandya’s college campus to which she had stood her ground. In his letter, the MP has claimed that Muskan had received praises from the leader of Al-Qaeda, and sought an investigation against her in this regard. 

“I have no idea about who the leader of the Al-Qaeda even is, I came to know that he has praised my daughter through the news channels. We do not need praises from people from other countries”, Muskan’s father Hussain told the media. 

Now, MP Ananth Kumar Hegde has demanded that “Regarding the Hijab issue, the student must be investigated to see if she has involvement with unseen hands and banned organizations”, the MP said.

Bengaluru: Former Karnataka Chief Minister and senior BJP leader BS Yediyurappa on Monday reacted to the recent hate inciting incidents across the state and added that such incidents should not take place.

“Some miscreants are trying to disturb peace and harmony in the state. CM Bommai has also warned people to not indulge in such activities, even I want to advise people to stay away from such things. We are all a family, don’t disturb anybody, let Muslims live peacefully.” he said.
