Congress partymen have began lodging complaints against Home Minister Araga Jnanendra and BJP national general secretary C.T. Ravi in different police stations of the State accusing them trying to instigate people of one community against others.
In Dharwad, Congress workers led by KPCC member Robert Daddapuri lodged a complaint at Suburban Police Station, while President of Hubballi Dharwad Rural District Congress Anilkumar Patil and others lodged a complaint at Hubballi Rural Police Station on Saturday.
In the complaints, it has been alleged that the Home Minister and Mr. Ravi had deliberately issued statements contradictory to the actual developments related to the murder of a youth in Bengaluru, for the purpose of creating animosity between two communities in the State.
The Home Minister issued a completely false statement on the murder saying that inability to speak in Urdu was the reason for the murder, while the Police Commissioner of Bengaluru had categorically stated in his tweets that the scuffle after a motorcycle accident was the reason for the violence, they said in the complaint.
In the complaint, they said that their actions amounted to crime under Section 120-A (Criminal Conspiracy), 120-B, 124-A (Sedition), 153-A (Promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, race, place of birth, residence, language etc.) and 153-B (Imputations, assertions prejudicial to national integrations) of the Indian Penal Code and appropriate legal action should be initiated against the duo.
Speaking to press persons in Dharwad after filing the complaint, Mr. Robert Daddabpuri said that the State government should immediately act tough against the duo. Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai should immediately sack Mr. Araga Jnanendra from his cabinet, he demanded.
