Referring to the recent bomb blast at Rameshwaram Cafe in Bengaluru, Leader of Opposition in the Assembly R. Ashok has said that terror activities in the State have been on the rise after the Congress assumed power but the government is reluctant to take stringent action against terrorists.
“The State government is not ready to take stringent action against terrorists responsible for the Rameshwaram Cafe blast and those who raised pro-Pakistan slogan in the Vidhana Soudha. Under Congress rule, Hindutva activists have been banished from Udupi and Mangaluru. In some places, Hindutva activists have been killed. In Kalaburagi, two BJP leaders have been murdered,” he said, during his brief interaction with media representatives in Kalaburagi on Monday.
Asserting his party’s stand on the sloganeering in the Vidhana Soudha, Mr. Ashok asked the government to book a case against a private agency that confirmed pro-Pakistan sloganeering in the Vidhana Soudha if its report is proved to be incorrect by the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL).
