Leader of Opposition in Karnataka Legislative Assembly Siddaramaiah on Tuesday said that Congress party was not supporting organisations like PFI and SDPI, but it was BJP which had allowed them to continue activities for the sake of dividing votes.
Speaking to press persons in Hubballi on Tuesday, Mr. Siddaramaiah clarified that Congress had never objected to banning these organisations. “Whichever the organisation might be, if they resort to taking lives, it cannot be tolerated. Instead of wasting time on making allegations, if they have substantial evidence, they should take steps to ban them,” he said.
Mr. Siddaramaiah alleged that because of the intelligence failure, murders had taken place in Mangaluru and both Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai and Home Minister Araga Jnanendra should bear the responsibility for the same.
