The Congress party has distanced itself from a demonstration organised by Karnataka State Backward Classes Awareness Forum with a morphed photo of Mysuru Lok Sabha MP Pratap Simha for issuing passes to intruders, who burst smoke canisters in the Parliament.
Addressing a press conference in Mysuru on Sunday, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) spokesperson M. Lakshmana referred to the demonstration organised by the Forum in Mysuru, where Mr. Simha’s photograph had been morphed, and said the Congress party does not describe either Mr. Simha as “terrorist” nor paints the entire Muslim community as “terrorists”.
The demonstration at a signature campaign seeking the removal of Mr. Simha was not organised by the Congress party even though a few party leaders were present on the occasion.
