The Opposition Congress’ allegation that Karnataka is seeing a communally disturbed environment triggered heated argument in the Legislative Assembly on Monday, plunging the House into din.
It began with Deputy Leader of the Opposition U.T. Khader, while participating in a debate on the State Budget, stating that Karnataka needs to organise communal harmony meets in all districts ahead of plans to hold the Global Investors’ Meet, as investors would not show interest in the State if there is no communal harmony.
This angered Law and Parliamentary Affairs Minister J.C. Madhuswamy who argued that it was not proper to make blanket allegations that the entire State is gripped by communal trouble. He demanded that the Congress leader should refer to specific instances of communal disturbance.
