Sharply responding to issues involving hijab, halal and loudspeakers in masjids, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) spokesperson Priyank Kharge said that the government is dead in the State and Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai has turned dumb.
“The government in the State is dead. Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai has turned dumb. Bajrang Dal, a right wing organisation, is running the government,” Mr. Kharge told mediapersons in Kalaburagi on Tuesday.
“After hijab and halal, the right wing organisations have now turned to loudspeakers atop mosques. The pollution control board and the Supreme Court have formulated some guidelines for the use of outdoor loudspeakers. They are applicable not just to masjids but also to temples and churches as well. Let the government strictly implement these regulations instead of pointing to the loudspeakers atop masjids alone to politicise the issue and polarise the communities,” Mr. Kharge said.
