As Hindutva groups are escalating campaigns against Muslim traders in Karnataka, Janata Dal (Secular) leader H.D. Kumaraswamy questioned the silence of Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on the developments and threatened to launch a padayatra if he failed to act and bring back communal amity in Karnataka within a month.
Hitting out strongly against increasing instances of religious polarisation, latest being the campaign against halal meat, Mr. Kumaraswamy accused the Chief Minister of willfully keeping silent on these issues.
