‘Home Minister should stop giving irresponsible statements’

Leader of the Opposition Siddaramaiah has alleged that Home Minister Araga Jnanendra has been giving irresponsible statements that could damage the social fabric of the State and urged him to stop giving such statements.

The Home Minister has given an irresponsible statement about the killing of Gouripalya Chandru, a young man in Bengaluru. He has claimed that he was killed as he was not willing to speak Urdu. And then in a few hours, he gives a different statement. This will create several problems, Mr. Siddaramaiah told journalists in Hubballi on Wednesday. He was leaving for the launch of some programmes in Badami.

“Mr. Jnanendra is giving such statements because he lacks experience. He lacks the eligibility to manage a sensitive department like the Home Ministry,’’ he said.
