Home Minister Araga Jnanendra has said that the police would investigate the violence in Hubballi from all angles and nab the offenders.
“The investigation is under way. The police are trying to get details about the heaps of stones found near the places of violence. We will shortly come to know who brought the stones and for what purpose. We will take stringent legal action against the offenders, no matter which religion they belong to,” Mr. Jnanendra told mediapersons at Hosapete on Sunday.
Upholding people’s right to protest against injustice, the Home Minister advised against breaking the laws of the land in the name of protest. “One should not take the law into their own hands. Everyone has the right to agitate. But, breaking laws in the name of protest and damaging public property and injuring people is a crime,” Mr. Jnanendra said.
