Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) spokesperson M. Lakshmana on Wednesday questioned the motive behind the protests staged by the JD S) against the ongoing probe into the sexual harassment charges against Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna by the Special Investigation Team (SIT).
Addressing a press conference in Mysuru, Mr. Lakshman, Congress candidate for the Mysuru Lok Sabha constituency for which polling was held on April 26, alleged that the protest by the JD(S) in various district headquarters of the State as well as the statements by BJP leaders against the SIT probe amounted to “misleading” the public over ongoing investigations.
Questioning the JD(S) leaders whether they were trying to defend Prajwal Revanna, Mr. Lakshmana asked former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy if he had started “batting” for his nephew after initially stating that he should be punished if he had committed a crime.
