A large number of JD(S) workers led by the party’s core committee chief G.T. Deve Gowda gathered in front of the Deputy Commissioner’s office on Bannur Road in the city on Wednesday to oppose the investigation into the sexual harassment charges against Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) team constituted by the Congress government in the State.
Contending that the SIT probe had taken a “wrong direction”, Mr. Gowda demanded a CBI probe to unravel all the facts relating to the episode including the crime of releasing the explicit videos publicly and tarnishing the reputation of women.
The JD(S) workers began gathering in front of the Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) Dairy in Siddarthanagar wearing black bands to protest the ‘conspiracy’ against the JD(S) leadership allegedly hatched by the Congress leaders including Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar. Opposing the ongoing SIT probe, the protestors shouted slogans against the Congress government and marched to the Deputy Commissioner’s office, where they staged a demonstration.
