Terming Union Minister Pralhad Joshi’s remarks on the Deputy Chief Minister’s letter pertaining to the Old Hubballi violence case of 2022 as misleading, president of Hubballi Dharwad Congress urban district unit Altaf Halwoor has clarified that the release of only what he said innocent people have been sought in the case.
In a press release, Mr. Halwoor has said that the Congress leaders have sought the release of only innocent people accused of violence in the case.
“Our plea is that some innocent people have been arrested in the case and have been denied bail also. We have not claimed that all those arrested in the case are innocent. What we have demanded is that there should be proper and speedy inquiry to identify and release innocent people arrested in the case,” he has said.
