Former Minister K.S. Eshwarappa wants the State and Union Governments to take stringent action against people and organisations engaged in disturbing peace.
Addressing a media conference in Shivamogga on April 20, Mr. Eshwarappa cited incidents of violence at DJ Halli and KG Halli in Bengaluru. A Hindutva activist (Harsha) was murdered in Shivamogga. Another youth was murdered in Bengaluru.
“Now, violence has been reported in Hubballi. There are video clips to suggest that a moulvi instigated the crowd. Leaders of the Congress party were also behind such acts. I appeal to the State Government and Prime Minister to take stringent action against people involved in such crimes,” he said.
