The ruling Congress and the combined Opposition BJP and Janata Dal (Secular) had a verbal clash in Legislative Assembly on Wednesday over the law and order situation in the State.
The BJP raised the incident of stabbing of a party worker in Belagavi and another incident of a councillor being detained by the police while he was undergoing treatment in a hospital. They also pointed out the clash between police and advocates following the assault of the advocate in Chikkamagalur.
BJP State president B.Y. Vijayendra raised the stabbing incident and criticised the police of filing FIR inappropriately. He accused the police of not taking the case seriously, and that appropriate provisions of IPC and CrPC were not added in the FIR.
