Govt will take stances which will make you commit suicide, Karkala MLA on IAS Senthil's resignation
Udupi: Karkala MLA Sunil Kumar on Tuesday stirred controversy after he remarked that the Central government will take more stiff and strong decisions in future and people like Sasikanth Senthil might think of committing suicide.
“Opposing the decisions taken by PM Modi you have submitted resignation now. The government will take more such decisions after which you might think of committing suicide” Kumar said while taking a dig at Sasikanth Senthil who resigned from Indian Administrative Services last week.
Speaking at an event in Udupi on Tuesday Sunil said “The whole world is accepting and appreciating the Modi rule but some District Collector resigns opposing the government’s stands on Kashmir and Ram Mandir issues. I want to tell people of such mentalities that we are not stopping at abrogation of Article 370, we will get into POK as well. You have resigned today against Modi’s stance, we will take more such stances where you will have to commit suicide” he added.
