Mangaluru: Former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Saturday slammed Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai over several recent incidents of moral policing in Coastal Karnataka and added that the Chief Minister was himself encouraging the Hindutva goons.
Siddaramaiah was speaking to media reporters in Mangaluru when he added that he wondered if Bommai knew what the Constitution of the country said.
“The CM says these acts are reactions to the actions. What does it mean? What he wants to convey by saying that? Is murder for murder necessary? The CM is himself encouraging this. Does he know anything about Constitution? Does Constitution allow this? Does our law allow this?” he asked adding that the government should not allow such rogue acts.
“I condemn it and demand strict action against those involved.” He added.
The remarks came in the wake of over six cases of moral policing by the right-wing Hindutva groups in less than one month in Dakshina Kannada district.
