Hubballi, June 14: Categorically declining the role of BJP in the murder of journalist Gauri Lankesh, former chief minister and BJP leader Jagadish Shettar said that the culprits in the case should be punished.
Speaking to reporters here on Thursday, Shettar said that the SIT has arrested some of the accused in related to Gauri Lankesh murder and interrogating them. But the investigating officers should find out the real culprits. Whoever it may be, those who committed crime should be punished, he said.
Both Veerashaiva and Lingayat are one and the same. Then where is the question of separate religion. The people have sent those who fought for separate Lingayat religion tag to home in the Assembly election. Now, they have been saying that they would fight legally for the separate religion tag. Before the election, they should have fought legally. But the people have not believed about the separate religion tag in election. Now, they have no option to go before the people. So, they have planned to take legal fight, Shettar criticised.
