Bengaluru: BJP MLAs trooped into the well of the Karnataka Assembly here protesting the registration of a case against 40 lawyers in Ramanagara district.
The opposition BJP MLAs on Tuesday trooped into the well of the Karnataka Assembly here protesting the registration of a case against 40 lawyers in Ramanagara district.
They alleged that the lawyers, including the office bearers of the bar association, were booked yesterday based on a false allegation by a lawyer who they alleged was barred from the bar for an objectionable social media post.
Defending the advocates who were booked, the BJP members alleged that the lawyer had posted derogatory content against a Varanasi judge who had given orders related to the Gyanvapi Mosque.
The BJP MLAs also demanded action against the sub-inspector of police who registered a case against the 40 lawyers.
However, the state Home Minister Dr G Parameshwara said he wanted to know the reason that led to the registration of a case.
Irked with his reply, the BJP members came inside the well of the house and raised slogans condemning the government. Amid the commotion, the government tabled a few bills and passed them.

After fake ID crackdown, IRCTC daily new accounts down to 5000 from one lakh: Railways
New Delhi (PTI): With a new, stringent system to establish user identity, the number of new user IDs being added daily on the IRCTC website has declined to about 5,000 from nearly one lakh, officials said on Saturday.
Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw noted that the crackdown by Indian Railways on train ticket booking through fake identities is yielding positive results, according to a press note.
Before the latest reforms, this number had touched nearly one lakh new user IDs per day, it said.
"Following the introduction of a stringent system to establish user identity and detect fake IDs, about 5,000 new user IDs are now being added daily on the IRCTC website," the note said.
The officials stated that these steps have already helped Indian Railways deactivate 3.03 crore fake accounts.
"Another 2.7 crore user IDs have either been temporarily suspended or identified for suspension based on the suspicious activities they are indulging in," they said.
The Union minister directed officials to ensure that the ticketing system is reformed to a level where all travellers are able to book tickets easily through a real and genuine user ID, the press note added.
Additionally, Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw has directed officials to provide local cuisine of the region in Vande Bharat trains.
Introducing local cuisine that reflects the culture and tastes of the regions being traversed will significantly enhance the passenger experience, officials said.
This facility will be expanded to all the trains progressively in future, they added.
