Cong govt in Karnataka creating encouraging atmosphere for anti-national activities: BJP
New Delhi, Mar 2: The BJP on Saturday alleged the Congress government in Karnataka has created an "encouraging" atmosphere for anti-national activities in the state.
Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar cited a forensic analysis to assert that "Pakistan zindabad" slogan was indeed raised by Congress MP Syed Naseer Hussain's supporters inside the assembly premises and also hit out at the state government over a blast in Bengaluru that left 10 persons injured.
Chandrasekhar said that it should be probed if the two incidents are linked.
He told reporters that Congress leaders, including ministers, as part of coordinated efforts first accused the BJP of lying that slogans in support of Pakistan were raised and have now sought to downplay the blast by linking it to business rivalry without any evidence.

It is an attempt to pressure the police to brush the incident under the carpet, he claimed.
Chandrasekhar said that corruption and appeasement politics have started in full swing since the Congress returned to power in the state.
Some people think they are above law when the Congress is in power, he said and accused the government of creating an atmosphere which is encouraging for those engaging in anti-national activities and other crimes.
BJP spokesperson Pratyush Kanth said the Congress has a history of its leaders making remarks favouring Pakistan and noted that B K Hariprasad had recently said the Congress has no enmity with the neighbouring country.

MP: Congress MLA's son booked for abetting woman's suicide
Bhopal, Sep 15: Madhya Pradesh police on Sunday registered a case against Pushpraj Singh Patel, son of Congress MLA Sena Mahesh Patel, for allegedly abetting the suicide of a 25-year-old woman, an official said.
The woman, identified as Damini Thakur from Alirajpur district, killed herself earlier this week unable to stand repeated threats issued by the accused who was forcing her to marry him, an official said.
The accused is the son of Congress MLA from Jobat constituency, Sena Mahesh Patel.
"The woman's family members complained that Pushpraj Singh Patel was forcing her to marry him," said Superintendent of Police (SP) Rajesh Vyas.
The accused had repeatedly threatened Thakur and her previous fiancés, causing disruptions in her engagements. In 2019, Patel’s threats led to the dissolution of Thakur's first engagement. A similar situation emerged in 2024 with her second engagement.
The woman was engaged to a man from Vadodara in 2019 but Patel repeatedly threatened her fiance and even attacked him, leading to the cancellation of the engagement, the SP said.
"She (Thakur) was engaged to a man from Vadodara in 2024, but Patel threatened her brother and fiance, which created apprehension about breaking the engagement, forcing the woman to commit suicide," Vyas said.
Police have registered a case under section 108 of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS) and are investigating the matter.
