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.

BJP has history of ‘contradictory alliances’, says BK Hariprasad
Bengaluru: Congress MLC B. K. Hariprasad has launched a sharp attack on the BJP, accusing the party of hypocrisy over its criticism of alliance politics in Tamil Nadu.
In a post on X on Friday, Hariprasad said BJP leader B. L. Santhosh criticising the Congress party’s alliance politics in Tamil Nadu was “not just laughable, but the height of political contradiction.”
He said the Congress has always joined hands with like-minded parties to protect secular and democratic values in the country.
Hariprasad questioned the BJP over several of its past and present alliances across the country. Referring to Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Tripura, Bihar and Maharashtra, he accused the BJP of sharing power with parties it had earlier criticised.
He alleged that the BJP had aligned with separatist and corruption-linked political forces in different states for political gains.
“The BJP, which speaks against alliances today, should first look at its own political history,” he said, adding that the party’s record was full of “contradictions and changing stands.”
Hariprasad also accused the BJP of using central agencies such as the Enforcement Directorate, Income Tax Department and CBI as political tools to target opposition leaders, topple governments and influence electoral mandates.
He further claimed that the people of Tamil Nadu had strongly rejected the BJP and its ideology in the recent election.
“Congress forms alliances to protect the Constitution, secularism and national unity, while the BJP enters into alliances only for power,” he said.
