Nobody has right to take law into their hands: Siddaramaiah's stern warning to communal elements
Says police have been given clear instructions in this regard
Bengaluru: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has affirmed his commitment to prevent any instances of unnatural deaths in the state, emphasizing that there is no space for communal clashes. Speaking to the media after distributing compensation checks of Rs 25 lakhs to the families of six victims who lost their lives in communal conflicts, the Chief Minister stated that individuals should refrain from taking the law into their own hands, irrespective of their religious affiliations.
Siddaramaiah underscored that clear instructions have been given to the police to ensure that no one has the authority to engage in vigilante actions. He conveyed a resolute message to the people of Karnataka, assuring them that the government will protect the lives and properties of individuals belonging to all religions, including Hindus, Christians, Sikhs, and Buddhists. He stressed that there will be no room for discrimination and highlighted the government's efforts to engage with and compensate the victims who were previously overlooked.
The Chief Minister emphasized that every human life holds value and called for equal treatment regardless of one's religious identity. He criticized the previous BJP government for its partiality in providing compensation, pointing out that while the families of Praveen Kumar Nettaru and Harsha received Rs 25 lakhs, others were neglected. Siddaramaiah raised concerns about the former Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai's selective visit to the house of Praveen Kumar Nettaru, neglecting the proximity of Mohammad Fazil's residence. He insisted that compensation should be provided to all deserving families and announced the government's intention to provide employment opportunities to the relatives of the deceased.
In conclusion, Siddaramaiah reiterated the government's commitment to upholding the sanctity of every human life, emphasizing equal treatment for individuals regardless of their religious background. He asserted the need for appropriate compensation for all affected families and pledged support to provide employment to those who have suffered losses.
