Opposition Leader R. Ashok slams Siddaramaiah over Law and Order situation
Bengaluru: Karnataka Assembly Opposition Leader R. Ashok has launched a sharp attack on the state government, questioning the deteriorating law and order situation under Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s leadership.
In a post on X on Tuesday, Ashok highlighted a series of recent crimes across the state, including the gang rape and extortion of a woman at K.R. Market in Bengaluru and the brutal assault of three laborers in Vijayapura. He also pointed out six cases of robbery, extortion, and theft reported in the past five days in Bidar, Mangaluru, Chitradurga, Mysuru, Anekal, and Hubballi.
“Swami CM Siddaramaiah, law and order has collapsed completely. The common man is living in fear, and there is no safe environment for women to move around freely. How long will you continue to cling to power while running such a disastrous government? Resign and free the people of Karnataka from this misrule,” Ashok said in his statement.

PM Modi hails armed forces after Operation Sindoor, says nation has given fitting reply to terror
New Delhi, May 12: In his first address to the nation after India’s military response to the Pahalgam terror attack, Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised the valour and patience of the armed forces and declared that the country has shown its strength and resolve in the face of terrorism.
Speaking to the nation on Thursday, the Prime Minister said, “We all have seen the capability and patience of the country in the last few days. I salute the armed forces, the military, the intelligence agencies, and our scientists.”
He dedicated the bravery of the Indian forces to the women of the country, stating, “Today, I dedicate this valour, bravery and courage to every mother, every sister and every daughter of the country.”
The Prime Minister referred to the April 22 Pahalgam attack, calling it an act of barbarism that shook the entire nation. “In Pahalgam, terrorists showed brutal cruelty. Innocent people enjoying their holidays were killed in front of their families after being asked about their religion. That incident shook not just India but the world.”
He emphasized that the Indian Army had been given a free hand to act against terrorists. “Every terrorist and terror organisation now understands the consequences of trying to harm our sisters and daughters,” he said, adding that Operation Sindoor is a symbol of national emotion and a firm commitment to justice.
Referring to the military strikes, he said, “The Indian armed forces carried out attacks on terrorist bases inside Pakistan. These terrorists never imagined India would take such a bold step. When Indian missiles and drones struck those sites, it wasn’t just buildings that were destroyed, their courage was crushed too.”
Describing Operation Sindoor as more than just a military campaign, Modi said it represented the collective feelings of the Indian people. “Operation Sindoor is an unbroken pledge of justice. The late night of May 6 and the early hours of May 7 showed the world that this resolve is not just in words but in action.”
In a strong message to Pakistan, he stated, “Pakistan had prepared to strike on the borders, but India struck at their heart.”
He also hinted that India’s military action could resume, saying, “We have only paused our attacks on terrorist and military sites in Pakistan.”
The address comes days after India launched strikes on terror infrastructure across the border under the name Operation Sindoor, in response to the Pahalgam terror attack that killed several civilians. The operation has been widely seen as a decisive response from India’s security forces.
