Politics being played by BJP-JD(S) over removal of flag: Dr. G Parameshwara
Bengaluru: Rejecting the Opposition's demand to act sternly against the district administration, the Karnataka Home Minister Dr. G Parameshwara said the government will not act on any official who upheld the law.
He was speaking at the inauguration of the 12th Edition of All India Police Archery Competition at the KSRP Grounds here.
Home Minister Parameshwara said, "Their intentions are very clear, to politicise and whip up such issues ahead of Lok Sabha polls. Activists who had sought to hoist the flag were clearly told not just orally, but Gram Panchayat had even passed a resolution, directing them not to hoist any flag that is associated with a party or religion. They were also given clear instructions to hoist the national flag and Kannada flag. These activists even gave their consent in the writing to GP. But they did exactly the opposite of what they had agreed upon. Therefore, the district administration had to intervene to restore law," he said.
Rejecting the Opposition's demand to act sternly against the district administration, the Home minister said the government will not act on any official who upheld the law.
"If they (BJP and JD-S) know to play politics, we too are in the game," the home minister said.
