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.

Lokayukta ADGP M. Chandrasekhar calls Kumaraswamy’s allegations ‘false, malicious’
Bengaluru: Lokayukta ADGP and Special Investigation Team (SIT) chief M. Chandrasekhar has strongly refuted the accusations of Union Minister HD Kumaraswamy and termed it ‘false and malicious.’
"HD Kumaraswamy, an accused in SIT's case no.16/14, made false and malicious allegations and threats in a press conference today," said Chandrashekar.
Chandrasekhar stated that these allegations were aimed at intimidating SIT officers, particularly as the SIT has sought legal action against Kumaraswamy, who is currently out on bail. "These accusations were made to prevent us from fulfilling our duties," Chandrasekhar remarked, adding that no matter the status of the accused, they will be treated fairly and according to the law.

He further mentioned, “By attacking me, they may have intended to strike fear in the minds of the SIT officers. However, Chandrasekhar said that no matter how high in position and mighty an accused is, he is just an accused. We will not be deterred by such accusations and threats. I work fearlessly and impartially as SIT head, and promise to give justice to all. I also promise to protect you from criminals and accused in our cases and from external influences.”
Retorting to Kumaraswamy's allegations, Chandrashekar cited George Bernard Shaw’s famous quote, "Never wrestle with pigs. You both get dirty, and the pig likes it," explaining that although they may have to face criminals and accusations in their line of duty, they must remain steadfast in their mission.
“Never lose hope. Because truth always wins. Let us believe in truth, God and our law.Satyameva Jayate,” the letter read.
