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.

Put petty politics aside; it's not about one party, but India: Rahul on TMC's loss in polls
New Delhi (PTI): Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday termed the BJP's victory in Bengal and Assam assembly polls a "theft" of the mandate, and a big step forward in the saffron party's mission to "destroy" Indian democracy.
Gandhi also came out in support of the TMC, which has been trounced by the BJP in the polls, and urged those gloating over the loss of Mamata Banerjee's party to put petty politics aside.
"Some in the Congress, and others, are gloating about TMC's loss.They need to understand this clearly - the theft of Assam and Bengal's mandate is a big step forward by the BJP in its mission to destroy Indian democracy," Gandhi said in a post on X.
"Put petty politics aside. This is not about one party or another. This is about India," he said in his post.
The BJP ousted Trinamool Congress from power in Bengal and captured power for the third time in a row in Assam in results of assembly polls declared on Monday.
