Udupi, Oct 30: Karnataka chief minister Siddaramiah on Sunday asked the Bharatiya Janata Party leaders to check crime record of the activists of Sangh Parivar before demanding ban on organizations like Popular Front of India and Social Democratic Party of India.

Responding to a query on BJP's demand to ban SDPI and PFI for their alleged role in the murder of RSS activist Rudresh in Bengaluru, Mr Siddaramaiah said that the investigation into the case is still in progress and the alleged role of any Muslim dominant organizations was not yet confirmed.

“If you want me to impose ban on PFI and SDPI, then what about Hindutva organizations such as Vishwa Hindu Parishad, Bajrang Dal and Sri Rama Sene? The role of the activists of such saffron groups has already been confirmed in several murder cases including in coastal Karnataka,” he said.

It could be recalled here that BJP activist Praveen Poojary was hacked to death by a group of miscreants belonging to a Hindutva outfit in Udupi in August this year for allegedly transporting cattle. Bajrang Dal leader Bhuvit Shetty had brutally murdered a Hindu youth, Harish Poojary, to trigger communal riot in Dakshina Kannada in November 2015.

Well side

That is why we support Congress. For them there is no Communal. They treat all same.
People need to think twice before casting their valuable Votes so that their vote may not go waste. Do not allow your vote to be divided so that the third party may not enjoy their Victory.
