Bengaluru, Aug 12: Karnataka Congress chief D K Shivakumar has called the August 11 Bengaluru violence a conspiracy of the Bharatiya Janata Party.
Three people died in the police firing, 60 policemen were injured and several vehicles were set ablaze in Bengaluru on Tuesday night after Congress MLA Akanda Srinivas Murthy's nephew Naveen allegedly posted a derogatory message on social media. Naveen was arrested only after the situation went beyond control.
Condemning the violence, Shivakumar tweeted: "No one must take law into their own hands. The government must take strict and exemplary action against the person who made the derogatory social media post as well as those who indulged in rioting and arson."
"For us, Karnataka is important, the image of Bengaluru is important. These people (the MLA's nephew who posted an anti-Islamic tweet) are trying to colourise this. All this is BJP's conspiracy and hidden agenda. BJP leaders are provoking everyone," Shivakumar said.
In a press meet, Shivakumar showed the copies the of the derogatory social media posts by Naveen, who also had admitted that he had voted for BJP.
“Police should have arrested Naveen by registering a suo moto case against him for such derogatory posts. Unfortunately, even when people lodged complaint against the accused, the police failed to swing into action. The police could have averted the violence by taking action against Naveen immediately,” he said.
