Bengaluru, Nov 6: Expressing his anguish at the "wild allegations" levelled against him by BJP MP Shobha Karandlaje, urban development and Haj minister R Roshan Baig said that he had decided to file a defamation suit against the former for dragging his name in connection with R Rudresh's murder.
Home Minister reacts
Dismissing the allegations made by Ms Karandlaje linking Mr Baig to the murder of RSS worker R Rudresh, home minister G Parwameshwara said that the investigation had revealed no such connections.
Refuting the charges levelled by the BJP leader, Parameshwara said, "She needs to measure her words while speaking about someone. She is an MP, who should not accuse individuals of crime without any information. Our investigation has revealed no links between Baig and Rudresh's murder."
In the eventuality of Ms Karandlaje being in possession of evidence that connects Baig to the murder, she should either make it public or disclose the details to police, Parameshwara said. "But, if Karandlaje has no evidence, then she is also an offender," he added.
Law minister TB Jayachandra too has taken umbrage at Karandlaje's statements. "As a member of a national party, is it correct to accuse someone of a crime without evidence?" he asked.
According to sources, Karndlaje's statements have not gone down well with a section of the senior leaders in the party, who are reportedly upset with her remarks. The RSS too chose to distance itself from her statements.
"We are not associating with her remarks, and have no comments to make in this regard. We have congratulated police for arresting the culprits in Rudresh's murder and it's up to them to investigate the matter further," an RSS spokesperson said.
