Senior Congress leaders Randeep Singh Surjewala, Dr Parmeshwar and DK Shivakumar have made a police complaint in Bengaluru’s High Grounds Police Station against Union Home Minister and BJP leader Amit Shah as well as rally organisers for making provocative remarks, inciting animosity and hatred and defaming the opposition.
DK Shivakumar, the head of the Karnataka Congress, referred to Shah’s comment about riots if the Congress comes to power and stated, “Action should be taken according to law. If a common man had done it, he would have been arrested. The Union Home Minister cannot say if Congress comes to power there will be communal riots. He’s the home minister, not the star campaigner of the BJP.”
