Mysuru: As part of a Statewide agitation, BJP workers staged a demonstration in front of the DC Office here this morning, in protest against the harassment of party workers by JD(S) – Congress Coalition Government in the State.
Accusing Home Minister M.B. Patil of hoisting false cases on BJP workers for petty reasons, the Party alleged that the coalition Government was out to crush dissent by use of Police force.
Maintaining that the government had taken no action against Congress leader Belur Gopalakrishna, who had reportedly called for the killing of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the protestors alleged that the State Government was threatening BJP workers across the State.
Calling for the Governor’s intervention on the issue, the protestors demanded action against Home Minister who has unleashed a scare among netizens for criticising the Government for its maladministration.
They also strongly condemned the Government’s intention to curb freedom of expression.
