The Karnataka BJP delegation recently met with the state’s top police officials to lodge a complaint against Congress leader M. Laxman. The complaint accuses Laxman, a spokesperson for the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee and a close aide of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, of causing public unrest through his statements against Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Union Minister of State V. Somanna.
Led by MLA T.S. Srivatsa, the BJP delegation submitted the complaint, urging immediate action against Laxman for allegedly making false statements that incite public mischief and spread misinformation. Laxman had claimed that violence in Ballari was instigated by Amit Shah, leading to the death of a Congress worker.
Laxman further alleged that Union Minister Somanna, who reportedly conveyed Amit Shah’s message, would be exposed if subjected to brain mapping. He accused Somanna of making provocative remarks during his visit to Ballari, insinuating a conspiracy involving BJP leaders.
The BJP MLA expressed serious concern over Laxman’s statements, emphasizing that such false claims could create fear and unrest among the public. He criticized Laxman for spreading baseless allegations against Union Ministers without evidence, potentially disrupting peace and harmony between the Central and state governments.
The BJP delegation called for legal action against Laxman, citing his actions as a serious criminal offense under specific sections of the law. They emphasized the need for equal application of the law and urged authorities to initiate legal proceedings against the Congress spokesperson for his provocative statements.
