Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly, R. Ashoka, expressed disapproval of AICC President Mallikarjun Kharge’s remarks against the RSS and BJP. Ashoka questioned the application of hate speech laws to individuals critical of the Gandhis. He warned of consequences for the Congress party’s alleged anti-Hindu actions, urging their removal from Karnataka.
During an election rally in Assam, Kharge referenced the Quran and made controversial statements, likening the RSS and BJP to a poisonous snake. This led to backlash and accusations of incitement to violence against party workers.
In response, the BJP Yuva Morcha announced a protest at Freedom Park in Bengaluru to denounce Kharge and the Karnataka government’s policies. The protest, led by State President Dheeraj Muniraj, aims to highlight concerns over Kharge’s statements and the safety of BJP members.
A formal complaint was lodged by the Karnataka BJP unit against Kharge for his alleged provocative speech. The complaint, submitted to the State Director General and Inspector General of Police, called for Kharge’s immediate arrest and heightened security measures to safeguard BJP workers from potential violence.
