The Rajya Sabha MP from Karnataka also claimed that the state police swung into action in the matter only after repeated protests by the BJP. ”It is shocking that Karnataka under Rahul Gandhi’s Congress government has in a few months become a safe haven for communal elements and criminals. The brutal murder of the Jain monk is shocking,” Chandrasekhar said.
Claiming that the state police swung into action only after repeated protests staged by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), he said it is shocking and questions should be asked as to what is happening in Karnataka where law and order was restored under the previous government of the saffron party.
Citing several recent incidents of crime, Chandrasekhar said it is like ”rampant unleashing of vested interests because they must be feeling that Karnataka is a safe haven as long as the target are these people who are associated with a particular religion or faith”.
