Vijayapura: Home Minister M B Patil warned that Strict action will be taken against those who make statements detrimental to communal harmony will not be spared.
Addressing presspersons here Patil said that everyone enjoys the right to freedom of speech, but those who make statements detrimental to communal harmony will not be spared. Action will be initiated against those making inflammatory speeches.
Progressive thinker and writer K S Bhagwan, Union minister Ananth Kumar Hegde, lawmakers Pratap Simha, Basangouda Patil Yatnal, journalist Ajith Hanumakkanavar and some others have made statements that hurt religious sentiments, he said
He further added that nobody is above the law and it will take its own course and those who cross their limits will be punished. He has already directed senior officials to take necessary action against such people.
It seems there is a competition within the saffron party leaders – mainly between Hegde and Yatnal – who seem eager to grab opportunities to make such statements. But now onwards, they will not be allowed to talk that way, he warned.
