Take strict action against the problem creators: Siddaramaiah

Bengaluru: CM Siddaramaiah has directed the police to make strict laws to curb the violence across Dakshina Kannada district.
Addressing the gathering on Monday, the CM directed the police to put the trouble makers behind bars or book them under the Karnataka Control of Organised Crimes Act (KCOCA) or the Goonda Act. He also asked them to crack down on Sri Rama Sene, Bajrang Dal, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, Popular Front of India and the Social Democratic Party of India, saying they were responsible for the violence.
He said Udupi and Dakshina Kannada districts were known for religious harmony. Following the stabbing of an RSS worker, the region has been in the grip of communal tension over the past week. “People in the two districts are peace-loving. But in the last few years, communal forces have converted the coastal belt into a communal laboratory,” Siddaramaiah said.
The government is planning to put a ban on organizations in the coastal belt, he said. “I have spoken to the DG and IGP, ADGP and officers who earlier served in these two districts. We will use their feedback to control the violence. We will not let anybody claim a human life for political mileage,” CM added.
DG & IGP R K Dutta will soon visit the two districts to monitor the situation, he announced.
