Bengaluru: The Karnataka Congress responding to BJP MLA from Vijayapura Basanagouda Patil Yatnal’s statement that 102-year-old Doreswamy a fake freedom fighter who behaves like a Pakistan agent, said it was unsolicited and unpardonable for the MLA to call “the conscious and socially alert” Doreswamy thus.
“The BJP should ask Yatnal to immediately step down for his communally venomous verbose and seek an apology,” Congress said in a tweet.
When contacted, BJP spokesperson and MLC N Ravikumar said it was not proper for Yatnal to speak like that.
“We have lots of respect for Doreswamy, but we too feel that he (Doreswamy) is biased.”
Denouncing Yatnal’s statement, leader of the opposition in the Karnataka Assembly Siddaramaiah demanded that Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa initiate action against the MLA or else accept his views as that of the government.
In another tweet, Siddaramaiah asked Yediyurappa to keep in mind the “uncontrollable” situation in Delhi.
“A major trouble is awaiting if you don’t control hate speeches,” Siddaramaiah tweeted.
