Expressing concern over the Gujarat Anti-Terrorist Squad arresting a woman from Bengaluru for amplifying the digital propaganda of Al-Qaeda in India and the Mumbai police detecting a narcotics drug manufacturing unit in Mysuru, the BJP has accused the Congress government of protecting anti-nationals.
Speaking to presspersons in Delhi, BJP MP and former Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai accused the government of protecting anti-nationals, and said law and order in Karnataka had completely deteriorated.
“The police have lost control over criminal elements. Just last week, the Maharashtra police came to Mysuru and seized drugs worth around ₹394 crore. Yet, the Karnataka Home Minister claimed that he had no information regarding the drug operation,” he said.
He further said that a Gujarat ATS team came to Bengaluru and arrested a woman who is a member of Al-Qaeda in the Indian subcontinent. “This woman was recruiting for Al-Qaeda in the subcontinent. It was the Gujarat ATS team that arrested her. What were the Karnataka police doing?” he said.
Another BJP MP, Capt Brijesh Chowta, alleged in Delhi that Karnataka was becoming a safe abode of anti-nationals and terrorists because of the maladministration of the Siddaramaiah-led Congress government.
