Babri Masjid Case: On Tuesday, Karnataka BJP president BY Vijayendra accused the state government led by the Congress of being “anti-Hindu” in response to the arrest of a person in Hubballi, Karnataka, on suspicion of inciting riots following the demolition of the Babri Masjid in 1992.
Statewide Protest Announced
“Karnataka government is proving again and again that it is an anti-Hindu government. Yesterday in Hubballi, they reopened a 31-year-old case, and Hindu worker Srikant Poojari was arrested; we strongly condemn this,” Vijayendra said. “We are going to hold a huge protest throughout the state, mainly in Freedom Park tomorrow, against the anti-Hindu government and anti-Hindu Chief Minister,” he added.
Hate Politics Charge Rejected by Karnataka Chief Minister
The opposition’s charge of hate politics in relation to the arrest of a man connected to the 1992 riots that followed the demolition of the Babri Masjid was previously rejected by Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah questioned, “What should be done to the wrongdoers? ” in response to the arrest. Shall we simply leave them? “We have told the police to dispose of old cases. No innocents have been arrested. We will proceed according to the court’s direction” he told reporters while at Koppa’s Basapur Airport.
BJP Denounces Hubbali Arrest
The man’s arrest in Hubbali for his alleged involvement in the 31-year-old post-Babri demolition riots was denounced by the BJP. A protest against the state government has been called by the Karnataka state unit. Speaking on the matter earlier, BJP leader BY Vijayendra said, “They have arrested a Ram bhakt when the state and the whole nation is waiting for January 22. We strongly condemn this. We are calling for a protest throughout the state against the government and anti-Hindu accusations,” he added.
Symbolic Protest Escalates
In the meantime, a Chief Minister Siddaramaiah effigy was set on fire in protest of the Hubballi arrest. Peethadheeshwar Jagadguru Paramhans Acharya of Tapaswi Camp in Ayodhya organised the demonstration. The Peethadheeshwar Ayodhya Tapaswi camp called for the overthrow of the Siddaramaiah government and the reinstatement of the president’s rule in the state. “President’s rule is demanded. The Siddaramaiah government should be removed immediately; otherwise, the saints of Ayodhya will march to Karnataka,” he said. “300 Kar Sevaks are being falsely implicated over their alleged involvement in Babri Masjid demolition in 1992,” he added.
