‘He doesn’t seem normal’: K’taka home minister responds to Cong MLC’s ‘he smokes weed and speaks’ remark
India Today
Karnataka home minister Araga Jnanendra has said that Congress leader BK Hariprasad "does not seem normal". This comes after Hariprasad suggested that the home minister smokes weed before issuing statements.
After Congress leader BK Hariprasad suggested that Karnataka home minister Araga Jnanendra smokes marijuana before making statements, the BJP leader has issued a response.
In his reply, Araga Jnanendra said that BK Hariprasad "does not seem normal".
Karnataka home minister Araga Jnanendra came under fire from the Opposition last week after he made a controversial remark regarding the alleged murder of a young man named Chandu by one Shahid in Bengaluru.
The home minister responded to the murder by saying the 22-year-old was murdered because he 'didn’t know Urdu'. The BJP leader withdrew his statement soon after.
Congress leaders slammed Araga Jnanendra for communalising the murder and said he was unfit to remain in the position. In a complaint, Karnataka Youth Congress president Mohammad Nalapad said, "The home minister made the above statement to deliberately and maliciously outrage the religious feelings and beliefs of Muslim religion in order to vilify them."
