Karnataka Chief Minister Bommai said that government will not tolerate violence of any kind after an alleged attack on Muslim fruit vendors outside a temple by a group called Sri Ram Sene.
Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaj Bommai on Monday said that government will not tolerate if one takes law into one's hands or indulges in violence.
"Ours is a government formed according to the Constitution. We are working with the spirit of law, order and equality. There is no problem in spreading one's thoughts. But the government will not tolerate if one takes law into one's hands or indulges in violence," Bommai said in a statement.

"Ours is a peaceful progressive state. We know how to protect this state. We will show it through our deeds," Bommai added, refuting Congress' charge of government ignoring state's development.
Replying to a question about Siddaramaiah's statement, Bommai said, "Many Hindu youth were killed during his tenure as the chief minister. He withdrew the cases against the outfits which were accused of having a role in them. Had he lost his senses then?"
