CM asks MLC B.K. Hariprasad to visit Mangaluru.
Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah insisted that communal harmony must prevail and hatred must end in Dakshina Kannada district.
The coastal district is on the boil following the murder of a youth on May 27 in Bantwal. Prohibitory orders have been clamped in the town till May 30.
On May 29, the Chief Minister went to the residence of Congress MLC B. K. Hariprasad to discuss the prevailing situation in Dakshina Kannada district.
“We had a general discussion on the prevailing situation in Mangaluru. There should be communal harmony in that region. There should not be any hatred among Hindus and Muslims. We have to bring harmony there, for which we had a discussion,” Siddaramaiah told reporters after visiting Mr. Hariprasad’s house.
He said he has asked Mr. Hariprasad to visit Mangaluru.
Regarding the revengeful killings in Dakshina Kannada, Mr. Siddaramaiah said, “We will take action as per law against anyone involved in it irrespective of how influential that person is. No one is above the law. Law alone is above all.”
When asked whether anti-communal task force will be constituted, Mr. Siddaramaiah said he will discuss about it.
