Former Karnataka minister KS Eshwarappa reacted to the beheading of a shopkeeper in Udaipur and said the murderers should be taught a lesson through murder.
Former Karnataka minister KS Eshwarappa reacted to the murder of a shopkeeper in Udaipur and said, “In a democracy, these murderers should be taught a lesson either through murder or the right punishment for them.”
A shopkeeper was murdered in broad daylight in Udaipur on Tuesday by two men who chopped his head off. They later recorded a video admitting to killing the man over a social media post in support of Nupur Sharma.
In a separate video posted by the two men, the duo is heard admitting to the murder and threatening Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Reacting to the video threatening PM Modi, KS Eshwarappa said, “No nationalist will tolerate this audacious remark of threatening to kill Prime Minister Narendra Modi and still continue to live in this country.”
He added that the prime minister might say that peace in the country must be protected, but that does not mean protecting the murderers.
