BENGALURU:
“There is no question of compromise on the issue of protecting the harmony and secular heritage of the Karnataka. Hate politics will not be tolerated, and the environment of fear will be eradicated,” Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said.
Siddaramaiah gave these assurances in a meeting held with more than 40 writers and heads of various organizations at Home Office Krishna.
He congratulated the writers for taking a firm stand against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which, the CM added, ‘is putting the country at risk and destroying the pluralism of this soil,’ as well as thanked them for volunteering to warn people in this regard during elections.
The CM also issued stern instructions to the State Director General of Police to take strict action against moral policing, slanderous trolls and those who threaten writers. ‘I will consider the facts in the letter given by the writers seriously. Our government will take action as per requirement,’ he said.
