Bharatiya Janata Party slams Nationalist government
Meanwhile, a political outburst occurred, with the Bharatiya Janata Party lashing out at the Congress government over the incident.
The BJP claimed that Hindus were not safe under the Congress government and demanded strict action from the government.
Ashoka, leader of the Opposition in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly and leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party, said: “After this government comes to power, Hindus are no longer safe. Either they will be murdered or raped, or the government will close the case. Such cases in Hubballi and It happened in Haveri too. Now it happened in Karkara. Congress MLC Ivon D'Souza said that if India has some respect, it should take action.”
V Sunil Kumar, a BJP MP from Karkara, said: “In Karkara, a girl was raped by people from a particular community. This was a premeditated act. I condemn this. She was given some drugs and Rape. One victim's mother also filed a complaint. It is said that 2 persons were arrested but the police should take immediate and strict action. Such incidents are often pre-planned. In this case, the government should take strict action and the entire gang should be identified and punished.”
