Kharge slams BJP’s demand for action against inspector
Home Minister Priyank Kharge defends police actions over Ganesh procession routes, amid BJP protests, emphasizing safety and adherence to regulations.
State Home Minister Priyank Kharge rebuked the BJP's demand for punitive action against police inspector Dhananjaya, who cautioned local Ganpati procession organizers about a potential clash with a mosque on Link Road during a peace meeting on September 7. Kharge maintained that the government would await a Superintendent of Police report before deciding on any disciplinary measures.
He argued that prior Home Minister Ashoka and the current Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai had similarly endorsed such meetings and imposed identical rules. Kharge dismissed the BJP's protest as an attempt to restrict procession routes and festivities near mosques, asserting that the inspector's advisory aimed at ensuring a harmonious celebration.
