BJP leader Ravi Kumar seeks withdrawal of ‘army training’ advertisement by Minorities Department of Karnataka
Chief Whip of Opposition in Legislative Council N. Ravi Kumar said the advertisement mentions that the Department of Minorities will provide 60-day army training only to youths from minority communities
Opposition Chief Whip N. Ravi Kumar has requested Karnataka's Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar to clarify and retract the "controversial and misleading" advertisement released by the Department of Minorities. In a letter sent on November 11, Mr. Kumar claimed that the advertisement claims the Department of Minorities will provide 60-day army training exclusively to minority youths.
He emphasized that the army does not offer religion-based training and there is no constitutional provision for such training. According to Mr. Kumar, only the army should conduct the army training after a rigorous selection process, which is not the responsibility of the Karnataka government. He accused the advertisement of targeting vulnerable minority youths and misleading them.
