‘Just once try to disturb peace in society…’, Minister Priyank Kharge warns BJP

BENGALURU: Days after he took over as a minister in the Siddaramaiah Cabinet of the newly formed Congress government in the state, Priyank Kharge has reiterated his party’s poll manifesto pledge to take decisive action against those attempting to disrupt peace in the state.

Priyank Kharge was allotted the Rural Development and Panchayat Raj department after 24 more ministers were inducted into the Cabinet on Saturday.

Taking to Twitter, Priyank Kharge said, “The BJP leaders, time and again, are daring us to ban the RSS. It is not like playing under the rule of the blind for long. Now just once try to disturb the peace in society, do politics over the dead, or indulge in any unconstitutional activity. Then we will show the power of Babasaheb Ambedkar’s Constitution”.

ಬಿಜೆಪಿಗರು, ಪದೇ ಪದೇ, RSS ಬ್ಯಾನ್ ಮಾಡಿ ನೋಡಿ ಅಂತಿದಾರೆ.

ಇಷ್ಟು ದಿನ ಕುರುಡರ ಆಡಳಿತದಲ್ಲಿ ಆಟವಾಡಿದ ಹಾಗಲ್ಲಾ.

ಈಗ ಒಂದೇ ಒಂದು ಬಾರಿ ಸಮಾಜದಲ್ಲಿ ಶಾಂತಿ ಕದಡುವ, ಹೆಣದ ಮೇಲೆ ರಾಜಕೀಯ ಬೇಳೆ ಬೇಯಿಸುವ, ಅಸಂವಿಧಾನಿಕ ಚಟುವಟಿಕೆ ಮಾಡುವ ಪ್ರಯತ್ನ ಮಾಡಿ ನೋಡಿ.

ಆಗ ಬಾಬಾ ಸಾಹೇಬ್ ಅಂಬೇಡ್ಕರ್ ಅವರ ಸಂವಿಧಾನದ ಪವರ್ ನಾವು ತೋರಿಸುತ್ತೇವೆ.

Earlier on May 25, Kharge, who is the son of Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, had said that any organisation that sows seeds of “discontent and disharmony” won’t be tolerated.

“Any organisation, either religious, political or social, which sow seeds of discontent and disharmony in Karnataka will not be tolerated. We will tackle them legally and constitutionally, be it Bajrang Dal, PFI or any other organisation. We will not hesitate to ban them if they are going to be a threat to law and order in Karnataka”, the Congress minister said.

Speaking on a possible rollback on the hijab ban in Karnataka, Priyank Kharge had said that the party will review and, if necessary reject, any Bill that is not in favour of the people or is unconstitutional.

The Congress party, in its manifesto for the Karnataka Assembly election, said that the party is committed to taking firm and decisive action against individuals and organisations spreading hatred among communities on grounds of caste and religion. (ANI)
