BJP slams Karnataka government over law and order situation
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has criticized the Siddaramaiah-led Congress government in Karnataka over the state's law and order situation. The party alleges that young girls and women are not safe in the state, citing recent incidents of violence against women.
The BJP's criticism comes in the wake of a news report about a minor Dalit girl who was allegedly impregnated by a youth in Hubballi. The party took to social media to condemn the incident, alleging that the girl was "raped by a fanatic" and that there is no "protection for Hindu young women and girls in Hubballi."
The BJP also cited the recent murder of Congress Councillor Niranjan Hiremath's 23-year-old daughter Neha, who was stabbed to death inside her college campus in Hubballi. The party attacked the state government over the investigation in the case, which is being probed by the State's Criminal Investigation Department.
The BJP urged the government to take immediate action to protect women and girls in the state. The party also called for the arrest of those responsible for the recent incidents of violence against women.
