The Karnataka government on Thursday ordered closure of a mall here for seven days after a farmer was allegedly denied entry owing to his attire — a ‘dhoti’ and a white shirt –, an incident which drew strong condemnation from members cutting across party lines in the Legislative Assembly.
The government also termed the alleged insult to the farmer as an infringement on “dignity and self respect”, and said it cannot be tolerated.
“I checked with the BBMP (Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike) commissioner as to what can be done. The government has the powers. Action will be taken against the (G T World) mall in accordance with law immediately and we will ensure that the mall is closed for seven days,” Urban Development Minister Byrathi Suresh told the House.
