“Act sensibly and act responsibly!!” he added.

On Wednesday, December 18 Siddaramaiah said that the CM BS Yediyurappa led state government is suppressing the people’s right to protest by using powers vested to the government as per section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code.

“After a series of assault on the values enshrined in the Constitution, it is time to take away the Right to Peaceful Protest through Sec144. I never expected Yediyurappa to play to the tune of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. I thought he was more progressive and inclusive,” tweeted Siddramaiah.
