Cong govt will fight legally, Guv’s possible nod for prosecution against CM: Parameshwara


PTI, Aug 5, 2024, 1:58 PM IST

Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara on Monday expressed hope that Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot will not reject the Cabinet’s advice to withdraw his “show-cause notice” to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah in connection with the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) site allotment ‘scam’.

He said, in case, the Governor rejects the Cabinet’s advice and grants permission for prosecution against the CM, the Congress government will fight it legally.

“As a Cabinet we have advised the Governor to withdraw his show-cause notice and to reject the petition seeking Siddaramaiah’s prosecution by activist T J Abraham. I’m hopeful and don’t feel that the Governor will do it (sanction prosecution), despite the Cabinet’s advice along with facts,” Parameshwara said.

The statement comes  in the wake of Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot issuing a show cause notice to Siddaramaiah, which is seen as a precursor to giving sanction to his prosecution in the alleged Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) site allotment “scam”.

The notice was issued on July 26 based on a plea filed by advocate-activist T J Abraham. The chief minister was directed to submit his reply within seven days.
