Siddaramaiah gave clean chit to notorious people: Basavaraj Bommai

Mangaluru: Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai hailed the police for exercising maximum restraint even in the face of extreme violence and slammed opposition leaders for calling the ‘notorious people’ innocent.

“There are videos taken by media persons and captured in the CCTV cameras, which show how large scale stone-pelting had taken place (in Mangaluru).

In a systematic manner, people had covered their face, destroyed the CCTV cameras and carried out arson and looting in an organised way. They also indulged in stone pelting and used petrol bomb,” Bommai told reporters.

Reacting to Siddaramaiah’s statement that innocent people were killed, Bommai said, “Siddaramaiah has called the stone pelters and those involved in arson innocent and wants to support them.

By calling them innocent, Siddaramaiah has given clean chit to the notorious people but we have not, he said.

Two persons were killed in a police firing in Mangaluru last Thursday, December 19 as the protest against the CAA had turned violent, following which the city was brought under curfew and mobile internet service was suspended.

According to the Act, members of Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi and Christian communities, who have come from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan till December 31, 2014, and facing religious persecution there, would not be treated as illegal immigrants but given Indian citizenship.

The Act says refugees of the six communities would be given Indian citizenship after residing in India for five years, instead of 11 earlier.
