New Delhi: Bharatiya Janata Party’s national general secretary Vinod Tawde has accused Congress, Mamata Banerjee and the parties in the opposition alliance of appeasement. Vinod Tawde has said that just as Mamata Banerjee is saving Shahjahan Sheikh in Sandeshkhali, similarly Congress’s Siddaramaiah government in Karnataka is trying to save Faiyaz, the criminal who brutally murdered the daughter of his own party councillor. Tawde said that like Sandeshkhali in West Bengal, a poignant incident has happened in Hubli in Karnataka too.
‘Siddaramaiah is telling the story of love affair’
Tawde said, ‘The father of the deceased and the Congress counselor are calling their daughter’s murder a case of love jihad. But, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is trying to mislead the public by calling it a love affair. Just as the Mamata Banerjee government in West Bengal did not take any action on Sandeshkhali, similarly the government of Congress Chief Minister Siddaramaiah in Karnataka is also not taking any action on this type of crime. The slogan of Congress is that ‘security of vote bank prevails, security of women loses.’
‘Government is trying to save Faiyaz’
The BJP general secretary further said, ‘Instead of saving the honor of women in Sandeshkhali, the West Bengal government gave protection to Shahjahan Sheikh, accused of harassing women. Similarly, Congress’s Siddaramaiah government in Karnataka is trying to save criminal Faiyaz. Whereas, the Congress government in Karnataka should give the harshest punishment to the criminal irrespective of his religion. Let us tell you that on Thursday, 23-year-old Neha Hiremath, daughter of Congress councilor Niranjan Hiremath, was allegedly stabbed to death by a youth named Faiyaz at the BVB College campus located in Hubli, Karnataka.
Niranjan had targeted Siddaramaiah
After Neha’s death, her father Congress corporator Niranjan Hiremath said on Friday that love jihad is spreading rapidly in the state. He also lashed out at CM Siddaramaiah and said that first he should get a complete investigation done and then give a statement. The Congress leader had said that the conspiracy to murder his daughter was being hatched for a long time and apart from Faiyaz, 4 other people were also involved in it. (IANS)
