‘Won’t be tolerated’, says ShahMeanwhile, addressing a press conference in Guwahati, Shah said the issue regarding Revanna reported in the media “is very hurtful and cannot be tolerated in any way.”The home minister said Congress has been alleging that an NDA partner’s candidate is involved in the incident, “but I just want to ask a small question: whose government is there in that state (Karnataka)?””The Congress is in power in Karnataka, and this matter must have come to their attention. Why has it not taken any action on it so far? We cannot take any action as law and order is a state issue,” Shah said.In Delhi, Union minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar told reporters that the BJP has zero tolerance towards crimes against women and welcomed the decision of the JD(S) to suspend its MP Prajwal. He also accused the Congress of double standards and being selective on the issue.If the Congress government in Karnataka was aware of the case for weeks and months, then why did it not act so far against the accused, he asked.Also Tuesday, more political parties and leaders attacked the BJP-JD(S) alliance over the allegations. AIMIM MP Asaduddin Owaisi also used a derogatory term to attack Prajwal.RJD leader Tejashwi Prasad Yadav attacked the ruling BJP at the Centre, accusing it of “protecting rapists and helping them get away.””Why are PM Narendra Modi and HM Amit Shah maintaining a stoic silence over the Karnataka sex scandal? The BJP government at the Centre helped the accused (Prajwal Revanna) escape to Germany. The accused is involved in the abuse of around 2,500 women in Karnataka. What happened to their (BJP leaders) ‘Beti Padhao and Beto Bachao’ slogan? They (BJP) are more into protecting rapists and helping them get away,” he said in Patna.Earlier in the day, 11 Congress workers were taken into preventive custody following an altercation between them and JD(S) cadres over the allegations.The Congress workers protested in front of the Denissons Hotel in Hubballi, where the core-committee meeting of the JD(S) party was held. The JD(S) cadres, who were also present there, raised slogans against the Congress government for allegedly leaking the videos and degrading the dignity of women, police said.(With inputs from ENS, PTI and ANI)
