Many reputed and credible Kannada media organisations also reported this, Surya said.”I retweeted one of these media outlet reports and said that this is a very serious issue. Farmers are being driven today to commit suicide in Karnataka because of the state-sponsored Waqf encroachment that is taking place and that the state government must at least wake up now,” he said.Surya said after the SP’s clarification, he deleted his tweet and said that “perhaps the news organisations on whose report I had relied on perhaps should be more careful about posting news.” “Once I deleted the tweet, (Karnataka Minister) Priyank Kharge who is ‘a full time troll minister and a part-time constitutional functionary’ stated that he is going to get an FIR registered and within a few minutes, an FIR was registered,” he alleged.He accused senior ministers of trying to exert pressure on the police department to falsify records and arrive at a wrong conclusion with respect to the farmer’s suicide.”FIRs are being registered. Forget me. Even on media organisations for fair and free reporting on the Waqf matter,” Surya said.
