BENGALURU: The Leader of the Opposition in the state Assembly R. Ashoka expressed outrage, alleging that the Karnataka government is appeasing militants and providing them with VIP facilities in jail and asked Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to explain what kind of action he will take against terrorists.
Speaking to reporters after a protest near Race Course Road in Bengaluru, he said on Monday that royal hospitality is being extended to rapists and terrorists lodged in Bengaluru Central Prison, who aim to divide the country.
"When the cooker bomb blast occurred, they called them 'brother.' They even served biryani to those who shouted 'Pakistan Zindabad.' Despite spending Rs 5 crore to install hundreds of CCTV cameras in the jail, they have been turned off, " Ashoka alleged.
