Bengaluru, Oct 17 (IANS) Leader of Opposition in the Karnataka Legislative Council, Chalavadi Narayanaswamy, on Friday said the Kharge family should be held responsible if anything happens to them.
His comments came after the state government withdrew Narayanaswami’s security.
He also alleged that RDPR, IT and BT minister Priyank Kharge and others were behind the move.
“I have been threatened that I will be burnt alive and have also received threatening calls. I raised my voice against the state government, so my security has been withdrawn,” he said.
He said that the Chief Minister and Home Minister should give clarification; Otherwise he will return all the facilities given by the government.
He alleged, “The government has targeted us and wants to eliminate us. Priyank Kharge had recently released a threatening video. Without any complaint, they arrested the man and tightened security at his house. I had shown on social media how I was threatened that I would be burnt alive. I also gave details of the threatening calls I received. Yet, you withdrew my security and provided additional security to him instead.”
He said that notices have been issued and his security personnel have been called back.
“Whatever happens to me, the Kharge family and this government should be held responsible. We are being targeted. They had provided three policemen for my security, which I was entitled to. But today, that too has been taken back. They want to create fear,” he claimed.
Responding to a question, he challenged Minister Priyank Kharge, “How many of your family members are active in Dalit Sangharsh Samiti (DSS), which fights for Dalits? Who among you has participated in community movements?”
He said he would not respond to the alleged “attacks” on the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). He said, “This government did not even dare to take the name of RSS in the cabinet meeting.”
