Bengaluru: Attack on Lokayukta - BJP, JD(S) slam govt over 'lawlessness' in state


Bengaluru Mar 8 (DHNS): Opposition parties, the BJP and the JD(S) on Wednesday came down heavily on the state government for the attack on Lokayukta Justice P Vishwanth Shetty, saying that law and order had completely collapsed in the state.

BJP state president B S Yeddyurappa said the incident was yet another example of "lawlessness" in the state. "That one gets the courage to attack the Lokayukta itself shows how bad the situation is in the state," he stated.

Expressing shock over the attack on Shetty, JD(S) national president and former prime minister H D Deve Gowda said that Karnataka had become a 'goonda raj' under the Siddaramaiah government.


Deve Gowda & Yeddyurappa

"If a judge can be stabbed in broad daylight like this, one wonders where we are living. Is this a goonda raj? On one hand the government weakened the Lokayukta - now this. When the government can't even protect the Lokayukta, how can it protect the people of the state," he stated.

Later, Gowda visited Justice Shetty at the hospital where he is being treated upon.

BJP leader R Ashoka demanded that the Centre should impose President's rule in the state.JD(S) state president H D Kumaraswamy said the President's rule should have been imposed five to six months ago itself. "If that had happened, we wouldn't be in such a situation today. Both the BJP and the Congress are responsible for such lawlessness in the state today," he said.

He also said that ever since the Congress came to power, there had been continued attacks on bureaucrats and police officials. "Now a judge has been attacked. CM should take complete responsibility for this.

    Rubbish. It is lawlessness in the Sic mind of a person who cannot control his emotions - the one who attacked the Lokayukta. Under Mr Deve Gowda and Mr Yediyurappa tenure as CMs weren't there murder, rape, assault, riots etc happening???
    What needs to be probed is did the Lokayukta's office relax the security in his office to give the people free access to meet him. That is what the people of the State need to know. If it is found correct, it is a serious security lapse by the Lokayukta office. The person responsible for violating the State Government procedure on security to be followed in the Lok Ayuktas office need to be held responsible.

    There are plenty Of examples to prove So. Widespead Vollence In mangalore recently is a clear example. Morever Its ministers have acted with total Irresponsibly and continued to give unrequired statements instead of make Peace in mangalore case. it appears theres nobody to ask them! There are other examples Khalburgi, Gowrishanker, Nallapad,Bangalore congress Corporator indulged in violence etc etc many many . Government head himself is in forefront in giving cleanchit to his ministers alleged with grave charges and making quick enquiries and then close all in few days. Siddu was highly credible person in Janata Dal .Unfortunately Congress Used him wrongly and now poor person has to take the blame

    Its very strange that an unknown person has been allowed to enter the Chamber of Lokayukta Official! This is very serious. For vote bank, people do all kind of acts, without thinking about someone's family. What a shame?? The Building security system must be dismissed without any benefits and put them behind bars with rigorous work. This is totally non sense. Lets not consider this to be a BJP Congress issue. However, this now becomes a issue for opposition parties to gain votes without any developmental promise.

    What has happened is horrible and needs to be condemned. However, lawless situation is where the government actively supports destruction of harmony and unity, creates strife for political gain and kills people in the name of criminal and communal ideology. Yeddi has supervised if not orchestrated such things during his tenure as cheap-minister of the State. Did he denounce such situation as lawless?

    Firstly, it is an unfortunate incident which has happened, which could have been averted by deploying the right security, where its needed. In India, we provide security, to worthless people, who do not deserve any security, but have Z security cordons. Its a shame that security is not as per the need of the hour.
    Secondly, we Kannadigas, have always been a welcoming community, who believe in "Athithi Devo Bhava" and have generously accommodated persons from all the states, who have found an employment in our dear Karnataka state, and who have made it a home away from home. I have many north Indian friends who swear that the safety in Karnataka is much better than their own state, where they have been brought up since childhood.
    Having said, this, such an incident from a person named Tejas Sharma, who is definitely not a native of Karnataka, should be an eye opener for the people of Karnataka on how to ensure the protection of the state in future, instead of bickering about it in politics. This could have happened under any regime which would be in control today.
    In summary, we kannadigas, should ensure the safety of our state, our communities, our people, and for our future generations, without any differences with regards to religion, castes or politics, and by deploying security standards and measures, where it is necessary, and by taking strict actions against such outsiders who commit such acts and spoil the name of Karnataka.
    We wish Lokayukta Justice Vishwanath Shetty a speedy recovery.
    Jai Karnataka, Jai Hind. Mera Bharat Mahaan.

    Nice comments but I wish to make a point here lest we get carried away by regional sentiments. Remember that crime is crime whether committed by an insider or an outsider. What is important is to be vigilant against all types of criminals rather than be biased against outsider criminals only.
    We need to remember being proud of our state is a good thing but we need to also understand that Karnataka is a part and parcel of the Indian Union and we are all proud Indians free to travel and work in any part of the country as entitled by our Constitution (J&K ?). I and thousands of others here in Mumbai, Maharashtra are from Karnataka but for some reason or the other have settled temporarily or permanently in Maharashtra where we are welcome and not viewed with suspicion along with people from other States too (not sure of SS and MNS though).
