Dharwad, (Karnataka) Mar 12 (IANS): Police Inspector of Dharwad Rural police station Sridhar Satare has been suspended for lodging an FIR against Basavaraj Horatti, the Speaker of Legislative Council on Saturday.

Horatti was made fifth accused in connection with the dispute over management of an education institution.

The matter was discussed at length on Thursday and Friday in the Council with the legislators condemning the move of filing of an FIR against the Speaker by the police department. MLCs, cutting across the party lines, had demanded suspension of the Superintendent of Police and Police Inspector of Dharwad district.

They maintained that it is a violation of the rights of the Speaker of the house. Director General and Inspector General of Police (DG & IGP) Praveen Sood has issued suspension orders.

Akhila Karnataka Valmiki Nayaka Mahasabha lodged a complaint against the Chairman of the Legislative Council Horatti and five others in Dharwad Rural police station in connection with the dispute over management of an education institute.

It was alleged that though Basavaraj Horatti is not a chairperson of the Sarvodaya Trust, he is misusing his authority and exercising the powers of a chairperson.

They have also alleged that when members from the mahasabha visited schools in Dharwad for inspection, the followers of Basavaraj Horatti assaulted them. The complaint also mentions that the members were abused, casteistic remarks hurled at them and damaged their car.

Earlier, Mahasabha members conducted a press conference on January 22 and alleged the highhandedness of Basavaraj Horatti in the trust affairs.

They had alleged that an advertisement was given for recruitment of vacant posts in the Sarvodaya Education Trust as per directions of Horatti and challenged him to release the documents of his authority over the trust.

    Its strange to note that Laws and rules are different in nature to politicians and the general Public. Our politicians sometimes act like rowdies and goondas and it is funny that they are not booked and sincere officers like the one in this case is suspended for lodging a case against speaker. If it is happening like this the rules, laws, canons be burnt so that the Govt can act according to their own whim and fancy. Disgusting indeed

    Politicians are curse to Indians. India is going back due to these criminal politicians. All criminal politicians irrespective of party lines supported their fellow criminal. Great going. These politicians are not for people but they are for themselves.

    I totally condemn the suspension orders. Don't the rules of the land apply to these rogues? Are they above law? And all these rogues cutting across party lines are supporting the Speaker! How shameful and disgusting are the times we live in. The upright Inspector was only discharging his duty. Who is going to support him now? Where is the law in our country? My blood boils at this injustice. It is a total Goonda Raj.
