Karnataka Government Withdraws Case Against Hubballi Rioters
The Congress government in Karnataka has decided to withdraw a criminal case registered against a mob which had attacked policemen with stones on April 16, 2022 in Hubballi town. BJP has attacked the Congress government over what it described as heights of appeasement. Meanwhile, DK Shivakumar said, "This is being politicised. The BJP leaders have done it too during their regime. In fact, they withdrew cases involving several BJP leaders and RSS leaders. In this case (the Hubballi case) there was no evidence against them. This case was politically motivated. We are not politicising anything. We are on the side of justice."
