Will Siddaramaiah act equally ruthless in opposition to Islamists in state?

On Tuesday, twenty third May 2023, Karnataka’s chief minister Siddarmaiah gave instructions to the state police to impress “ruthless action” in opposition to provocative posts on social media throughout the state. Siddarmaiah chaired a gathering of prime cops at Vidhana Soudha. During this meeting, he underlined that they should be further cautious about sustaining peace and co-existence.

CM Siddarmaiah talked about, “Ruthless action must be initiated against those who disturb the peace and co-existence in the society. The police must also prevent the menace of drugs.” Additionally, he requested the police to take care of the guests congestion factors in Bengaluru and efficiently combat cybercrime contained in the state.

He added, “The people have elected the government for a change with hope and the officers must respond to the problems of the people.” Siddaramaiah directed senior officers to personally go to police stations and carry out inspections. He emphasised that folks approaching the police to lodge complaints should not be dealt with as suspects and urged cops to work along with them courteously.

Siddaramaiah talked about, “Our government will not tolerate goondagiri, unofficial club activities and drug mafia in the state. If these are encouraged, strict action would be initiated against the officers. We will complement good workers and if there is a dereliction of duty, we will initiate action without any hesitation.”

While Siddarmaiah talks about not tolerating goondagiri, it nonetheless stays unclear what is going on to be his authorities’s stand in opposition to the Islamists throughout the state. Muslim religious public figures vocally asking the Congress authorities to supply needed ministries to Muslim leaders in commerce for the dedication the Muslim vote monetary establishment confirmed in course of the celebration was fully in keeping with the appeasement insurance coverage insurance policies provided throughout the manifesto of the Congress. Congress had vowed to ban Bajrang Dal throughout the state to appease the Muslims.

However, the celebration shied away from every the claimed ban ensures and immediately fulfilling the requires of Muslim religious leaders. But, the ‘ruthless action’ pledged by the Congress authorities in opposition to instigating social media posts is however to clear its biases. It stays to be seen if the Congress authorities will act with strictness in opposition to anti-Hindu tirades throughout the social media usually peddled by Islamists and ne-Ambedkarites. Siddaramaiah has not however categorically talked about one thing about it.

The earlier actions by Congress in Karnataka level out that the “strict action” that Siddaramaiah speaks of would principally be in opposition to Hindus. It is pertinent to note that Congress took help from SDPI, which is the political wing of the banned Islamist terror outfit PFI, which wished to indicate India into an Islamic nation by 2047 and commit a genocide of Hindus as a matter of protection. Further, Siddaramaiah has to date celebrated Tipu Jayanti with pomp and current. If the Chief Minister celebrates Islamic tyrants, one has to shock if the state would act in opposition to people who harbour the very fanaticism that Tipu did.

While talking about sustaining peace and co-existence, Siddaramaiah did not take any cognizance of how Islamists throughout the state denied every peace and co-existence that prevailed in the midst of the BJP’s regime. They went on to unnecessarily instigate a row over hijab on educational campuses. The similar set of people killed Harsha – a Bajrang Dal member.

26-year-old Hindu activist Harsha was brutally murdered throughout the Shivamogga district in Karnataka on twentieth February 2022. Islamists murdered him because of he demanded a uniform costume code throughout the educational institutes. Rather than addressing this goondagiri, Siddaramaiah coded his message in a method Islamists larger understand. He talked about that the federal authorities shall be further cautious about sustaining peace and co-existence. The Islamist connection was moreover seen throughout the murder of Praveen Nettaru in July 2022. The effectiveness of Siddaramaiah’s promise to take movement in opposition to all anti-social elements and apply equitable necessities to all people will thus be intently monitored by the people of Karnataka.
