Bengaluru, Dec 6 (NationPress) Karnataka’s Home Minister G. Parameshwara stated that he will provide a comprehensive and sensible overview of the state’s law and order scenario to the Assembly during the upcoming winter session, which kicks off on December 8 at Belagavi Suvarna Soudha.
The winter session is slated to run from December 8 to December 19.
In discussions with the media in Bengaluru, he noted that data indicates the law and order situation in the state remains stable. “While I acknowledge that incidents have occurred, I will outline the differences between the previous BJP administration and the current situation,” he remarked.
Parameshwara also plans to compare the law and order conditions in Karnataka with those in other BJP-governed states, detailing the contrast between the BJP's administration and the last two years.
Addressing events that transpired at Parappana Agrahara Central prison in Bengaluru, the Home Minister mentioned he would clarify which administration was in charge during those occurrences. “When issues arose during our governance, we acted decisively. Presently, old footage is being circulated as recent events. I will provide clarity on each incident,” he affirmed.
Regarding the murder of a Congress leader in Chikkamagaluru district, he confirmed that the local police are actively investigating. “Once the investigation report comes in, we will understand the motive. The local police are undertaking necessary actions,” he stated.
When questioned about the Dharmasthala case, he said, “If this matter is brought up in the Assembly, we will respond accordingly. The Special Investigation Team (SIT) has already submitted its findings to both the court and the government. Should the issue arise in the Assembly, we will clarify the true situation. There is nothing to conceal.”
On the topic of ministerial meetings, Parameshwara expressed, “It’s essential that work progresses in our respective areas. The Public Works Minister, Satish Jarkiholi, plays a crucial role, so our discussions are necessary. Sometimes we also engage in political dialogue.”
“What’s wrong with that? We have shared meals and discussed politics twice. We are all politicians, and politics is our profession. We talk about party principles, the implementation of government schemes, and current events. This is quite normal,” he emphasized.
He added that the upcoming Congress Legislature Party (CLP) meeting on Tuesday will focus on the response strategies of party MLAs and ministers regarding opposition discussions in the Assembly. “This meeting will not involve political discussions, so please don’t expect that,” he concluded.
