The Home Minister, Mr P. Chidambaram, today criticised the BJP for its attack on the Karnataka Governor, Mr H.R. Bhardwaj, granting sanction to prosecute the Chief Minister and said the Governor’s decision was in accordance with the law.
In a signed statement, he asked the Karnataka Government and BJP to maintain law and order, saying the party’s move to take to the streets against the Governor’s decision is not acceptable.
“It is not the first time that a Governor has given his sanction to prosecute a Chief Minister or a Minister of the State Government. The law in this respect is clear and well-settled,” he said.
The Home Minister said he was “disappointed” that the BJP has raised the decibel level and has taken to the streets which was “not correct” and was “totally unacceptable’’.
“The Government of Karnataka is obliged to maintain law and order in the State, not to standby when law and order is disrupted by party cadres or there are acts of violence,” he said.
