Mangaluru, Dec 26: "Let former chief ministers Siddaramaiah, Kumaraswamy, KPCC president Dinesh Gundu Rao and MLA U T Khader ask their conscience before making any statements related to the recent police firing that occurred during the anti-CAA protests in Mangaluru," said district in-charge minister Kota Srinivas Poojary.
Minister Poojary was speaking at the press conference that was held at the Dakshina Kannada district BJP office in the city on December 26. Speaking further on the police firing during the anti-CAA protest, Kota Srinivas Poojary questioned, "Is pelting stones, rounding up of police station and trying to enter shop selling guns is part of peaceful protest?
"When the anti-CAA protest intensified, police have taken the decision fire according to the prevailing situation of that time. So the police firing is justified. The government is towards the justice in this whole episode and does not take sides of either the police or the protesters," clarified the minister.
