The BJP in Karnataka said it will surround police stations and the offices of superintendents of police if the filing of first information reports against its party workers continues. The warning comes amid rising tensions over alleged targeting of BJP members.
BJP Karnataka leadership stated that the continued registration of FIRs against its workers is unacceptable and warned of a siege on police stations and SP offices if the practice does not cease. The party alleges that the FIRs are being filed to target and harass its members. The statement was issued as a direct response to what the BJP describes as increasing police action against its cadre. Party officials urged the concerned authorities to withdraw such cases and ensure a fair investigation process. They warned that failure to heed the warning would lead to peaceful demonstrations outside the mentioned police establishments.
