‘Stringent action is not being taken against the accused’
Member of Parliament G.V.L. Narasimha Rao has said the State government’s ham handed-approach towards the culprits involved in desecration of idols in temples is responsible for spurt in attacks on temples.
Mr. Rao told reporters that the State government was ‘indirectly supporting’ the attacks on temples by not taking stringent action against the accused.
“The police have booked Praveen Chakravarthy, but did not charge him under serious offences. Moreover, they have not investigated his role in converting Hindus with the help of foreign funds. The police, instead of arresting the culprits, are now charging BJP supporters who have posted their views on social media. The BJP demands that the State government come out with the number of pastors, and how much the State government is paying them from the taxes collected from the people. I have written to a letter to Home Minister Amit Shah on this issue,’’ said
