Home Minister G Parameshwar
The matter of lathicharge on the protesters demanding reservation for the Lingayat Panchamasali community was discussed again in the Upper House on Monday, while the opposition staged a walkout expressing dissatisfaction with the Home Minister’s response.
The matter came up again on Monday after opposition MPs sought a response from the ruling party demanding a judicial inquiry into the lathi charge.
Responding to this issue, Home Minister G. Paramesh made it clear that the police have fulfilled their duty to maintain peace and security and there is no question of taking action against them. The Home Minister clarified that there is no question of a judicial inquiry as this matter is unfair.
The Home Minister informed that 23 policemen and 11 of the protestors were injured during the protest.
The MPs of the opposition party staged a walkout shouting slogans against the government.
