BENGALURU: The Karnataka government has said that the threats to Minister for RDPR, IT and BT Priyank Kharge will be probed even as the security at his residence in Bengaluru was tightened.
This comes following the controversy over the Minister’s letter proposing a ban on Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) activities in public places in the state.
A Karnataka State Reserve Police (KSRP) platoon has been stationed at his residence amid fears of protests and threat calls.
Responding to the threats against Minister Priyank Kharge, Karnataka Home Minister G. Parameshwara stated that the government is taking the matter seriously and has ordered a probe. “We will investigate who threatened him and trace the origin of these calls. We are serious and will identify the source, ” he said.
