In Bengaluru, a BJP delegation met with Karnataka Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot to request the cancellation of a recent order by the Congress government that withdrew cases related to the 2022 clashes at the Ladle Mashak Dargah in Aland, Kalaburgi district. The Congress Cabinet's decision to withdraw cases in 42 instances, including the Aland case, has sparked controversy. BJP leaders, including Chalavadi Narayanaswamy, criticized the move as politically motivated, alleging that it aims to appease Muslim voters. Narayanaswamy stated that the Congress has demonstrated its anti-people stance by withdrawing cases against those involved in the attacks on the Raghav Chaitanya Mandir, claiming that public property was damaged and police were assaulted during the riots. He emphasized that the order to withdraw these cases is unconstitutional and should be rescinded, especially since the matter is still under court consideration. The BJP has formally submitted a memorandum to the governor urging him to intervene against the government's decision.
