Bengaluru: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has warned stringent action against police personnel of constabulary if they continue with the mass leave protest planned on June 4.
Addressing a news conference on Tuesday, May 30 after holding a high level meet at his official residence-‘Krishna’, the CM said that the police do not have constitutional right to stage stir.
“If they do not bow to the appeal and go ahead with mass leave protest, government will be forced to take stringent action against them,” he said adding that the state government has already appealed to the police personnel to refrain from the mass leave protest and had also promised to meet their legitimate demands in coming days.
Meanwhile, also alleging that the state BJP leaders and some other organisations were instigating the police to go ahead with the stir, the CM said that the strike is called by unrecognized organization and opposition parties are trying to take advantage out of the issue.
Police constables across the state have decided to go on mass leave to protest their poor working conditions, low salaries, long duty hours extending up to 15 hours, no leave, harassment by seniors and various others problems faced by them.
