Bengaluru: In the midst of nation-wide protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), 2019, Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa alleged that the Congress party and its leaders such as MLA UT Khader were behind the protests.
Speaking to ANI, Yediyurappa said, “The Congress is behind the protests against CAA, and this situation has occurred because of people like Khader. Taking care of Muslims is our responsibility. I request everyone to maintain peace in the state.”
