Hindustan Times  

The alleged gangrape incident in Karnataka's Haveri has ignited a war of words between the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Congress, with leaders from the saffron group alleging that the grand old party is “silent” looking at the “religion of the accused”. The incident occurred in Haveri's Hangal on Thursday when a group of men allegedly barged into a hotel room occupied by an interfaith couple and thrashed them in yet another case of moral policing. In this light, senior leader Shehzad Poonawalla said, “In Karnataka, the shocking moral policing incident involving 7 men has now taken a more serious proportion. Not only did these men barge into the room of an interfaith couple, assault them, beat up the young Muslim woman, dragged her out, and made a video out of it, but the woman has now complained that she has been gang raped.” "This is the level of law and order in Karnataka.
