Speaking to the media after meeting the seer, the BJP leader said the Waqf Board is usurping farmers’ lands and the seer had spoken about the injustices against the Hindu community. The BJP leader said the government which has not taken any action against those raising pro-Pakistan slogans, has booked a case against the Vokkaliga seer. The government that withdraws cases against anti-social elements is treating the seer’s comments as a serious offence, even after he expressed regret for the same, the BJP leader said.
