Ashok said that the government had “targeted” him as the police could not find the accused in other cases. ‘No information on ‘Godhra-like incident’ being planned in Karnataka’ Mr. Parameshwara said that the State government has no information about the likelihood of a “Godhra-type incident” in the State as stated by senior Congress leader B.K. Mr. Hariprasad had stirred a controversy by stating that there could be “Godhra-like incident” in Karnataka ahead of the inauguration of Sri Rama temple at Ayodhya.
