Bangalore: The Karnataka assembly, which has been boycotted by the entire opposition, Monday condemned Saturday night’s police action at Delhi’s Ramlila Ground to break up the anti-graft fast by yoga guru Ramdev and his supporters.
A resolution condemning the police action and demanding a high level probe into it was moved by Labour Minister B.N. Bachche Gowda.
Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa and state BJP president K.S. Eshwarappa spoke on the resolution attacking the central government for “using inhuman force to break the peaceful protest against corruption and black money”.
The show was a ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) affair as Congress and Janata Dal-Secular have boycotted the 10-day session that began June 2 seeking resignation of Speaker K.G. Bopaiah who has been criticized by the Supreme Court over disqualification of 16 rebel lawmakers in October last year.
The two opposition parties have rejected appeals by Yeddyurappa and other BJP leaders to attend the session that is to pass the state budget for 2011-12.
The BJP also organized protests in Bangalore and at several places in the state late Sunday and Monday to protest the police action against Ramdev.
