(MENAFN- AsiaNet News) Chakravarthy Sulibele, a prominent figure associated with the Namo Brigade, launched a vicious attack on Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's government in Karnataka, alleging that the Congress party has transformed into a Muslim-centric political entity. He criticized the recent decision to revoke the hijab ban, suggesting that it's a strategic move to secure Muslim votes, rather than abiding by the law.
Speaking to reporters in the city on Saturday, Sulibele accused Siddaramaiah of showing partiality towards the Muslim community. He emphasized that the government's decision to lift the hijab ban reflects a bias in favour of the Muslim electorate, citing the strategy as a means to gain political mileage.

Sulibele drew parallels with previous governmental decisions, asserting that while Triple Talaq was abolished under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's administration, the recent lift on the hijab ban by Siddaramaiah's government unjustly penalizes Muslim girls. He expressed disappointment over the perceived injustice directed towards the Muslim community.
Moreover, he highlighted the potential ramifications of allowing hijabs while potentially restricting other religious attire, anticipating it might foster divisions. He criticized Siddaramaiah's government for what he considered regressive actions, accusing them of undermining educational policies and creating societal discord.

Questioning the financial allocation of ₹10 thousand crores promised to the Muslim community, Sulibele raised concerns over the suspension of scholarships for SC, ST, and OBC students. He criticized the government's direction as detrimental to the state's progress, suggesting it might regress Karnataka's advancements by several decades.
Sulibele denounced what he perceived as the government's suppression of opposing voices, indicating a purported bias against Hindus and their struggles under Siddaramaiah's leadership. He pledged to raise awareness within Hindu society about the perceived bias and urged society to scrutinize the motivations behind the government's decisions.
