The raids are not only confined to Karnataka, but have been conducted in other states as well. He maintained that he is yet to get full details of the development in the state from the police department.

Meanwhile, Health Minister Dr K. Sudhakar reacted angrily to objections to the action on PFI and SDPI in Mysuru. “Instead of taking legal action against those who have conspired attacks and murder attempts on elected representatives, should they be worshipped?” Minister Sudhakar questioned.

“Those who indulge in conspiring against society must be strictly dealt with. They should be finished off. There will be action on those who have committed crimes. More arrests will follow after the probe,” he asserted.

There are reports that they are preparing to create disharmony among people and conspiring to kill the Prime Minister. Investigations will have to be conducted to ascertain, are these elements capable of committing such offences, he stated. Congress party is directly responsible for the growth of PFI and SDPI in the state, he added.

As per police sources, as many as 80 people attached to PFI and SDPI have been taken into custody in the state.

Minister for Education B.C. Nagesh said on Friday that there was no difference between the ideologies of the Congress party and the PFI. “I don’t know what Congress leaders know about the RSS. A few of them want votes of Muslims and that is why they are demanding a ban on the RSS,” he said. “RSS is a patriotic organisation. It is not getting any funds from the government. It is not important whether it is registered or not. RSS is working for the welfare of the country. But, PFI is indulging in anti-national activities,” he stated.
