Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA from Shivamogga, KS Eashwarappa, has reacted on the ongoing unrest and violence in Shivamogga in Karnataka and said that Congress is responsible for the unrest as they support anti-nationalists like PFI and SDPI.

He said, “I am directly saying that not only in Shivamogga, not only in South but across the country in all states it is Congress who is supporting anti-nationalists like PFI, SDPI.”

He also added that government and police officials have brought the situation under control. “Schools and colleges were closed until yesterday, but they reopened today,” he said.
