The Congress government in Karnataka will provide financial assistance to those al🥃legedly sexually assaulted by JD(S) leadꦕer Prajwal Revanna, the national party said on Sunday.
Congressꦑ general secretary and the party's ෴Karnataka in-charge Randeep Singh Surjewala made this announcement at a press conference here in the presence of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.
He said former Congress president Rahul Gandhi had demanded th💜at appropriate action be taken against the accused.
"Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has announced financial assis💛tance to the rape victims who are in hundreds, since it is a unique case which has never happened in the last 75 years," Surj𒀰ewala said.
Prajwal, the JD(S)-BJP alliance candidate from Hassan Lok Sabha constitu🦄ency, is the grandson of former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda and nephew of former Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy.
He is wanted in a case pertaining to rape and molestation after hundreds of explicit videos a🌠ll🎃egedly came out in open.
Flanked by Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar, Surjewala charged Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah with protecting their alliance pღartner JD(S) candidate, who is a 'mass rapist'.
"🀅Why did BJP form an alliance with the JD(S) despite having information about Prajwal?" he asked.
H♐e also sought to know why the External 🐎Affairs Ministry did not stop Prajwal from fleeing abroad.
ౠ"Why did the PM not cancel Prajwal's diplomatic passport and why no blue corner notice through Interpol was issued to bring him back?" Surjewala questioned.
Speaking on the occasion, the CM said a blue corner notice will be issued to bring Prajwal 🤡back.
