But the Karnataka government forcibly ended up arresting these agitators who were protesting peacefully. This government will take immediate action and ensure hassle free release of those arrested. Union Home Minister Amit Shah had to intervene to ensure that there is harmony between the two states regarding the issue of border dwellers and a meeting was held in the presence of the CMs of both the states. Stopping the injustices being perpetrated on these border area dwellers was foremost on priority.
Some provocative tweets had been posted from Karnataka CM’s Twitter handle in this concern. However, since this tweet was not made by the Karnataka CM himself, Fadnavis said that Union Home Minister Shah had instructed to proceed forward and file an FIR in this case. Fadnavis also highlighted the various schemes being implemented by the state government regarding development activities being carried out in rural areas, funds being provided for the same and proposed schemes which are supposed to be implemented in near future.
