Karnataka: Siddaramaiah slams Yediyurappa government over imposition of Sec 144
Sec 144 has been imposed to maintain law and order in the wake of protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act 2019.
Bengaluru: Congress leader and former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Wednesday criticised the ruling BJP government in the state over the imposition of Section 144.
Section 144 has been imposed to maintain law and order in the wake of protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act 2019 and the National Register of Citizens (NRC).
"After a series of assaults on the values enshrined in the Constitution, it is time to take away the Right to Peaceful Protest through Sec144. I never expected @bsybjp (B S Yediyurappa) to play to the tune of @narendramodi (Prime Minister Narendra Modi). I thought he was more progressive and inclusive," he said in a tweet.

Shame on You Mr. Yediyurappa.
