Bengaluru: Karnataka BJP chief B Y Vijayendra said on Sunday said that the party will establish control rooms at the state district level to address complaints about police harassment. This initiative aims to provide a platform for BJP workers and leaders to report instances of perceived harassment by the police.
Complaints about police harassment
In an X post, the Shikaripur MLA said the party will provide legal aid to workers if they are harassed for speaking up against the anti-people attitude of the Congress government in the state. The decision has been taken after several complaints about police harassment targeting the BJP workers who are active on social media.
"We have been hearing complaints about police harassment targeting our BJP workers who are active on social media. Activists do not need to shy away from anything to raise their voice against the anti-people attitude of the Congress government and against the government's failures on any platform including social media," Vijayendra, son of BJP strongman and former Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa, said.
Control rooms to open soon
He further said that the law has not empowered the police to suppress the freedom of expression given to us by the constitution. "In this regard, the party will immediately come to the aid of our activist brothers in any corner of the state if they face any trouble, threats or harassment," he said
"It has been decided to soon open control rooms at state and district offices which will operate round the clock to receive complaints and provide legal aid to our workers," Vijayendra added.
