Mysuru: The Congress has vowed to screen the BBC documentary, ‘India: The Modi Question’ in the premises of its office in Mysuru city in the Indian state of Karnataka.
Speaking to reporters, KPCC (Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee) spokesperson M Lakshman stated that “BBC has thrown light on the truth. BJP leaders themselves have been beating their chests that Modi had given directions to kill Muslims.”
“Like ‘Kashmir Files’, this documentary should be exhibited all over the country. I request people of the country to watch the documentary. One should watch the documentary and learn about the dark face of PM Modi,” he said.
BBC is an important British organisation, it will work without coming under the influence of anyone, Lakshman said.
Lakshman maintained that the BJP MLA and former minister Ramesh Jarkiholi and his gang had shot an excise inspector Ingalage in 1988. “The inspector was shot with an AK-47 rifle,” he claimed.
He further said that in 1994 also murders were carried out in the Government Mill of Gokak in the leadership of Ramesh Jarkiholi. He charged that people were supposed to take consent from the Jarkiholi family for purchase or sale of property worth more than Rs 35 lakh. If the people sold properties without getting the consent, they would face atrocity and rape cases, he said.
Jarkiholi had attacked Congress President D.K. Shivakumar, saying that when Shivakumar met him for the first time, he was in torn slippers and later went on to mint thousands of crores through corruption.
Lakshman challenged that let the investigation be conducted on the properties of Shivakumar and Ramesh Jarkiholi by any central agency.
