As Mysuru University had banned women moving in university campus after 6.30pm to avoid of becoming the sexual assault victims, Congress took BJP government to task, if so why there should be the government when it not be able to give protection to the people.
Speaking to news persons at Hubballi on Saturday, Aug 28, KPCC President DK Shivakumar the University Vice Chancellor Shivappa Ramakrishna, after a MBA girl student was gang-raped allegedly in the campus on the evening of Aug 24, had issued a circular preventing women moving on the campus after 6.30pm to avoid crimes like rape against them and when the move was opposed strongly he took back the same. The V-C must be removed from his post and next the government as such were useless when not in the position to protect the dignity of women.
Since Karnataka Home Minister Aragh Jnanedra and minister Umesh Katti were also commented controversial on the rape that got sharpe reaction, the Congress leader opined that such personalities be needed in rule. Government was moving good with such.
