BJP to keep watch on its expelled MP:CM

Bangalore, Sep 22 (UNI) Karnataka Government has ordered the police to keep BJP's expelled MP H T Sangliana under 'surveillance' to monitor his activities, Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa said today.

Speaking to newspersons here after a emergency Cabinet meeting, he said the government was possessing a report about the illegal activities of 'New Life' organisation and the party's expelled MP's association with it.

B S Yeddyurappa alleged that H T Sangliana had close links with New Life which reportedly received funds from Middle-East countries to carry out its religious activities.

Taking strong exception against Mr Sangliana's statement that his life was not safe under Yeddyurappa, the Chief Minister announced that the MP's activities will be monitored by the security agencies''.

Taking strong exception against the 'missives' sent by Union Home ministry on the attacks on places of worship, the Chief Minsiter questioned whether it had acted in equal haste on the attacks on minorities in Jammu and Kashmir, Assam and other parts of the country.

''When eight Dalits were burnt alive in Kamgalapalli at Kolar district in 2000, the then Congress Government remained silent, he alleged.

He furthur alleged that when 18 people were massacred at Singur in West Bangal,the Union Home ministry remained silent. People can understand the designs of the Congress-led UPA government and its cronies in Karnataka on these issues'' he added.
