Karnataka CM vows legal action against ‘pervert minds’ posting objectionable posts against chopper crash
Speaking to the media after casting his vote for the council polls at Shiggaon, a municipal town in Haveri district, Karnataka, Bommai said: “I have directed the police chief (DG&IG) to initiate legal action against culprits who’ve made derogatory comments on social media on General Rawat’s death.

Liberal jamaat celebrates the death of General Bipin Rawat
It is disturbing how, the moment the news of the death of India’s first Chief of Defence Staff broke, the regular coterie of ‘liberals’, Islamists and some anti-nationals scrambled out of their holes to rejoice the unfortunate death of the fallen soldier.
In fact, even before any official announcement of the demise of the CDS was made, the leftists started wishing for the death of the decorated officer. Many celebrated calling the death ‘good news’, while some opined that they would have been sad if Bipin Rawat survived. Ashlin Mathew, journalist and news editor of Congress party’s mouthpiece, posted a tweet saying ‘Divine Intervention’, which he deleted later.
Even at the time when there was no confirmation on the condition of the helicopter passengers or the number of injured or dead, Retd army man Lt Gen Panag shared a ‘RIP’ tweet for the CDS.
Among many instances of Islamists and anti-nationals celebrating the death of Bipin Rawat, Jammu and Kashmir Bank in Srinagar had suspended an employee named Afreen Hassan Naqash for making derogatory remarks on a social media platform after the tragic death of Bipin Rawat.
Likewise, the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi had taken cognisance of a hateful Tweet by a student on General Rawat’s demise.
On December 9, the Jammu and Kashmir Police Thursday arrested a shopkeeper from a village near Rajouri for posting objectional content against Chief of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat on social media.
Earlier, Rajasthan police arrested a 21-year-old Jawwad Khan from Tonk who made a social media post to celebrate the death of Rawat.
