India Today falsely claimed that BS Yediyurappa led Karnataka government has decided not to implement the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Karnataka.
CM Yediyurappa has accused former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah of being indirectly responsible for the attack on Congress MLA Tanveer Sait saying that the latter's government failed to curb the PFI's activities and provided protection to them.
In 2014, during the Congress government, the then Speaker Kagodu Thimmappa had also proposed a ban on television cameras from broadcasting Assembly proceedings inside the house.
Chief Minister Yediyurappa on Monday, directed Karnataka Additional Chief Secretary of Urban Development Department, BH Anil Kumar, to initiate a probe into the matter.
