Karnataka BJP Calls for Statewide Protest on April 22 in Neha Hiremath Murder Case

Karnataka BJP Calls for Statewide Protest on April 22: In response to the murder of 23-year-old college student Neha Hiremath in Hubballi, the Karnataka BJP called for statewide protests on April 22 (Monday).

On the college campus on Thursday, Neha, the daughter of Congress Councillor Niranjan Hiremath, was stabbed to death by her former classmate Fayaz Khondunaik. At BVB College, Hubballi, she was studying Master of Computer Applications (MCA).

It has been alleged that the murder incident is related to 'Love Jihad,' and the accused has already been arrested.

As a result of the murder of Neha Hiremath, there has been a political slugfest throughout the state. Protests have taken place statewide in support of capital punishment for Fayaz.

According to former Karnataka chief minister BS Yediyurappa, the Congress government in that state is unconcerned about the incident.

Vijayendra, the Karnataka BJP President, compared Karnataka's law and order situation with Pakistan's. According to him, “Abysmal handling of Law and Order in the State is glaringly evident, that reminds one of the sorry state of affairs in PAKISTAN & AFGHANISTAN!"

"Buck Stops entirely at CM siddaramaiah & DKShivakumar for the Anarchy, Chaos in the lives of people! With “Congress having BLOOD on its HAND”, BJP4Karnataka is holding strong protests across the state on Monday condemning the extreme minority appeasement policies & laxity of siddaramaiah govt in tackling the crimes!”

2 youths were arrested for justifying the murder of Neha Hiremath allegedly by Fayaz Khondunaik on social media.

Following a complaint lodged by a few pro-Hindu activists, the accused from Dharwad were arrested on Saturday.

The complainants claim they uploaded pictures of the victim Neha and the accused, Fayaz, with the caption, "Neha Fayaz true love, justice for love".
