The arrest of suspended JD(S) leader Prajwal Revanna, who is accused of sexual harassment, has been welcomed by the leaders of many political parties.On Friday, leaders from all political parties expressed their approval of the arrest of Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna, who is accused of rape and sexual abuse. Meanwhile, the Janata Dal (Secular), which had suspended the 33-year-old, pledged its full cooperation and support to the probe.”The arrest has been made and whatever legal proceedings have to be followed will take place,” stated State Cabinet Minister Priyank Kharge. The women impacted by this need justice, and that is our government’s top concern.
His comments were made just hours after Revanna was detained at Bengaluru airport after arriving from Germany, by the special investigation team (SIT), which is looking into the accusations made against him. Opposition leader R Ashok stated that Revanna ought to have been brought to justice.The law is not greater than Prajwal Revanna. Whether it is a conspiracy as he alleges or it actually happened, the evidence ought to be presented in court. The legislator “should have proven his argument in court,” he continued, emphasising that one “should not run away (from the legal battle).”
The arrest of the suspended MP will not damage the party’s reputation, according to GT Deve Gowda, a former minister and president of the JD(S) core committee.Deve Gowda stated that former chief minister HD Kumaraswamy, the president of the JD(S) state, was in favour of punishing the guilty during a press conference in Hassan.”We applaud the state government’s choice to establish the SIT in order to look into the claims. “The accused has been suspended by the party,” he stated.
