In an update to Prajwal Revanna case, JD(S)leader HD Kumaraswamy has recently appealed Hassan’s MP Prajwal Revanna to come back to Karnataka and face the probe.
Talking to a reporter, he said “…I would appeal to him (Prajwal Revanna) to come back to Karnataka and face this investigation… If you have not done anything then why are you afraid, why did you run away?
Further, he also accused Karnataka’s congress government of misusing this issue. And later, he also responded to the allegation of 400 rapes committed made by Rahul Gandhi.
Saying “Where is the small piece of document with Rahul Gandhi? His government is running here. Even Priyanka Gandhi, she also in a public meeting, more than 2000, 3000 incidents took place. That is her charge. They wanted to destroy the strength of the NDA. They are misusing the issue.”
Earlier on May 18, JDS patriarch HD Deve Gowda declared, that all legal avenues should be pursued against Prajwal, however his son HD Revanna was framed in this case.
”HD Kumaraswamy has already spoken on behalf of our family and party regarding the allegations against Prajwal Revanna and HD Revanna. The government must pursue all possible legal avenues against Prajwal Revanna. However, it is evident that the cases against HD Revanna were orchestrated to target him.”said Deve Gowda.
These statements were made around the time when Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah urged the central government, on May 6th, to assist the Karnataka SIT team in their investigation by facilitating the return of Revanna to India.
Talking about central government, Karnataka CM said
“The success of the SIT investigation is now entirely dependent on the cooperation of the Central Government. The central government should cooperate in bringing the accused Prajwal Revanna, who is said to be abroad, to India.”
He further announced, that SIT will conduct fair and an impartial investigation, without any interference from the state government.
So far, HD Revanna along with his son are facing investigation by SIT over sexual harassment and criminal intimidation following the complaint of Household maid.
