We will cooperate to protest for the defense of the state. The government will not interfere with anyone's struggle. But people should not be disturbed in the name of Bandh. deputy chief minister DK Shivakumar said that the government will continue to cooperate with peaceful struggles. Speaking to reporters in the city, he said protesting is a democratic right and we will not bother any party. We are fighting for our rights. Our party members also asked what to do. We have told them to fight to maintain our rights. He said that he has indirectly instructed the congress to support the protest.
Bandh should not be called for campaigning: supreme court, high court verdict pending. What is the benefit of calling for a fight to get name and publicity in the media? He expressed displeasure with those who had called for a bandh, asking what they would do if the court ruled in our favor. Responding to the question whether the struggles will not cause legal trouble, the minister cannot answer this. Respect must be given to both the court and the people. If the people do not cooperate, there is no dignity in the fight called bandh. We are in a Devil and the Deep sea situation. He was at a loss as to how to reply.
