Mysuru, May 10, 2021 (www.justkannada.in): “People are being thrashed by the police everywhere in the name of lockdown. We wanted a people-friendly lockdown, not this,” said former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy.
In his tweet, the former CM stated that a lockdown where people will be beaten by the police mercilessly if they come out is implemented from today. the State Govt. thinks lockdown means just stopping the movement of vehicles. It is very unfortunate to see that the government has forgotten the interests of the people. This is not the lockdown that we suggested, we wanted a lockdown that is in the interest of the people!
“Earlier I had requested the State Government to save people by imposing lockdown. But I also had suggested ensuring proper measures so that the people won’t face any trouble and the government has to fulfill all the people’s necessities. But, it is unfortunate to say that the government has failed in providing any kind of relief to the people exhibiting its irresponsibility,” his tweet read.
His tweet further read that the State Government is only worried about the relief that it has to provide to the poor people if it imposes strict lockdown, that is why they are not mentioning the name ‘LOCKDOWN’, and is using the term ‘Tough Rules’ instead. Even the Government of India is using the same trick to escape from its responsibility. Our neighboring States Maharashtra, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and West Bengal also have declared lockdown. But they also announced relief measures. But our State Govt. is escaping from it.
