BJP leader and former Minister C T Ravi on Tuesday demanded a judicial probe into the incident.
Union Minister of State for Agriculture & Farmers' Welfare Shobha Karandlaje had accused the state government of tying the hands of police under the pressure of appeasement politics, which led to their inaction and letting stone pelting happen.
"Wielding of swords, taking it in a procession, painting the Akhanda Bharat map in green with Aurangzeb's picture on it along with certain statements glorifying them, erecting banners and cutouts of Tipu and Aurangzeb who killed Hindus -- shows the kind of culture they want to nurture here," she had alleged and hit out at Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Home Minister G Parameshwara accusing them of supporting it.
