Siddaramaiah while speaking to the media said, "What is the truth that they are going to find out about? Action has been taken against those who pelted stones while Muslims were taking out a procession on the occasion of Eid-Milad. It has been very clearly instructed to take action against those involved, irrespective of which party they belong, whoever they are and not let them take the law into their hand."
According to the police, a group of miscreants pelted stones at some vehicles and houses during the Eid Milad procession in Shantinagar-Ragigudda.
