Karnataka: On Saturday, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi writes to Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah regarding Prajwal Revanna’s obscene video case. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi condemned the actions of Revanna and request him to kindly extend all possible support to the victims, in his letter. However, he also targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah for ‘canvassing for a mass rapist’.
The letter read,”I am deeply shocked to learn that as far back as December 2023, our Home Minister Shri Amit Shah was informed by Shri G. Devaraje Gowda about Prajwal Revanna’s antecedents, especially his history of sexual violence and the presence of videos filmed by the perpetrator. What is even more shocking is that despite these gruesome allegations being brought to the notice of the senior-most BJP leadership, the Prime Minister campaigned and canvassed for a mass rapist.”
He futher said,”Furthermore, the union government wilfully allowed him to flee India to derail any meaningful investigation. The deeply perverse nature of these crimes and the absolute impunity enjoyed by Prajwal Revanna with the blessings of the Prime Minister and Home Minister deserves the strongest condemnation.”
He added, “In my two decades in public life, I have never come across a senior public representative who has constantly chosen silence in the face of untold violence against women. From our wrestlers in Haryana to our sisters in Manipur, Indian women are bearing the brunt of the Prime Minister’s tacit support for such criminals.”
Earlier, a second look-out notice has been issued against Prajwal Revanna, grandson of former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda and MP from Hassan Lok Sabha seat in Karnataka. During a political rally, former congress president had alleged that suspended JD(S) functionary and Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna had raped 400 women and recorded videos of the assaults.
Revanna, the Janata Dal (Secular) MLA from Holenarasipura in Hassan district of Karnataka, is the son of former prime minister and JD(S) patriarch H D Deve Gowda, is facing allegations of sexually abusing women. He is also elder brother of former chief minister H D Kumaraswamy.
