Yaduveer condemns stone pelting during Ganesha procession in Maddur

Government should ensure no such communal incident recurs in Karnataka, says BJP MP

Mysuru: Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar, Mysuru MP, on Monday condemned the stone-pelting incident during a Ganesha idol immersion procession in Maddur town of Mandya district on Sunday night.

While responding to a question by reporters on the incident, he urged the Karnataka government to take steps to ensure no such communal incident recurs in the State.

Wadiyar said it was unfortunate that stones and iron rods were thrown at the people taking part in the procession at Ram-Rahim Nagar in Maddur. “The government should ensure that the troublemakers are arrested. Strict action should be taken against the culprits. Such incidents should not repeat,” he said.
