Narayana Gowda defends application for injunction

Minister for Youth Empowerment and Sports K C Narayana Gowda defended himself and his colleagues over seeking injunction against media houses and said, “We had to approach the court to protect us from conspiracies.”

Speaking to reporters here, Narayana Gowda asked activist Dinesh Kalahalli to make public the CDs of other ministers.

The minister said, “We are not asking to hide the truth and we bow if the truth is telecasted. We approached the court seeking protection. He asked Dinesh Kalahalli to release CDs of other ministers soon. “Why he is delaying?” Narayana Gowda questioned.

Speaking about Ramesh Jarkiholi’s scandal, he claimed it is his personal matter and it is not possible to believe all the matter in the video. “The video might be fake,” he defended.

Gowda also said, he does not know why he is identified as ‘Bombay Kalla’. “I am in Mumbai then Bombay from last 32 long years and there is not even a single case against me. I will retire from politics if I have done anything wrong,” he challenged.

It has to be noted that JD(S) leader H D Kumaraswamy had described him as ‘Bombay Kalla’ when he quit the JD(S) and joined the BJP.
