“We have decided to withdraw it,” Yediyurappa reiterated.
“I have asked the police to identify the miscreants who were responsible for the December 19 riot,” the CM added.
“Mangaluru violence was a conspiracy and planned act. Miscreants tried to enter the police station and vandalise it. No one will be spared,” he reiterated.
Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath has also announced that the government will identify the miscreants who vandalised public properties and the cost of damage will be collected by selling off their properties.
