What was even more shocking… pic.twitter.com/NIXaV887dX— ANI (@ANI) September 25, 2024In light of the Karnataka High Courts decision today, which upheld the Governors sanction to prosecute CM Siddaramaiah in the MUDA case, it is imperative for Congress leaders who criticised the Governors authority to issue a public apology. They did not just challenge the legality of the Governors actions but also maligned his reputation by accusing him of being a political puppet. Offensive terms like Nalayak were directed at a Dalit Governor who was simply performing his constitutional duties, Vijayendra said in a post on X.He said that the High Court has now validated Governor Thawarchand Gehlots actions, confirming that his decision to call for an investigation was grounded in legality and constitutional principles. The Karnataka High Court dismissed Chief Minister Siddaramaiahs petition. In his judgement, the single judge bench of Justice Nagaprasanna said that the order of sanction for prosecution does not suffer from non-application of mind by the Governor.It is alleged that MUDA illegally allotted 14 sites to Chief Minister Siddaramaiahs wife in the prime location of Mysuru city. The High Court, in its interim order passed on August 19, had granted a temporary relief to Siddaramaiah by directing a special court in Bengaluru to defer further proceedings and not to take any precipitative action pursuant to the sanction granted by the Governor. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said that he is not scared of the BJP and JD(S) conspiracy and will discuss with legal experts & ministers how to fight this. The Karnataka CM further said that all the MLAs, leaders and workers of the Congress have stood by him and encouraged him to continue the fight.
