Karnataka CM takes U-turn on ‘moral policing'

When reporters sought his reaction to BJP MLA Umanath Kotian escorting two persons accused in a ‘moral policing’ incident from a police station after their release on interim bail, the chief minister refused to give a direct reply and said, “It is a sensitive matter. there are many sentiments in society. one needs to behave in a manner that will not hurt such sentiments. If the sentiments are hurt, then action and reaction are bound to happen.”
