September 11 2017: Mysuru: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah today slammed Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad for accusing the state government of failure to give protection to slain journalist Gauri Lankesh, saying she never sought protection.
"The central minister said the government knew about the threat, and Gauri had sought security, but government did not give. All these, it is most irresponsible statement given by a central minister, who also is a law minister," he told reporters here
Prasad on September 8 had shown copies of news reports on Lankesh's brother, Indrajit, claiming that she had worked for the surrender of Naxalites and asked as to why the Siddaramaiah government had not provided her security.
