Union Minister Shobha Karandlaje and BJP MP from the Bengaluru South constituency Tejasvi Surya participated in demonstrations in Nagarathpete over the incident of assault of a mobile shop owner. A statement from Shobha indicating that those carrying out terrorist attacks come from Tamil Nadu has resulted in controversy. “Strongly condemn Union BJP MinisterShobha Karandlaje's reckless statement. One must either be an NIA official or closely linked to the Rameshwaram Cafe Blast to make such claims. Clearly, she lacks the authority for such assertions. Tamilians and Kannadigas alike will reject this divisive rhetoric of BJP. I also urge for an appropriate legal action against Shobha for causing threat to peace, harmony and national unity.From the Prime Minister to the cadre, everyone in the BJP should stop engaging in this dirty divisive politics at once. ECI must take note of this hate speech and initiate stringent action immediately,” Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu MK Stalin said.

Shobha retracted her statement and issued an apology. “To my Tamil brothers & sisters, I wish to clarify that my words were meant to shine light, not cast shadows. Yet I see that my remarks brought pain to some - and for that, I apologise. My remarks were solely directed towards those trained in the Krishnagiri forest linked to the Rameshwaram Cafe blast. To anyone from Tamilnadu affected, From the depths of my heart, I ask your forgiveness. Furthermore, I retract my previous comments,” Shobha stated.
