Giving a new twist to the assault case involving Mohammed Nalapad Haris, son of Congress MLA N.A. Haris, former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy said the case had more to do with bitcoin and ‘hawala’ racket than just a normal fight.
Speaking to presspersons at Hubballi airport on Tuesday, he said the assault was related to a multi-crore scam and should be investigated thoroughly.
Mr. Kumaraswamy said attempts were being made to cover up the issue. He said the hooliganism of Congress leaders represented their mentality.
On BJP national president Amit Shah’s statement that Vidvat, who was assaulted, was a BJP worker, Mr. Kumaraswamy said the party had nothing to speak about in Karnataka. So they are claiming all persons assaulted by others as their members, he said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Mr. Shah have no achievement of their own to speak about. So it is better they speak about other issues in the State, he said.
