With several social media platforms spreading fake news and blaming minority community members for the spread of COVID-19, the State Congress has urged the government to arrest all those indulging in communal politics by spreading rumours during the lockdown.
KPCC president-designate D.K. Shivkumar appealed to Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa to take firm steps against all those indulging in hate politics and playing caste and communal cards during the lockdown.
