In a clear message to elements aiming to foment trouble in the state, Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai warned that no one should dare to take law into their hands. Reacting to the communal tension that erupted in Hubbali on Saturday night, the chief minister said that the state government would not tolerate it. Bommai was speaking to media persons on Sunday ahead of the BJP State Executive meeting here.

"The police are already taking action. Police will not hesitate to take stringent action against those who take law into their hands. We will act against those who instigated it too. Let us not give political colours to it. We should look at it as a law and order issue. Then only such incidents will stop," Bommai said.
