K'taka rebel MLAs write to Mumbai police again

July 15, 2019 10:23

Fourteen Karnataka rebel MLAs, who are staying at a hotel in Mumbai after resigning from the state assembly last week, have written to the Mumbai Police again to seek protection from senior Congress leaders who may try to meet them.

Congress's general secretary Mallikarjun Kharge and Karnataka deputy chief minister G Parameshwara are likely to visit the rebel MLAs at Renaissance Hotel in Powai for negotiations with the group that has endangered the survival of the year-old Congress-Janata Dal Secular coalition government in Karnataka.

In their letter, the rebel leaders have also named another senior Congress leader, Ghulam Nabi Azad.

"We have absolutely no intentions in meeting Mallikarjun Kharge ji or Ghulam Nabi Azad ji or any Congress dignitaries or functionaries from Maharashtra and Karnataka Congress team leader or any other political leader... we anticipate serious threat from them," the letter reads.

The rebels may also approach the top court against the Congress leaders if they try to meet them, news agency ANI reported.
