Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, in an exclusive interview to NDTV, appeared to defend the rising tide of communal violence in the state spearheaded by Hindutva outifts, blaming it on what he called as a wave of attacks against Hindutva activists under the previous Congress government. This, he said, had caused "uneasiness and anger in society". 'Do you expect nothing to happen after so many killings? My role is that of an umpire. I will visit the home of Muslim victim soon," he said.
