‘Talibanisation is happening’

New Delhi: Women and Child Development Minister Renuka Chowdhury said on Saturday there was a “breakdown” of law and order in the Karnataka where “Talibanisation” was happening.

“All instruments of democracy” would be used to stop such incidents, she told journalists here, commenting on the abduction of an MLA’s daughter and her friend in Mangalore. “The State government is not in control of the law and order situation ... Talibanisation is happening,” the Minister asserted.

Asked why the Centre was not intervening, Ms. Chowdhury said the government was “respecting the Centre-State ties” but nobody should think that it was “weak or cannot do anything … We are repeatedly warning the State government that it should take cognisance. When it is necessary we will take a step.” — PTI
