PM Narendra Modi

on Sunday blamed the governing

Congress

’s politics of “appeasement” in Karnataka for the murder of MCA student

Neha Hiremath

on a Hubbali college campus.
“Outrage over the murder of our daughter Neha is resonating across the country. Parents in Karnataka are now afraid of sending their children to college because they don’t know who is protecting them.

Can you rely on Congress to protect your daughters?” he asked a gathering of BJP supporters in Belagavi.
Modi said the murder of Neha, a Congress councillor’s daughter, was the outcome of “they (alluding to minorities) knowing there is a way to get away with heinous crimes”. “Once the heat dies down, they know Congress will let them escape.”
