Expressing surprise over the detention of noted historian Ramachandra Guha on Thursday for staging a protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act, Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa instructed police to exercise restraint against the agitators.
"Where? (Guha arrested)...without reason police should not take law into their hands, I will immediately issue instructions," a surprised Yediyurappa said on hearing about the detention of Guha.
Speaking to reporters here, he said, "Action should be taken against 'goonda' elements and those indulging in disturbing law and order, and no action should be taken against common people, if any such thing has happened action will be taken against officials."
