Bengaluru: The recent sexual abuse allegations against JDS MP Prajwal Revanna have sparked a lot of controversy and speculation. Finally, after keeping quiet for some time, party leader HD Deve Gowda has shared his thoughts on the matter. He made it clear that if his grandson is found guilty, he has no objection to the necessary actions being taken against him.
Gowda, who just turned 92, spoke to reporters and addressed the ongoing court proceedings involving his son and JD MLA HD Revanna, who is also facing similar charges of sexual harassment and kidnapping of a woman. Although he mentioned that the cases against his son were "created", he refrained from commenting further as the matter is still in court.
He also mentioned that Prajwal Revanna is currently out of the country and that his other son, former Chief Minister Kumaraswamy, has publicly stated that it is the government's responsibility to take appropriate action according to the law. Gowda added that Kumaraswamy has also expressed that all parties involved in the matter should be held accountable and the affected women should receive justice and compensation.
Gowda clarified that he has no objections to Prajwal facing consequences for his actions, however, he did mention that the public has become aware of the allegations against Revanna and how the case was fabricated. He also stated that while one case has already resulted in bail, another is still pending and he does not want to comment on the matter.
Recently, Gowda announced that he will not be celebrating his birthday and requested his well-wishers and party workers to extend their wishes from wherever they are. Prajwal, who is currently facing multiple charges of sexual abuse, has caused quite a stir in the political arena with both the ruling Congress and the BJP-JD engaged in a heated debate.
Prajwal is reported to have left for Germany on April 27 and is still at large. In an effort to bring him back, an Interpol Blue Corner Notice has been issued. He was also the joint candidate of the BJP-JD alliance for the Hassan Lok Sabha seat, which went to polls on April 26.
When asked about the allegations of a conspiracy to defame and sabotage his family's political career, Gowda admitted that it is true and that many people are involved. He refused to name anyone and stated that Kumaraswamy will decide on the necessary actions to be taken.
Gowda also addressed the accusations made by BJP leader and advocate G Devaraje Gowda, who claimed that Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar was behind the circulation of a pen drive containing explicit videos involving Prajwal Revanna. Gowda stated that Kumaraswamy will address these allegations as the state President of the party. He also mentioned that he will be meeting with the media on June 4, after the Lok Sabha election results are announced.
Lastly, Gowda requested the media and their respective organizations to give his family some privacy and space during this difficult time. He also appealed to them to leave his house and respect his wishes.
