Reacting to Ammu’s statements to “behead” the actress, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah had said the country government could provide safety to her and her own family in Bengaluru.
Siddaramaiah has additionally asked Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar to do so against those threatening to damage Deepika.
“I actually have requested the Haryana Chief Minister to take strict motion towards the ones threatening to harm Deepika, as she only performed the lead role in the film as an actress as directed by way of its maker,” Siddaramaiah stated on Monday.
“I condemn the tradition of intolerance and hate perpetuated by means of the BJP and its proper-wing agencies. Karnataka stands by Deepika who is a renowned artist from our state.”
