"If the Central Government does not recall the Governor in connection with the MUDA scam, the Governor may have to face a situation similar to that of the Prime Minister of Bangladesh. And the Governor may have to run away," Mr D'Souza said in Mangaluru
Karnataka Governor Thawar Chand Gehlot's move to authorise the prosecution of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, will have dire consequences, a Congress leader has warned. But the statement of Ivan Dsouza has turned controversial, with him drawing a parallel with Bangladesh's deposed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
"If the Central Government does not recall the Governor in connection with the MUDA scam, the Governor may have to face a situation similar to that of the Prime Minister of Bangladesh. And the Governor may have to run away," Mr D'Souza said in Mangaluru at a protest organised by the party against the Governor.
Mr Siddaramaiah has appealed to the High Court challenging the Governor's move. He called it "illegal and without authority of law", and claimed that prosecution at this point could irreparably harm his reputation.
