On alleged gangrape in a Hotel in Karnataka's Haveri, BJP Leader Shehzad Poonawalla said, "In Karnataka, the shocking moral policing incident involving 7 men has now taken a more serious proportion. Not only did these men barge into the room of an interfaith couple, assault them, beat up the young Muslim woman, dragged her out, and made a video out of it, but the woman has now complained that she has been gang raped."

"This is the level of law and order in Karnataka. But the voluble and loud Priyanka Vadra, Rahul Gandhi, Congress ecosystem, and spokespersons, all of them are maintaining pin drop silence. Why is it because Karnataka is Congress-ruled or because of the religion of the accused, based on which they will selectively express outreach and selectively remain silent?" he said.
