Bengaluru, May 18: JD(S) patriarch HD Deve Gowda, who turned 92 on Saturday, broke his silence on the sexual abuse charges leveled against his grandson and MP Prajwal Revanna. He stated that he has no objection to the action taken against him if found guilty. However, he mentioned that the cases against his son, JD(S) MLA HD Revanna, who is facing charges of sexual harassment and kidnapping of a woman, were 'created'. He refrained from further commenting as the matter is sub judice.
Recently, Gowda announced his decision not to celebrate his birthday and requested well-wishers and party workers to wish him from wherever they are.
"... I don't want to comment on things that are going on in the court regarding Revanna. Prajwal Revanna has gone abroad. Regarding that, Kumaraswamy (Gowda's other son and state JD(S) chief) has, on behalf of our family, said it is the duty of the government to take action in accordance with the law of the land," Gowda said.
Addressing reporters, the former PM said, "There are several people connected to these sexual abuse cases. I don't want to mention anyone's names. Kumaraswamy has stated that those involved in this matter should face action, and the affected women should get justice and compensation."
"There is no objection from us to taking action against Prajwal. But people have come to know the facts about the allegations made against Revanna, how the case has been created. In one case, he has been granted bail, and in another case, the judgment is expected day after tomorrow... I don't want to comment on it," he said, concurring with Kumaraswamy's statement that if found guilty, no one should be spared.
Prajwal (33) is facing charges of multiple instances of sexually abusing women. The scandal has sparked a political storm with the ruling Congress and BJP-JD(S) engaged in a slugfest.
Prajwal reportedly left for Germany on April 27 and is still at large. An Interpol Blue Corner Notice has been issued against him in an effort to bring him back.
He was the BJP-JD(S) alliance's joint candidate from the Hassan Lok Sabha segment, which went to polls on April 26.
Meanwhile, Gowda's 66-year-old son, Revanna, a former Minister, has been granted interim anticipatory bail from a court here in a sexual harassment case in which his son Prajwal is also an accused.
Asked whether there was a conspiracy to defame and politically scuttle his family, Gowda said, "It is true... considering all that has happened, several people are involved. I won't mention names. Kumaraswamy will address what action needs to be taken."
Responding to a query on BJP leader and advocate G Devaraje Gowda's allegations that Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar is behind the circulation of a pen drive containing explicit videos involving Prajwal Revanna, Gowda said Kumaraswamy will respond to all of this.
"We have seen in the media what Devaraje Gowda has said. Kumaraswamy, as the party's state President, has been actively responding to all this. He will speak. I won't at this point. I had campaigned for the Lok Sabha polls. On June 4, after the Lok Sabha poll results are announced, I will meet with you (media)," he added.
Gowda also appealed to media persons campaigning near his house to end it. "I also appeal to your owners."

Wow just in 9 mins the fire service reaches!!!
The biggest blunder of Modi Government....those who eat beef let them eat it....those who do not with all respect do not eat it....its their choice.....vote bank politics...that should be stopped for once and for all....
Muslims do not eat pig....but do not disturb Christians at all...
Masha allah our great leaders. may Allah give you long life.
incredible India.. The government, high commissioners getting a warning by RSS Terrorists but no action till date and if it is said by Muslim outfits they will name it as terrorism and file case against innocents.
Now impose case against these goondas and let's see how they will react..
If These terrorists warns means don't worry. If they strike and do any other terrorist acts, then shoot them. Automatically Dakshina kannada will become peaceful district like before.
NIA It is Narendra Interests adopting Agency.
They killed karkera, Good police inspectors everywhere Ex. Bathla house attack, etc.
They are arresting whomever opposing RSS and their Terrorist organizations.
and Why not BJP ????????
its unfortunate that ...he included SDPI as a communal group ....its a POLITICAL party ...just because fighting for the rights of minorities and dalits . and killed by RSS government is adding and considering as communal parties ????????????????
RAI , UT and LOBO are behind this to add SDPI too in this list ...
and one more thing is that ... victim of RSS are all including RSS members ( some times RSS kills their own members to shut the mouth) .....now when RSS started to kill civilians in DK and NK....and Popular front started to protest against the same ....now govt added victims in the list to target ...
all though the RSS is the main cause for all ....only RSS should be targeted not PFI or SDPI
All drama baazi...
