No decision on banning certain organisations for Bengaluru violence: Karnataka Law Minister

Bengaluru, Aug 20: The Karnataka government on Thursday desisted from taking any decision on banning certain organisations in the absence of concrete reports from police and other departments about their involvement in the violence in parts of Bengaluru on August 11 night.

"We had a detailed discussion but we did not make any concrete decision because as of now we dont have any report (from police and other government departments) and we closed the matter after discussing it," Law Minister J C Madhuswamy told reporters after a meeting of the State cabinet.

Madhuswamy said the ministers discussed at length the matter pertaining to a ban on the organisations but there was no decision as such on it. He added that a final call will be taken only after getting reports from police and other departments.
