Bengaluru, May 27 -- Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Tuesday strongly condemned BJP MLC N Ravi Kumar for his "Pakistani" remarks against Kalaburagi Deputy Commissioner (DC) Fauzia Tarannum, describing it as an attempt to "create enmity" in society.

The Chief Minister's statement comes in response to an FIR filed against Kumar, the chief whip of the opposition in the Legislative Council, following his comments, which have sparked outrage.

"Whatever BJP MLC Ravi Kumar said is not appropriate. This is a statement to create enmity. Nothing will happen to her (Kalaburagi DC Fauzia Tarannum), but it is to create enmity in society...I strongly condemn it," Siddaramaiah stated.

Earlier, the Karnataka police had registered an FIR again...
