**Outrage as BJP MLC Accused of Communal Attack on Kalaburagi Deputy Commissioner**

**Kalaburagi, May 27, 2025** – The Akhil Bharatiya Janawadi Mahila Sanghatan (ABJMS) has issued a scathing condemnation of BJP MLC N. Ravikumar, accusing him of making inflammatory and communal remarks against Kalaburagi Deputy Commissioner Fouzia Taranum during a BJP rally on May 24. The ABJMS is demanding an apology from the MLC and calling for legal action.

According to a statement released by the ABJMS, Ravikumar allegedly questioned Taranum’s nationality, asking whether she was from Pakistan, and suggested her office had lost its freedom. The organization alleges Ravikumar’s rhetoric intensified after the crowd applauded his initial statements.

“This tendency of BJP leaders to target officials based on their caste and religion is deeply embedded in the party’s ideology,” the ABJMS stated, drawing a parallel to a past incident involving another BJP leader’s remarks against a decorated army officer.

The ABJMS asserts that Ravikumar’s statements reflect a pattern of disrespect towards women and public servants within the BJP. They are demanding the BJP take immediate action.

“We insist that Mr. Ravikumar apologise to DC Fouzia Taranum, and that the BJP instil the practice of honouring women serving the nation,” the statement concluded. The BJP has yet to respond to the allegations.
