Mysuru, DHNS: Karnataka Mahila Congress president B Pushpa Amarnath on Monday, took severe exception to the arrest of Disha Ravi, a 21-year-old climate activist, and claimed that Disha is not a traitor, but the BJP people are.

In a press conference here, Pushpa said that the BJP is branding the people supporting the farmers as traitors. Isn’t it the BJP, which has forgotten people’s welfare and has failed to give good governance? she asked.

No one, including, women, students, poor people, farmers among others are leading a peaceful life. The BJP leaders should be arrested for killing the agitating farmers in Delhi, she said.
