New Delhi: A day after a sedition case was filed against Amnesty International India, the Congress party on Tuesday said that it doesn't agree with Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah's views and that the party prefers to wait and watch.
The party said it also disapproves of Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah calling it a sedition straight away.
After ABVP activists filed a complaint against Amnesty International India over Azadi slogans during an event organised in Bengaluru, Siddaramiah had said on Monday that it was a case of sedition and action needs to be taken against the culprits.
Siddharamaiah had said the police was investigating the case and further course of action will decided accordingly.
Sources also indicate that the reason for this sudden change of heart could also be due to the fact that it contradicts Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi's stand over the sedition issue.
Gandhi who was a vocal supporter of JNU students during the protests over the anti-national sloganeering issue in January had even visited the campus and backed the students over the issue of sedition.
Congress party leaders even expressed doubts whether the allegations of sloganeering by ABVP will stand in a court of law and that could also be the reason why the party chose to issue a statement contradicting Siddaramaiah.
