"The Congress reaction came in response to Prasad saying — quoting Gauri's brother — that Naxalites were agitated with her because she tried to broker their surrender. The AICC spokesman said the law minister had thrown a red herring by raising questions about the probe into Lankesh's murder because Congress-ruled Karnataka had not yet probed the murder of rationalist M M Kalburgi. "Irony is that Prasad did not tell the nation that BJP-ruled Maharashtra government has taken no action against the killers of two other rationalists, Narendra Dabholkar and Govind Pansare. All three murders are linked to 'Sanatan Sanstha' in Maharashtra which has not been investigated by the state," Surjewala said.
