If so, why was she not provided security by the Karnataka Congress government?" asked Prasad.Prasad took issue with Rahul Gandhi, whom he called "the great leader", blaming the RSS for Lankesh's killing. "Even before the 'i' of investigation could start, the great leader Rahul Gandhi, who always speaks without homework, alleged publicly that the RSS and right-wing ideology is involved. In the light of this malafide comment, should we expect a fair investigation from the Congress government in Karnataka?" wondered Prasad.The minister then railed against the "hypocrisy and double standard" of "liberals and intellectuals" who have condemned Lankesh's murder.
