Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], April 21 : A day after the Karnataka High Court dismissed D K Shivakumar's plea in a disproportionate assets case, the Congress leader on Friday said that he will fight till his last breath."I will approach the High Courts; I will fight till the last breath. I believe in a court of law. I still believe they have done an injustice. Everything is transparent," said Shivakumar, the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) President."I believe in people's court, they (BJP) are trying to use various agencies...I am very cautious on every move, I am also a political mal," Shivakumar said.Meanwhile, the Election Commission today accepted the nomination of Shivakumar for the Kanakapura assembly constituency.Hitting out at the Bharatiya Janta Party government, Shivakumar alleged that the double engine government could not help people during Covid, drought and other kinds of problems."BJP is blackmailing the people of Karnataka. The double engine could not help during Covid, drought and any kind of problems. They are harassing West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh and many other opposition government states. We can sustain all these pressures," the Congress leader said.Shivakumar further said that despite having all his papers in order he had been served notices by the Income Tax department."All my papers are transparent whatever I have filled to the election commission, Income Tax, ED, Lokayukta and CBI. They are trying to interpret it in a different format. They want to create problems for me and they are harassing me. Notices have been given to me by the Income Tax department. I don't want to talk about law/court matters. I am ready to face whatever they give," he said.Yesterday, Shivakumar, had filed a petition in the Karnataka High Court challenging the sanction given by the Karnataka State government to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to prosecute him.Shivakumar had filed an application stating that the Karnataka government's order for the CBI probe was wrong.Hearing arguments of both sides, the single-judge bench led by Justice Natarajan had dismissed Shivakumar's petition.In 2019, the BS Yeddyurappa government sanctioned an investigation against DK Shivakumar. At that time, the CBI registered an FIR with the State government's permission.
