Kundapur, Apr 4: “There are several restrictions for the use of mikes under Police Act. Anybody can use mikes subject to those restrictions,” said minister B C Patil.

Speaking to reporters at Uppunda in the taluk on April 4, he said that there is permission to use mikes between 6 AM and 10 PM. “However, there is a rule that it should not go beyond 50 feet,” he said, speaking on the use of loudspeakers in mosques.

“The stand of the government on Halal and Jhatka is not important . The decision of buying is of the people. It is the opinion of people,” he said.

“Congress acts like people who see the world with a limited perspective. They blame BJP for their shortcomings. People should decide about food habits. Congress or BJP cannot decide them. We cannot force them,” B C Patil said.

“Siddaramaiah is feeling that the ground under his feet is collapsing. He has the fear of becoming weak and D K Shivakumar taking his position. He attacks BJP to show that he is influential. There is no need to give any other meaning to it,” he added.

Answering a question about the chief minister’s trip to Delhi, he said that he came to know of it from the newspapers and TV and denied knowledge about it.
